This is what you see when you look through our bedroom doors:
The picture has now been hung over the bed and the baby activity gym you see below is in another room, but you get the idea.
We love the space in this room and high, coffered ceilings. I'm not so crazy about all of the white. This is another room I want to paint. Paint just seems to warm up a room.
As you see below, I have some work to do on the curtains. I've found exactly what I want and know how I want to arrange the curtains. They're just SO expensive and I need 8 panels. On the windows to the right, the rods are already installed. I got a little ahead of myself, but at least I have the hardware I'll use. Hopefully, we will be able to get this done soon.
The windows on the left don't have the rods up yet, but I have them. They no longer liter the bedroom; I finally put them away in my closet until I get the curtains.
Pictured below is our dressing area. This is right outside of our closets by our bathroom. I LOVE this space. We already had the mirror, so I hung it in a way so that it serves well as our full-length mirror. It looks a lot better in person.
Along the wall you see where I hung a couple of robe hooks so I can set out our Sunday clothes once they're ironed. Recently, our church had Fan Day as an outreach to invite friends to church. We classed it up by wearing dressy clothes with fanwear touches. It was fun! I wish we'd had someone take our picture.
One addition I'd like to make to this room is a bench seat. By putting it along the wall on the right, we would have a seat close by to sit on as we put on our shoes.
These are our closets. Mine on the left; Matt's on the right. We both have lots of clothes. Unfortunately, mine don't all fit in one closet! Note to self: Weed out the clothes you don't wear.
Matt's closet is rather large. He is able to keep all of his clothes in one place. This picture doesn't do it justice. You can't see the built in shelves or the corners to the right and left. This is one of my favorite things about the house.
Since he gets ready to leave the house each morning for work or church, it made more sense for him to have all of his things in one place. It's also easier for me when I put things away. Since I buy his clothes, he also needs to see what he has! I love that there's room for our hamper in here too.
This is our bathroom:
Behind the door on the left is the shower, the vanity you see is mine, and to the right of the jacuzzi is the water closet. Matt's vanity is just beyond the door on the right. I love that the blinds lower from the top of the windows so we can enjoy natural light and preserve our privacy.
We regularly use the shower rather than the jacuzzi, but we hope to take advantage of that too at some point. If you haven't heard, when you're trying for a baby, it's best not to soak in a bath...either of you. So, for now, I simply have the pleasure of cleaning it ;)
Below is Matt's vanity and you see the door to the water closet as well:
The only thing I care to do in this room is paint it. In the long term, the very long term, I may consider putting in new counter tops.
While looking for the color granite I want in the kitchen, I saw a picture of a couple of bathrooms with granite or faux granite counter tops. I like the look. Especially if I never get around to painting this room, it would be nice to add some depth, dimension, and darker color to accent the room.
That completes the tour of our new home. As I make changes, I'll post some updates.
