someone's been watching too much HGTV

i must say, I LOVE HGTV. love watching a space transformed. love being inspired. love making my home more user friendly. with six of us, every single square foot counts!


when we first looked at this house, one of the things i loved about it was that each bedroom has a walk in closet. for a home built in 1970 that is something to be celebrated! but in addition to that, there was also a great big walk in closet in the hall way upstairs. and even then, i thought it would make a great art room for the kids.


creativity is in their blood...give them a stack of paper, some pencils, scissors and glue and they are in heaven. i love their creations...but hate that it has to happen in MY space LOL


bobby's sisters (aunt T and aunt melba...really terry and melinda LOL) and his mom (nanny...really catherine) sent money for the kids...we decided to use that to make over the walk in closet...to transform it into a SUPER COOL CREATIVE SPACE just for the boys.


i am sooo happy with how it turned out and sooooo happy to have my island back :)

i forgot to take a picture of before we started tearing down shelves and closet rods...here's a 'semi-before' pic:



and ta-da...the 'after' pics:








nanny, melba & t, thank you so much. this is a gift that will keep on giving. xoxo.
