The last few days up to D-day were like running a marathron. Racing to get everything done by 2pm on the 4th. We finished up painting the walls then started on getting the closet together & some trim to really give it that finished look. Of course we finally got to take the pink paper off the floor.

Paint along the wall we decided to keep orginial

More paint around the room

Closet door

Shelf & closet rod

The trim may look a little big and that’s because our house has big trim everywhere else so we decided it should match as close as possible even if it was going to cost us a little more in the end.

We put everything together that we could on the 3rd like the nickel satin outlet covers & the nickel satin trim for the lights. We were even able to put up the shelf for my hello kitty TV. Then we put in the laundry sink & right before we tossed in the towel at 1am we put in the dryer.

Everything but the sink

Moved the Dryer, oh come on that wasn’t hard

To make matters worst I brought home a free find that I saw near work. Thought we could use the top cabinet above the washer & dryer then wasn’t sure about the bottom but instead of Gregg having to build a bench seat for in front of the window by the freezer. He cut a hole in the side that was big enough for the cats to get in & out then we can open the door to clean their litter. And the drawers help with a little storage. But this was another project that we were trying to get done in time as well. And both pieces needed more work then I thought went I first saw them. We had to replace the top on the upper cabinet plus the doors were falling apart. The bottom unit didn’t have it’s original top so we needed to replace that plus Gregg thought it too tall to sit in front of the window, so we cut down the legs & put support beams in so we could actually sit on it.

Free to a good home

Storage & kitty litter station

We see the finish line but will we make it. One way or the other we made sure we were ready. We had planned to wake up at 8am to start cleaning the house to get ready for the family then go back to the laundry room to hopefully put the washer in. Well we got up at 10am instead & we only had until 2pm before we had to call it quits. Well we cleaned up until 1pm then we went to put in the washer.

Even put up our ikea painting up

We didn’t get to finish everything that we wanted but we came closer then we thought possible at moments. And we were happy with how far we did get done. Since then we have trimmed one of the windows that we didn’t before & put up a few more things on the walls to help complete the look of the room.
