master bed and bath: before and after

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!

Pretty amazing what a can of paint can do!

Happy Friday, friends!

    Where's your bed from? I've probably looked at 200 now and can't commit!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
