Last week my family had an idea.

Four days later we experienced the impossible.

Story and pictures in the thread for those interested in my non-business related fun.

I had a thought, surprise my son with a bit of a room re-do while he was gone dog-sitting for 4 days.

You see our daughter moved out, so he thought her room made a nice laundry station (read: place to dump clean clothes you don't feel like folding).

Mom (that's me) had other ideas for the space.

So I pitched a simple idea to my daughter and husband.

"Let's deep clean and move some stuff around. See what's laying around in the garage."

Keep it simple.
No need to go through all his stuff.
It's personal, ya know.

In an interesting turn of events, they not only loved the idea, they did that thing where you run with it.

"Let's make a theme" daughter said.

"Yeah and put in new floors" hubby said.

"For the love of God, we've got 3 days" the only voice of reason explained.

Apparently that was just the challenge those two needed for an HGTV style makeover.

🦶 1 broken toe from a paint can

He was shocked and every day this week he's made his bed.

That alone is a worth all the back pain in the world.

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing Stacey. Looks like it was indeed worth the back pain I'm definitely not this handy 😅
