New Addition

We have closets- glorious closets in our game room! The only complaint we have with our house is that it has no storage. I wish I had some before pictures of this room but you can just imagine boxes stacked all the way to the ceiling and then covered with a sheet. Games stacked and covered with blankets- and then try to tell a 4 year old and a 2 year old to stay out of the games (my that didn't work). We found a contractor through Darren's work (the husband of one of his co-workers) and Mr. Todd and his son worked for three weeks to make our beautiful closets. Really, if you hadn't seen the room before you would never know that the closets didn't come with the original house plans. They look so nice! We had two closets built, one on either side of a window. The doors face the inside and it really has opened up the room.
Shelves were put in on one side for all the games.

And finally a closet for all of Darren's collectibles! The shelf along the top is for his signed basketballs and other memorabilia.

Yes, this is the closet now. Can you see how badly we needed it? Really this one is almost all baby stuff so if we can just stop having kiddos then we can empty most of this.

And here is the collectible closet with a few other things thrown in- wouldn't want to waste any space.

Doesn't it look nice (minus the vacuum cord).


Here is how the room looks now (nice and calm)

We finally put in the TV that Darren worked so hard to buy when he got to Walmart at 4:30am the day after Thanksgiving! The surround sound works great and the kids love to watch movies up there. They say that it echoes! We can certainly cross that home repair job off our list.
