Where you could sleep, and count your sheep.

The spare bedroom is one of the rooms that we have actually done very little to. With all the painting we have done, we decided to leave the spare room the way it was. Here are a few of the things we did to Millerfy it:

-Took down the 'cute as a bug' decor. (Another way of de-4-year-olding the house)
-Touch-up painted the walls
-Put up new, white blinds
-Hung curtains that we had in our previous house
-Painted closet
-Built closet storage units
-Fill it with furniture from Kristi's room growing up

Other than the previously mentioned items, can you tell what else is different between the first 2 photos?

The closet was a relatively small, but pretty rewarding project for me. After getting some ideas, I built the clothes rack (with the help of Kurt) for my hanging clothes out of 2X4s, a 1X10, and a 3/4 inch rod . Then I built the closet maid shelves for my other clothes out of the previous owners metal racks, plus one I purchased. Horray for not having clothes in luggage!

Ok, so I know I said it was relatively small, but to me it was actually a pretty big project. It took days of work to spackle, paint, build, respackle, build and repaint. So when you think a project will just take you a day, YOU ARE PROBABLY WRONG!

So now when you visit, you have a place to stay! Even couples can stay in this room, since the bed is a day bed (which I had never heard of).

So schedule a visit!
