"Men fix the room"

The construction on our bonus room is complete.  We are super happy with the work and are really impressed that they got everything done in just 5 days.  Joseph LOVED the general contractor, "Mr. Josh" and still talks about him even though they have been done for almost a week now.  When Josh left for the very last time he honked his horn so Joseph keeps talking about "Mr. Josh beep horn".  During the construction I kept telling him that there were men here to fix the room so he would say "Men fix the room" whenever anybody came in the house or walked upstairs.  We are going to use the room as a playroom for now and eventually an office and we hit up Ikea and Target today for the first of some of the organizational storage pieces for the room (and an easel that I just couldn't resist!)  Rich commented that it really looks like it just came as part of the house so I guess that is all you can ask for!  Here are a few pictures of the change-

The room before-it was basically as soon as you walked up the stairs to the right-just an open space, and I just never was crazy about having an open space up there.

 First day-demolition!  We found out that there was 2 1/2 feet of empty space behind the wall so they knocked down a wall to give us extra square footage and they also knocked down the 2 alcoves next to the window which were both just dead space.

 How the room looked like for the first few days.

 Before the floors went in...starting to look like a room!

 Almost done!

 And complete!  These next pictures are dark but the idea is there.  

Once the room is furnished and set up we'll take some more pictures!  Joseph loves dancing and jumping around in the room and it will be so nice to have a "home" for the toys-although I am sure they will continue to be scattered around the house!  Next project is painting the rest of the bedrooms and the hallways and then we'll work on getting the nursery ready for our baby girl...just about 2 months to go-hoping to get it all done!
