our new house ~ the bedrooms and baths

Our house has three bedrooms and (will have) three full bathrooms. Currently, there are two bedrooms on the front/road side of the house. One is a little bigger and has a bathroom in it with a shower, this is the bedroom the boys use because I needed more space to fit two beds, etc. Although they won’t be showering any time soon, they will have their own bathroom in their room. Collins uses the other bedroom on the front of the house, and then the hall bath is a full bath with a bathtub. Right now, that’s where EVERYONE bathes. The last bedroom is on the lake side and only had a ½ bath attached, well, of course Mikey and I wanted the lakeside view…so this is where we chose to turn the “Carolina” room into our bedroom (which was adjacent to the bedroom) and then turn the bedroom with ½ bath into a master bath and closet. So, three bedrooms, three full baths.

First up is Collins’ bedroom. It’s not huge, but it’s not tiny either…it’s got a decent closet and lets in a lot of light with the two big windows. The hall bath currently has a pedestal sink, eventually we will update this bathroom but that is not in phase one of the renovation budget. This will be the only bathtub in the house, right now it is perfect for bathing all three kids together. But, I would like to do new tile on the floor and get a vanity cabinet that has some storage.

This is the boys room…what they had labeled as the “master” because it has a full bath. But, definitely not a 2017 “master” by any definition. The closet is large for an old house, so we use it to store extra stuff and this bathroom definitely needs updating. But, right now we really only use it to brush the boys teeth… so that’ll have to wait as well.

Last, our bedroom. The first picture is the “Carolina” room that we turned into our master bedroom, we’ve already closed in that wall and framed out for a door. Then, the next picture shows the “bedroom”… we will literally split this down the middle and do closet on one side and bath on the other, leaving the existing potty closet in place and just removing the vanity that’s in the ½ bath. We aren’t doing a tub in our bath due to space…we probably could have crowded things and made it work, but I prefer a big, nice shower with a shower seat instead. Cannot wait to start on the bathroom!
