January 24, 2011 Mom Time

I’m done. They’re done. The HGTV final reveal…

I’m drained. Super drained. I’m sure having my house turned upside down, being seven months pregnant, potty-training a toddler, and not sleeping at night has nothing to do with it. I’ll try and come up with another excuse that will satisfy you, but in the meantime, I wanted to make sure you got a chance to see the finished product of our week-long “Green-over” courtesy of Green Works and HGTV stud Carter Oosterhouse.

We’re very glad to be back in our home, our new and improved eco-friendly home. I look forward to the many playdates in our new play room. I used to stress about the destruction a toddler can cause to a house. Now I know better. Toddlers got nothin’ on a film crew!

Below is the link to the final reveal. Disregard the TV cables in the playroom. Jon couldn’t wait for the final pics to be taken to get his hands on that TV!

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes last week! It meant a lot!

    Could this be a gift for you and your unborn baby during that time? But still, they have done it nicely for you, huh? Oh, by the way, congratulations on your renovated house.

    […] Remember that Greenover back in 2011?  When Carter Oosterhouse came and decorated my nursery and pl…?  We were the beneficiaries of many goodies during the Greenover, one of them being a Crate and Barrel Queen Sleeper-Sofa.  I remember on the day of the “big reveal” that they had to push it back by over half a day and the crew was mumbling something about a “damn couch.”  The significance of that moment was lost on me until…. Until we tried to get the damn couch out of the house. […]
