Bedrooms & Baths

Master Bedroom 

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the "bedrooms & baths" of our former house.  The picture above is of the Master Bedroom.  The bedroom itself was quite small in square footage, but the attached en suite was spectacular.  

The bedroom before was covered floor to ceiling in plywood box cabinets.  You know...you can never have enough storage in your master bedroom.  Maybe I should install some cabinets in my new bedroom.  I could have a spot for extra batteries, egg cartons, old newspapers, clothes pins......the possibilities are endless!

En suite

And the attached en suite.  His and hers vanity areas, open shelving, giant soaker tub, french doors leading out onto a deck, walk-in European shower, walk-in closet and private laundry facilities (not shown), to the right down a small hallway between the tub and toilet facilities.

The "BEFORE" master bathroom.  Pretty enticing, I know.  Hard to believe we felt the need to remodel, right?  Oh and by the way, this was before we had actually started work.  The bathtub plumbing was indeed missing before we even bought the house.  Where did it go?

The former master bathroom was removed, and opened up into the former kitchen area.  To the left you can see the french doors, which are now in front of the soaker tub.

Children's Bath

During Construction

The new bathtub is actually housed in the location stolen from the former master bedroom closet.

Good Bye House

I thought I should report that we have sold our fixer-upper, and bought a house in a new neighborhood.  The house went through a MASSIVE renovation, turning it from a 1970's Split Level, into a charming Craftsman Cottage.  We LOVED the house by the time we were done with the renovation, and have always loved the neighborhood, so it was definitely a tough decision to sell.  In the end, it just seemed like the right time to make the move.  We have been in the new house a few months, and are working on a lot of projects here too, so as things take shape, I will try to post the progress.  In the mean time, here are some pictures of the Split Level - turned Cottage, right before we said goodbye last fall.

Part One: Exterior and Main Living Areas.

Part Two pictures with bedrooms and baths will follow another day.

Hope you are having a lovely spring!

School Bells Ring

So because of the way the district planned the calendar this year, our summer really actually is shorter than usual, but honestly, it feels like we didn't have a summer break at all!  I don't even feel out of practice for making lunches, tripping over backpacks, and pushing aside the papers that start piling up on my kitchen counter.

A little first morning hot breakfast!

 And Lucy in spongy rollers....

 It is more quiet during the day, and the past two days I have already found it MUCH easier to get my work done.  So I guess school starting isn't all bad.  My two elementary-ers looked adorable on our walk to the "First Day Flag Ceremony".

  And I am SOOOO proud of Cameron.  He looks great in his new Vice President Sweater.  

I put up a few "Back to School" items on the mantel.  

I am working on a back to school bunting....more on that to come.

Before we know it, Halloween will be here!
