We just can't seem to quit!

Every time The Hub and I finish up a room/project, we say, "Okay, that's it. We're DONE for a while." Then no sooner do the words come out of our mouths than we're tearing something else up.

The latest room has been many things over the past year+. Mostly, it's been a thorn in my side. I LOVE that we have that extra room, but it was just ugly, dirty, yuck. First, it was my craft room. I didn't love that because I had to walk thru the bedroom we'd made for Mom to get to it. Then we flip-flopped the rooms so that we had to walk thru my craft room to get to Mom's bedroom. We never *did* anything with it, though, as far as updating. We put down a carpet remnant for a temporary fix instead of bare concrete floor.

Now that Mom's gone back to MS to take care of Grandma, Breeze wanted the room for herself. Initially we were going to do a switcheroo of the girls' rooms but changed our minds. Yeah, remember all those harlequins I taped off and hand-painted last year? All for nothing, I guess. We've butted heads over air conditioning and doors open/closed, so it really is for the best.

So enough rambling; on with the pics! This is the left and right sides of the room before. Once upon a time, it was obviously a carport that got enclosed.

You can imagine my cringing every time I looked in there b/c I despise that awful 70's paneling. We knew that behind two of those walls there was brick. I wanted that left exposed because I think it just looks so cool.

We also took out those two closets at that end of the room, and built one at the opposite end. A new window went in as well as insulation, wiring, and drywall.

So lots of work, demolition, cleanup, etc. happened, and this is where we are now.

Since Breeze did a color change on me, she's in need of a duvet cover because that purple just screams against the red. Oh, and it isn't fire engine red like that last pic looks. It's Valspar "Fabulous Red" which is quite red enough for my taste.

We still need to install closet doors and put down the rest of her flooring, but I'm just ecstatic that the dungeon room is actually pretty nice now. The things we do for our little gothic princess.
