BEDROOM CHANGEOVER

Not too long after graduating from college, Baby Brother Cat decided he did not want to come back home to live with Momma and Daddy Cat (big surprise). Baby Brother Cat has taken a lot of his things to live with him, but his room stayed pretty much the same until recently.  

Momma Cat put new Cat curtains in the room.

Then, Momma Cat gave the twin bed, and the desk to a woman that she works with.  Now her grandchildren are using it!

Momma and Daddy Cat bought a sofa bed from IKEA, and Daddy Cat put it together.

Here's the completed frame of the sofa bed.

Even though there is still a lot to do to make this room really nice, it is already able to accomodate two guests, which Momma and Daddy are expecting next weekend!  They are so excited!  Baby Brother Cat and his girlfriend are coming home for a short visit.  They'll be the first ones to stay in the new guest room!

Their plan is to paint the room,add a rug, and some more lights.  There are bookcases with lots of books in the room already, so it will look sort of like a little library!

Hopefully Momma and Daddy Cat will have the time and money to make these changes  happen over the next few months!  Momma Cat will keep you updated on their progress!

IKEA STRIKES AGAIN, OR, FROM OLD TO NEW!

Momma Cat has a room in her house that used to belong to her son.  In fact, it still holds many of his belongings! But, Momma and Daddy Cat are going to turn the room into a spare room with a foldout Sofa/bed, so that it's ready for company whenever someone comes for a visit.

The first step was new window treatments.  This is what the old curtains looked like.  Momma Cat made these curtains years ago, and even though they're still good, Momma wanted something new!

So here's where IKEA comes in!  Momma Cat saw these cat curtains at IKEA and she told Daddy Cat that she wanted to buy them to put in the spare room.  He said okay!  So, here they are!

The next step is to purchase a sleeper sofa, and figure out what to put on the floor.  But for now Momma Cat is happy.  One step closer to the goal!!!
