New House - Part 3

Ok, thanks for sticking with me on this 4 part tour of our 'new to us' home.  We close next Thursday and begin moving in right away.  Hopefully we will spend our first night at the new home next Saturday evening, keeping our fingers crossed.  Well, as promised, today I will be showing you the rest of the main floor.  (three bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms)  Tomorrow I will cover the entire lower level (or basement area). 

So here goes...just a little bit about the layout of the space first.  This photo was taken standing in the family room (the foyer is to my right and the TV is too my left...family room and kitchen are behind me).  The first door on your left is the guest bathroom, then a linen closet and far left (at the end of the hall) is the master bedroom and bathroom.  There is another linen closet at the end of the hallway and then coming down the right side (back towards me) is the bedroom that will be my home office, then the guest bedroom and the door closest to you on the right is the door that leads to the lower level. 

List of thing to do for this area include:
*paint the entire hallway the same color that I have chosen for the family room
 
 
Guest bathroom:  

List of things to do for this area include:
*replace window treatment
*build/install a frame for the mirror (make it look custom)
*pick out paint color and repaint (this won't be right away)
*New bath rugs and shower curtain
 
 
Master Bedroom: 


List of things to do for this area include:
*pick a paint color and repaint
*remove current curtain rods and rehang them higher and replace curtains
*at some point, remove the carpet and replace (with what we are not sure yet? Husband likes carpet in the bedroom but I may be leaning towards hardwood and a large area rug...this is a future project anyway so that gives us time to decide)
 
 
Master Bathroom: not a very big space but it is doable.  It does have a window to your right but it doesn't show in the photo that I have here. 

List of things to do for this area include:
*replace window treatment
*repaint
*eventually change out the mirror/medicine cabinet that is currently in there
 
 
Guest Bedroom: 

 
List of things to do for this area include:
*replace carpet eventually (large stain-hopefully Stanley Steamer can get it out before we move in)
*remove current curtain rod and rehang higher and replace curtains
*repaint
 
 
Bedroom that will be my home office: 


List of things to do for this area include:
*remove current curtain rod and rehang higher and replace curtains
*Remove the closet doors and create a desk/storage area that is open to the rest of the room (probably store all of my scrapbook supplies in here out of sight)
*repaint
*eventually replace the carpet
*build/create some type of storage unit that can organize scrapbook/office supplies neatly and concealed
 
 
 
Well, there you have the remaining spaces of the main floor.  This floor has right at 1900 sq ft and will mainly be occupied only by my husband and me.  This gives us plenty of space to spread out and not feel cramped in our living space. 
 
Now tomorrow I will show you the lower level which is actually a house unto it's self.  Our son Matthew and his wife Allina (with little Kylie on the way) will be living in this area.  I can't wait to show you that space tomorrow.
 
Thank you for stopping by and have a very blessed day,
Cherri
