Installing a shower and a card!

Finally another post, after a busy full work week, I had some relaxing time yesterday, did some shopping with Anouk, she needed a new Wintercoat and got 2 skinny jeans' too. Today Daylight saving time ended, so we had an extra hour of sleep, nice!!!!!!!

It's been a while that I showed you some pictures of the rebuilding we are still doing in the basement. This time of year is perfect for Henk to do some stuff there, and he did this weekend.

This is a corner in the bathroom downstairs, we are either building shelves there or by a nice cupboard to put towels and other stuff in. At the right side, you can't see it, is a toilet.



The vanity, tiles which were grouted yesterday and that makes it look a lot nicer. All the drywall has to be painted still, it's gonna be a kind of seablue, can't wait to see how it looks!

And this is the shower, it looked like this for a long, long time, Summer came..... no time to do stuff, so ........ we had to put the glass sides in..........

That was some work, the sides had to fit over the base which is on the walls, and actually, we needed extra hands, but... Henk and I both managed to get it right, so high five for us! Looks great doesn't it?

Then it was time to put the door in..... kind of difficult, so we needed Anouk to give us a hand, and that worked out perfectly fine! Henk is fixing something, no idea what to be honest LOL

And this is how it looks with the door closed..... and hubby didn't wanna get out, he was busy so... that's him you see! To make it extra funny it would be a great thing to turn the water on don't you think??? He, he! So, this needs some finishing touches, and then it's done. The drywall needs some mudding, and sanding, the most time taking work I think, and I guess by then we can start painting! So looking forward to the day it's finished, cause then we can do some shopping, by some nice matching towels and wash cloth's, some decoration...... Ah well, keep on dreaming, it'll happen and I'll keep you updated with pictures of what's going on.

This afternoon I finally had some "me" time, and lifted a Christmas card my sis made and showed on her blog a while ago! I don't think it looks as beautiful as hers, but.... that's because I don't have the papers she used! This is made with Basic Grey's Dasher, an old Winter line, but I still like it. Cut the Christmas trees myself, punched out stars, and used some K&Company's rub-ons for the "title". The longer I look at it, the more I start to like it! Got some more ideas, but not enough time left today, people here start to yell about supper...... Geez, give a girl some time...... gotto update here right?

Well, that's it for now, thanks for stopping by and have a great day! I have to work Monday and Tuesday and I think I'm off the rest of the week.... more "me" time coming?????

My new Scraproom!

In my last post I told you about me being busy painting and moving all my scrapbookstuff to my new room. Well.. it's done, finished, and it looks awesome, at least, I think so. Nothing fancy, but just my plain old stuff, nothing matching, but I don't care, I got a nice big room in which I feel pretty good!

This was the old room, Anouk's bedroom, pretty messy, cause she really doesn't like cleaning!

Same room, totally different colors...... yep, pink, I'm scrappin' in CandyLand now!! But, I love it!

And here it's competely finished! Every photo is taken from the same spot in the room, every shelve is hanging, my desk is in front of the window, love it!

Not everything is on photo, I got a closet in this room which holds all my albums, and my cabinets on wheels, but they are so old and ugly, I don't wanna see them!

And then a single photo of a very important spot in my room....... the computerdesk! Yep, just had coffee! Well, that's my new room and I like it very much!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the day!

She slept in her basement bedroom!

Yes, last night she slept in her new bedroom in the basement, my oldest..... Finally, she was so happy. It's not done yet, but she couldn't care less, all excited the carpet was on the floor, walls were painted, she was in a rush, had to sleep there, not matter what! Well, I can understand it completely, 8 month's she shared a bedroom with her sister, and was so ready for her own.

It is kind of empty, but.... she can sleep! She took her bed apart upstairs, carried it to the basement part by part, made the bed, put a small table besides it, lamp, alarmclock, chair for her clothes, oh yeah, she needed this!

Seen from her bed, this is the other side of the room, with the door to the hallway. Nothing on the walls yet, but we've got time! She wants to go to the Dollarama, and have a look there, if she can find some nice stuff...... I guess she looks after her mom!

Henk still has some work to do, finish the closet, we're gonna hang a nice curtain in front of it, instead of a door, the door to the basement has to be put in, but hey, if she can sleep without all that, it's fine by me!

As you can see, someone else put her matras on the floor, cause she wanted to spend the night with her sister! I'm so curious.... where will they sleep most, alone, or together... they are so used to it now, that it's a bit strange to have your own bedroom all to yourself!

We've put some old curtains in front of the window, the window-frame has to be build too, so now she has darkness in her room. When it's done, I'll buy her new ones!

Marloes haar kamer

Er wordt nog steeds gewerkt in de basement hoor, alleen niet zo hard als in het begin! Bij iedereen wel bekend denk ik, druk, druk en nog eens druk. Maar..... er begint schot in te komen, een heel gedeelte is al gedaan met gipsplaten, nog een klein stukje, en dan kan er geverfd worden.

Deze kamer komt aan de voorkant van het huis, je ziet een raam, en een stuk muur, waar waarschijnlijk Marloes' bed komt te staan!

De andere kant van de kamer, met de deur naar de basement hal, hier moet nog gips tegen aan!

Dit is weer de andere kant op muur zonder gips, rechts kan je naar de andere ruimte in de basement, en die houten ombouw tegen de gipsmuur aan wordt een kleding kast. Nog even doorzetten en dan heeft Marloes eindelijk haar eigen kamer! En dan de rest nog...... badkamer, logeerkamer, rec-room...... oh jeetje, we zijn er nog lang niet!!
