The Before [and a little bit during]

It's finally done! Well, almost. 

Anyone who's taken on a DIY project around the house knows that the word 'done' is an elusive little bugger.

I guess it's safe to say that I'll be able to move my Punky Jane studio into the new space soon. And to be a little more specific: very soon.

I thought I'd share a few pictures of the transformation. 

First, THE BEFORE:

[The old tool room]

After emptying out the room, I had to test paint colors right away. Stormy Sea or Frozen Pond? 

Frozen Pond wins! I love the way it looks with the white ceiling and the flooring that my sweet husband rescued from the dump. [note the whacky angle of the wall. The room started out with this odd shape...it's not just leaning!]

We have a running joke in our house that he comes home from the dump with more than he took. But when I look at this floor and the bike he built for our 8 year old from 'dump parts,' I can't help but be impressed.

More pictures to come as we move furniture and tools in over the next couple of weeks!
