As previously mentioned, we asked Oma & Opa if they would help do some home improvements around here while they visited. Oma stayed for some extra time which has allowed a lot of objects to get a good coat of paint. One of the projects involved bringing their old bookshelf back to life. This was a piece they bought after great-grandpa Beran died in 1974 while they lived in California. Not only has it made the numerous moves for them, it has made all my moves as well. It also was modified to fit a TV (big hole cut in the back). To bring it back to life, Opa added some crown molding and uses wainscoting to cover the existing hole. Oma then painted it black and gave it some new hardware. This turned out much better than expected.
The biggest project was transforming Izzy's room into a big girl room. When we first moved here, there was not storage. So we separated her room from all the boxes by a big drape (see above). In the interim, we have acquired storage in the basement allowing her room to be transformed. Oma & Opa brought up my childhood bed for Izzy. Several painting jobs (the walls and my old childhood furniture turned a pretty blue), and Izzy is happy to be sleeping in her 'big girl' bed. You wouldn't know if from this picture however.
