We FINALLY finished our playroom! We literally started this project like 3 months ago. When we moved in this playroom and a bathroom were re-done by the previous homeowner- he basically took one big room and split it up into a smaller room and bathroom- and it was done HORRIBLY! The framing is crap- the ceiling was crap- the trim was crap- you get the picture. We completely redid the ceiling ( it wasn't square - horrible texture on ceiling and the guy literally nailed drywall into the vent) , sanded the walls ( they had like lumps of paint on them!! ) added a vent ( yep the room had no heat vent! ) and painted the whole thing! It looks so much better and actually looks like its part of our house now!
Here's a before of the ceiling:

So glad that project is done. Korb did a great job!! Next project is that bathroom!!!!
It's kind of fun remodeling things and seeing the finished project! Our original hope was to put our house up for sale in the spring and move next summer. And as much as I still wish so much that we could I think our best choice is to stay here for a couple more years. We want our next house to be one we stay in for years, and we want to be able to do it how we want and put what we want into it, and get the area we want! And our best bet to accomplish all that is to wait about 3-4 years until Em starts school and I can go back to work! One thing I'm learning is how sometimes we have to make the best of our situation and choices. Do I wish the schools were better out here? For sure! Do I wish I lived much closer to my church? Absolutely. Do I wish my house was brand new and fancy? All the time. But it will come. So for now I'm going to make the best of it and remodel our house slowly to make it more how I want, I'll keep making the drive to my church because I LOVE it, and I will remind myself that I will miss this house and this place when we leave. As Shayla always says to me. . Mom, "Its all good!"
Plus they seem pretty happy here!!! :)
