Michael's Room |
Michael's room was originally Spencer's Nursery, then
it was Cathy's Office, now it is Michael's Room. |
Originally there were French doors here that went into the
Master. We walled that up to make a 4th bedroom. |
Then Michael got bunkbeds
had those for a few years... |
Very messy and unkempt |
Things were getting out of control... |
But on Michael's 16th birthday
we gave him a room makeover! |
Clean lines and fresh paint... |
New artwork - all neat and tidy |
Michael ready for work... |
