Bonus boys, bedrooms, bathroom... and throw in a front door, entry lighting...


Picking out flooring and shower tile for the basement bathroom and bedrooms we finished for Mahdi and Reza.

Reza could not care less about colors, bedding, or decor for his bedroom.

His one request was a big picture 
of the family over his bed.

Mahdi, on the other hand, had a master plan for his bedroom and wanted it to reflect his personal sense of style in every detail. He kept putting me off for bedroom pics, because he wanted to have things just perfect...
 ...he's so dramatic

😂😂😂

A couple weeks later, he told me he had a surprise....







knuckleheads 😍😜




The bathroom...






So, while we were at it, I realized that since our giant 8' tall wood door had to be refinished about every other year, and we'd spent thousands on it in the 9 years we'd been here... 


(Halloween)

... why not fix the money pit instead? And while we're at it, add some daylight to our entry? And get the door more to scale with our XL entry?

 
Rob's thoughts: don't spend money

My thoughts: but we ARE spending money on the door every other year just maintaining it. A fiberglass door wouldn't crack or need to be refinished, and we'd get daylight in the entry and curb appeal.

Rob's idea: don't spend money

My idea: But, Rob, a new front door, on average, increases the sale price of a home by 4%. Return On Investment = 96.6 percent.

Rob: Hmmmm.... (Rob's motto: Trust but verify....

Under construction...


(Granny likes the white exterior unfinished doors better)

We also updated the entry and staircase lighting



Nice? It only took 10 months 😱
But we love it 💗
