Extreme Makeover: Main Floor Bedrooms Edition
For the past year or so I’ve been hounding Heather to give up her “room” so I can move my computer, etc into her room and convert it into an office/spare bedroom. I also wanted to get our bed off the wall and out of the corner so one of us wouldn’t have to crawl over the other to get in and out. She finally agreed to it after we got engaged gave me a deadline to have it done by the time she returned from her practicum, which happened to be this past Saturday. Being an expert in time management I left it until Friday to get started. I took the day off work to work on it but it ended up taking until Saturday evening to finish.
Here are some of the before pictures:

Heather's Dresser
My Dresser and TV in the Main Bedroom
A Permanent Mess in the corner of the Main Bedroom
The Computer desk in the main bedroom beside the bed
So as you can tell everything was a little cramped in both rooms. If you’d like to take a look at some of the in progress pictures, I’ve uploaded the process in photos to both my flickr and Picasa web albums. Here’s the links to both of those:

Here are some of the after pictures to show you what a difference this entire process has made.
Main bedroom with the bed now out of the opposite corner and against the far wall.
The dressers now both in the same room with the TV still at the foot of the bed.
This is what took up a lot of the time setting up the computer desk but it's well worth it to have the cords off the floor.
The finished office. It feels nice to finally have it out of the bedroom and on its own.
The main bedroom is now so empty compared to before that there’s an echo. Heather and I are trying to decide on a really good picture to Rasterbate to put on the wall to use up some space. We might even do 2. Bottom line, we’re very happy with the way everything turned out and although it’s not 100% done we feel a lot less cramped in the house.
