Bye Bye Closet!

Ok, so the year has really started out with a bang. Let's recap shall we? It rained into our house for the first 3 days of the year. The 4th day was a "clean-up" day. When I finally returned to work on Wednesday,after being gone for more than a week now, I was there for about an hour and a half and the power went out, for 2 days! I get back to work on Friday and I had to drop off some equipment at my brothers. When I arrived there, I had to use the bathroom. When I try to leave the bathroom, the door handle is stuck and I am locked in the bathroom! So much so that they had to take the outside trim off the door to get me out! What a way to start. I am hoping it can only get better. We are once again having to downsize, with the removal of the closet. I can not believe that we have to pare down even more than we have already, but it's true. So here we go, packing more clothes into more tubs and pretty soon here's what you get!

And look who's trying to "help"! Now let me walk you thru what it will be like in the morning to get ready. Wake up, Good Morning! Go out into the living room and get some clothes, first from the dressers Then from the "closet".

And then back into the bedroom to get dressed! Here is where the closet used to be.

You should see how great it looks. You can now really see how open the whole living room, den, dining room, kitchen is going to look. Fantastic! We have done nothing but have meeting after meeting today! First with our landscape architect. She brought over several concept designs so we could lead her down the right path. She is doing a great job. The front and back are going to look so awesome when we are done. Then the kitchen cabinet guy came over. He is done measuring our kitchen (we've actually ordered the cabinets last weekend! So exciting!), but they have been so great we are having them make our bathroom cabinets. So he came by to measure for those cabinets. In between then I took Whitney to the eye doctor. She has been having a little trouble and we wanted to make sure she was ok and she is! From there we had to run to Van Nuys (beautiful downtown) to pick up all of the faucets we need for all of the baths! The plumber will be here tomorrow to plumb for all of that. We got some beautiful facuets from this place at very reasonable prices! So back from there to meet with the drywall guy! It just goes on and on.....but in a good way. Bright and early tomorrow the window installation crew shows up to install all of our doors and windows, 7am! I said bright and early and I meant it! The next set of photo you will see all the doors and windows in! I am very anxious to see it. Until then..... HD/S: 141
