Adding on...

You've read that Coco and I are adding on to our family, but we have also decided to keep life interesting by adding on to our little home! Why let it rain when it can pour? I think we are crazy. It sure will be interesting. Let's just pray I keep my sanity (and that Coco can exhibit a supernatural amount of patience with his psychotic wife). It would be an understatement to say that I don't do "messy" well {I am sure that right now MC is reading this with a smirk on her face}, I don't even do "untidy" well. I have mentioned I am neurotic - most of this relates to my home. I straighten the pillows on the couch before I go to bed every night. There are no dishes left in the sink - ever. I like neat AND clean. I know, I know...those of you with children feel sorry for me. My world is about to be rocked. Hard. I guess this little home addition project will be good practice for the MAJOR addition in July. I am officially out of control (now, I know I have never been in control however God is REALLY making His point now. I am so thankful He is faithful because I am most certainly a work in progress!).

With that said, Coco and I have spent the better part of the last few weeks purging, donating, trashing and storing. We have cleaned out closets and moved all of the furniture out of our master bedroom and "office" (soon-to-be nursery) to a 10x10 storage unit. Let the fun begin...

The current state of our master bedroom - the wall with the window...soon to be demolished. :)

I guess by now you are wondering what we are adding on. Our house is currently a 3 bedroom, 1 bath abode nestled in about 1,000 square feet (those of you with children who didn't feel for me before - you do now!). Since we love where we live and most things about our home we decided in order to stay here a while we need a bit more space. In 8-10 weeks we will have a slightly larger master bedroom with a master bathroom, his/her closets, laundry room and screened-in back porch. Yippee!! I can't wait for the end result. I will be waiting patiently in the guest bedroom. Right in the middle of the dust, er, action. :)

I do love design and Coco and I are having fun picking out bathroom fixtures and paint colors. Oh, and nursery decor! We are sure to not be without excitement and exhaustion. I will keep everyone posted along the way!
