The Blog Begins...

We wanted an easy way for everyone to keep up with our progress as we begin our renovation to turn our currently unused den into our master suite, complete with bedroom, bathroom and closet. For the two years we have lived in our house, we have only used our den as an all purpose storage area and of course the perfect puppy play area. But, the time has come to add a third bedroom to our house and to start to transform our 1930s ranch into our dream home.

The first step of the process included cleaning out the room, which managed to become piled high with give away boxes and all that "stuff" we just didn't know what to do with. After we sorted through everything and made our keep, give away, and throw away piles, we got to moving everything to its new location, and ended up with this:
