Extreme Makeover!

Tonight's episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition was for the Beach Family, from Kemah, Texas. And Taylor was lucky enough to go to the home reveal! So to celebrate the show and pass time till it started we decided to have a makeover of our own...


Welcome to Extreme Makeover Niche Edition!!!

"GOOD AFTERNOON, BLOG READERS!!!"

We have a sort of awakward area in our apartment... a catch all of a sort. Well, it's time to put on the hard hats and get to work....

Before

Disaster Zone!


Clean up time...


Hard at work!
(Actual EHME hard hat from the site!)


"MOVE THAT CURTAIN!!!"

Welcome to your new Crafting Area, Rodriguez Family!!!

And the budget? Today we shopped at IKEA with a 10% Easter discount. The only thing we purchased for this little makeover were the two shelves shown above. On sale and with the discount they totaled only $38.00...$2 less than an amount we had stashed away from a little bit of Craigslisting a found ottoman...we found an ottoman that a neighbor had left by the dumpster, enjoyed it for a bit in our apartment, then sold it on Craigslist for $40! Thanks mystery neighbor for our new shelves! :)

The actual show was really moving. The Beach family really deserves every bit of love that they recieved. It was exciting to follow and in a way be apart of it all. If you watched the show you might have seen Taylor in the background with her sign!... if not you can catch it online soon.

Welcome home, Beach family! Welcome home, sweet Mercy!
