The House - upstairs

Well, over the past 3 weeks, we have certainly seen a lot of the inside of our four walls lately!  I'm curious how long it takes other people to get in and get settled.  We are definitely not the type to push boxes aside and get to them later.  We are on a mission to CONQUER the house when we move in.  So, on to the results, for those that care... :)  These pictures honestly help a ton when we move from one place to another - helps us remember how things looked!

First up - upstairs.  The downstairs was in the midst of painting mania.  Pictures to come soon on that.

Just a note - we are supposed to be getting blinds soon.  I normally roll pretty well with things in a house, but I really hate the pull down shades.   

The Master Bedroom.  When these quarters were remodeled 15 years ago, they took what was 2 bedrooms and made it into the Master bedroom. So, needless to say, the room is huge.  Its nice to have a big room since we have a lot of furniture.  However, if I were building a house, a ton of floor space in the bedroom seems a little wasted.  Just to the left of this picture is a wall of 2 closets.  Again, something I wouldn't choose in a house because it consumes an entire wall, but the closet space is great.  Rugs are also a whole new realm we had to enter in the house!  The entire upstairs is hardwood and downstairs is either hardwood or ceramic tile.  I'm not good at buying rugs.  I'm not a fan of flowery designs or formal looking rugs, so our choices were limited.  All of the rugs we got came from Home Depot and we are happy with all of them so far!

Master Bathroom - behind the door there is a wall of built in shelves.  I honestly don't mind that it is only 1 sink - 1 less sink to clean! :) 

 

Addison's room - Since it is a $50 fee for each room we paint, I'm trying to reign in how much color I throw on the walls!  If I knew we would be in this house for 3 years, I wouldn't mind the money, but to pay $50 a room for 6-9 months, seems a little silly.  So I am holding back on painting the girls' rooms for now.  

I honestly can't believe we've had her bedding for this long.  In case you missed it, I'm not a fan of pink.  If we move the girls into one room with a bunkbed, this bedding will be the first thing to go. :) 

One of the best things about this house - the closets!  They are all HUGE.  Take a look...

This one closet is Addison's school room and my craft room. We have never lived in a house that you could put a desk in a closet! 

We have 3 weeks left of school!  We are excited to start Kindergarten at home in the fall! 

The girls' bathroom - much smaller than their last bathroom, but it works.  

Mya's Room

Mya's room looking back toward the hall

Just to give perspective, this is the view from the Master.  Mya's room and linen closet on the left, bathroom and school room on the right and Addison's room at the end of the hall.  

This is the view if you turn left out of the Master.  Another large closet on the left (luggage!) and then the stairs.  

That's the upstairs tour!  Downstairs coming soon!
