The finished results

The Great Remodel of 2008 is mostly complete, save for a few finish items here and there. As I promised, I do have photos!

Here are the big before and afters...

Those shelves are my pride and joy. I want to make out with them and I stare at them all the time thinking how awesome it is to have such a great place to show off my books.

Now that we have been living down there for a few weeks, I couldn't be happier with the results. The pain and suffering was all worth it. The kids have a place for all their toys and now the upstairs living room and kitchen look so awesome and clean and neat without plastic items strewn about on every surface.

Just today I was sitting downstairs trying to show Emmie how to crawl on the carpeting and Jack was playing with his new kitchen when I thought about how lucky I am. Thanks to Josh for making it possible for us to expand the house and keep me home with the kids.

Now about that third-floor bathroom, there's some changes I think I want...

It looks fantastic, Amy! I love the shelves, too...not in the make out sort of way, but they are beautiful.

And, yes, you are a lucky, lucky woman. Have fun in your new space!

I also am very jealous of the shelves... I have boxes and boxes of books in the garage that haven't even made it into the house!
