"Bonk" Beds!

Just when I think I have everything planned out and just the way it should be, I start thinking! This is what happened after the latest middle of the night thinking session!! How do we get Jake's crib in the warmer of the two guest bedrooms with two beds in there already? Bunk beds, that's how!!! Or as Paul calls them: Bonk Beds!!

Paul said "Doesn't it make you just want more kids?" Well, no it doesn't but they look cool anyway!! Reminds me of the old days when this was the boy's room and they had bunk beds in here. Why didn't I save those beds?

Merry Christmas!

From our little tree to yours:

Merry Christmas!!

99% Finished!!!

We are almost there!!! Here are the pictures we took two weekends ago of the "finished" kitchen! This was before I got all the 6 million boxes unpacked and into the cabinets. Deciding where to put things was tough. The kitchen is completely different than it was so I couldn't just put things back kind of where they were. I will have to admit that some of the things just got "put" anywhere I could find room. I will deal with it later after I get used to the kitchen layout!!
The only thing we are waiting on is the top of the hutch still needs to be worked on. Once we got the under counter lights in we could see there was a slight defect in the wood. They have been out twice to fix it and there is at least one more trip out this week. Hopefully it will be finished this week. The glass shelves and doors in the hutch should be going in this week also.

Coffee pot is ready for the morning coffee!! It is so nice not making coffee in the bathroom sink!!

Bar Stools are set for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Charging station ready to get filled up. This is working out great. I'll have to post another picture now that I have it almost filled up. We have the phones on the bottom shelve and the radio next to it. Keys and junk go on the next shelve up and then book on the top three shelves. I don't know where I am going to put all the "extra" books. When we packed up I got rid of over 80% of the books but I still have about 5 boxes in the living room that I have no idea what I am going to do with!! I think we need to fix up the computer area so we can put books there. Will this never end??????
