So we are having trouble keeping up on our posting with all the nasties running through both of our families so I will borrow this post from Molly's personal blog to keep the momentum up a little bit! - Meredith

Never, ever, in my wildest dreams would I have thought at 18 years old that this would excite me the way it has. You decide how excited you would be:

Together, Andy and I ripped out our Powder Bathroom and built a food storage room! It only took about 6 trips between 4 different hardware stores to get it done. Sealing off the toilet hole seemed to be the hardest thing. It was imperative that it be sealed off correctly so as to not leak sewage gasses into the room. This type of project is not something people do very often apparently. Start to finish, we were done in 6 days. That was with a 2 day break between finishing the construction and painting. I am pretty proud of what we did, we make a very good team!
A funny story... You'll notice in the above pictures that Andy is using a shop vac to drain the toilet. I, along with my oldest son, was standing behind the
vacuum part when suddenly my son said poop water was coming out. Sure enough the vac was spraying our feet and legs and it stunk pretty bad too! Not sure what was up with that.

Painting in progress

The finished product, not perfectly organized yet, but it's a start. I didn't take a picture of it, but we put our freezer where the sink used to be.
This is my kitchen pantry which now has a lot more space than it did before.
(Although I just realized this picture was taken during the reorganization so it doesn't actually have that much bare room but it is very organized now) I am so excited to have so much storage room. My master bedroom closet no longer has to serve as my second pantry as it did in my old house! It's a good thing too because our current master closet is quite a bit smaller.
Don't worry... we have another bathroom just down the hall, this one was a little pointless.
So... Next time you need a bathroom turned into a
storage room, we're now experts!
What space do you have in your home that should be turned into something else so you are getting every penny out of your square footage?

Oh I have a dining room that needs to be turned back into a nice dining room, instead of my craft/floral arranging room! There are several other little spaces in the house that could use some tweaking, it's just those pesky finances that always get in the way. Thanks for sharing this!

I find this to be very exciting! Molly inspired me to have my downstairs walk-in closet converted by the end of the year.
I love what Molly did!
Molly,
I absolutely love your blogs. I totally live vicariously through your Tuesdays with Molly since both of my cute sisters live in Utah. Anyway, you both totally inspire me with your cute projects. And I LOVED the enrichment of black & yellow with all the lemons...sooooo cute! Thanks for sharing!
