Fatty's "New" Room and Boobie's New Room

After:

Boobie's new room









Fatty's 'new' room: this used to be Boobie's room




Princess gets her room back




The construction process




A back door for emergency exit FINALLY!




The new closets



Back door: not to worry... door is double locked and I have the key :)








The new room addition is finally complete (well 95% complete). All 3 kids have their own rooms and I could not be happier. It was by chance that the room was mostly under construction while we were away on vacation, which made it so much more bearable for us. It was even better coming back home from vacation to a slightly bigger house.


Initially we wanted to build the extra bedroom for Fatty, but seeing as the room is the last room on the house and has a back entry for emergency exits, we thought it fitting to have Boobie move into the room and give Fatty his old room.


Construction took about 2 weeks. The guy filled in the floor with cement to even it out, then he cut a doorway into Boobie's room. He added the back door (using an existing door we already had at the front of the house that was unused... that wall got filled in with blocks and cement and awaits a fresh coat of paint) and a window. The room is so nice and fitting for a pre-teen boy. As he gets older, Boobie may want the key to the back door for discreet entries (and exits) LOL.


For now, Boobie enters his room through Fatty's room, but Fatty is a toddler and really could care less... the fact is he has his own room. His own private space, finally. No more sharing with big sis. Princess gets her princess room as well. I cannot wait to decorate and put the finishing touches on each room.
