Home renovations, day 2

We decided to expand our master bedroom and build a walk-in closet. It seems like a DIY project we can actually do ourselves. 

First we had to clean out the extra bedroom on the other side of our closet. It was a tough job. The extra bedroom had turned into the "junk drawer" of the house. Next, I had to steam and scrape off the wallpaper border. If I never have to do that again it will be too soon. Every single room in the house had some kind of wallpaper when we moved in. Yesterday we did all the prep work and bought the materials. Today we are putting up the walls for the new closet. Now, let me stop here and say that my other half is notorious for not putting things away...thus, everything is always lost when he needs it. Today it's been both of the tape measures, the new box of blades for the utility knife and the drill. Today's progress has been slow. But that's ok because in between he's been cleaning up!! 

We don't usually work we'll together so this has been a nice project so far.
