A New Project

When we went house hunting, the list of must haves were pretty long.   Well, not my list.  But my husband had a ton of must haves.  The thing with being a disabled person, you an't just take any house you want.  It has to be able to fit your needs for a long time with the ability to change if needed.  And we got almost everything we wanted.   Hubs list included a single story house, fenced yard, no sloping yard, double car garage, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, closer to the freeway than we had been.  And of course price range.  I wanted a larger kitchen and a laundry room.  You know, mom priorities and all.  Hahaha.  The thing we didn't get was double closets or a walk in closet in the master bedroom.  

Well, we've moved our furniture around several times.  And what ended up working for us was for hubs to take the closet in our bedroom.  And I would use the closet in the "spare" bedroom.  But then we had another baby.  And I used his closet for a while.  I mean, it was already a big adjustment moving my sewing stuff into the laundry room.  But we were still down a closet.   Then we looked into an armoire.  Do you have any idea how expensive they are?  So then I looked into building one.  And I found plans.  But I'd have to edit them to accommodate our bedroom layout.  And I was nervous about making one.  I'm not sure why since I made our bed.  And it's lasted almost 2 years now.  

So while I was still making adjustments to the building plans, I came across this gem on a buy/sell/trade site.

So while this isn't exactly what I want, it's a great start somewhere.  And it's in great shape.  Really all I have to do is fix a few problems with the door and some scratches on the bottom.  And paint it to match our bed.  So it should be a quick easy fix.  Now I gotta find a new home for my dresser.  I'm thinking of using it as our tv stand in the living room.  And getting rid of the 1980's entertainment center that has probably been handed down several times.  I'm kinda excited about this one.   Quick, easy and lightweight to move.
