Moving Furniture...Again.

Alrighty, then. Yesterday was spent moving furniture around in the house...again. But this time the kids knew it was happening. :) I decided to make the under-utilized "book" (bonus-type) room into the master bedroom, give AJ the smaller, current master so she can have her own bathroom (it's frankly a little cramped for a master bath, if you ask me, but as a secondary or "junior" master room, it works). Then her old room can be a guest room.

Hint, hint! :)

Here is the result of the move, yesterday. Today has been spent finding a place for everything. I'm not finished, but it's getting there... The door next to the curtained door is the bathroom.


There's no closet in this room, so I'm using a bookshelf, temporarily. For a short term stop-gap, I'm going to get a portable closety-thing. Assuming I buy the house, in addition to having a shower put in the bathroom (it's just a powder room, now) I'll probably have both sets of bookcases turned into matching closet spaces, making it an actual master bedroom.


I really like the bed under the large window, like an extended headboard. The only thing is, I have to make sure I make the bed every morning, because it directly faces the door everyone goes in and out of. :)


There's still this whole wall of built-ins, so even giving up the other shelving, there's still storage and book/display area in here... I debated on whether to bring my desk in here, but the "breakfast" room/study/pc room directly outside (seen to the right), is much more spacious without my desk taking up the 3rd wall (4th wall is all a storage closet). Plus, if I do need to work at my desk, I can close the door, etc...

My desk used to sit against this wall, closing this room in. Try to ignore the piles on the table; eventually, that table will be a scrapbooking station...

...and the computer can still sit here. Note the plate on the floor from when the Pug got loose and THEIFED the boy's plate of grapes off of the coffee table. We rescued the grapes, but the plate went missing. Found it!

Here's the family room in it's current configuration, which is about the 6th or 7th. I think this is the winner, though. Several people can watch a movie together, or be able to chat. There's also a small area behind the sofa for JT to play, or color, etc...

Here's the front room, which has been tweaked a few times, as well. I think this is how it will stay for the foreseeable future, though. Dig those white walls! If I buy this place, I'm just going to have to paint! I don't do white walls!

That white chair was in my room, before, but this corner kept bugging me. I tried a table, I tried a tv, I tried a plant, but nothing worked. This little reading-corner set up feels right. It's a nice place to sit, away from the rest of the house.

You can see the dining room beyond this. I have never had a formal dining room, so it's a little weird for me. Haven't USED it, yet, but I very much hope to! :)
