Room Makeover

                  We had a small bedroom that was a multipurpose room, so to speak.   I exercised in it, sewed, painted and ironed it in.   We have three other bedrooms and sometimes there's still not enough beds to accommodate family or friends!  lol   Besides that, I thought it was a lot of work to use a queen bed if a toddler grandchild was sleeping over.  
Here's the room before we made a few changes.

Hubby used this room to watch TV in occasionally so we got him a nice comfy recliner when he retired.  That stayed.

Then the change started.  I asked a master builder at our church if he could custom make some bunk beds for me.   He was so gracious to fit it in his busy schedule.  I put a little pressure on him because I needed them done A.S.A.P. for all the company that came to town for my birthday.  lol   He was happy to oblige!

Here it is taking shape.

They were just finishing as I came back from the airport with my sister.   The first of many to arrive.

I put my married nieces in the bunks when they arrived a couple of days later.   Worked out great!

Here's the finished room.    I moved an entertainment center from our bedroom into this room and got a new little flat screen TV.    The grand kids will use this room  to watch their movies .
The Flag on the wall is from the table in the above pictures.   I had painted it 20 some yrs. ago and didn't want to get rid of it so I had hubby take off the top of table to hang it.

I put book shelves on a small wall to showcase the things that were either on the wall previously or on the floor.   You may notice the boat that was on the floor is now on it's side on the top of the bookcase.   That was Ceekay's idea.
The builder said he could make custom shelves for us instead of the ones from Target!   Hubby told him to go for it.   So more changes are a coming.  lol
I made the curtains and cushions.   The hope chest I've had since I was 16.

I still can open my total gym and use the room for exercise.   See, it's folded up in the corner with my exercise ball.

I had drawers built in the bottom for linen storage and for the grand kids's "things".   They are nice and big!

I found the comforters at K-Mart.    Notice the little captain's wheel on them.

Now I can wash twin sheets for the kiddies instead of queen ones.  lol
