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!


Here's my dad's drawing of what it'll look like ... the toilet is already there and so is the closet beside it he has labeled as shelves. 

Happy hump day!

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...

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...

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...
