I've been meaning to update the blog with pictures of our house. I’ve mentioned this before, but I feel kinda stagnant in this house right now. We don’t want to put any more money into it, and I don’t want to make many decorating/furniture choices based on it. We know at most, we have a year left here…maybe less;-) It just doesn’t make sense to buy furniture/curtains/etc. based off of the dimensions of this house and its spaces. That being said, I am ready to get into a house I want to stay put for a while.
Anyways, I’ve got everything decently “done” in this house for now. By saying that, I mean I’m done spending money on it and the rooms at least look presentable. Of course, if we were going to stay here a while (or if money grew on trees) I’d put in new counters in our bathroom, switch out all of the brass, update the powder bath…new flooring upstairs…the list could go on and on. But, I’m not doing that. We can’t overspend and risk not getting our money back when it’s time to sell.
Enough rambling about my craziness….here are some before and after pics of the master bedroom and bath. Except for the lack of hardwood floors, and the last house had stainless fixtures in the bathroom…it looks pretty much the same. Oh, and we got a new bed. Which I love. I’m embarrassed to admit we JUST finally got our master bathroom painted. It was that horrid green for over a year and a half. SAY WHAT!?! Yeah. If you remember, we bought this house during the end of my pregnancy with the boys…then lived with my parents for a few months…and then renovated the kitchen and moved in this house with two week old twins, and a toddler. Yeah, it was total chaos. Mikey painted all of the upstairs bedrooms and we paid to have the entire downstairs painted. We always just thought we would paint our bathroom eventually. Well, I think after all of the initial craziness of painting, moving, renovating…we (Mikey) was OVER it. And, well…we were busy raising a 2.5 year old diva and TWIN boys. Our life was BUSY. (and still is for that matter). So we just never got around to it…I kinda stopped caring. But, then. We found an amazing painter who is SUPER reasonable and we got her to come paint the master bath and bonus room, the only two rooms in the entire house that hadn’t been painted. WELL worth the money. Wish we had found her sooner!

ReplyDeleteTHAT BED!!!! Gorgeous. All of it. I'm a sucker for this color - so good!
ReplyDeleteWhere's your bed from? I've probably looked at 200 now and can't commit!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a Paula deen furniture line. Google it... The dogwood collection.
