Our House: Part Four~ Little man's room

The first bedroom to the left of the bathroom, is little man's big boy room. When we moved here, we knew that doodlebug would be using his furniture, so to make the transition easy, we started him on his new big boy furniture right away. He loves his room!

Photobucket
That is the door to his room from the hall. That dresser we bought with his new big boy bed. The drawers can all easily be opened by him and it holds so much!! Above the dresser, we have a magnetic board from IKEA that I love because it matches so well! The dinosaurs on his dresser are the ones we got from our visit to Dino World! The corner is a small reading area for him to read his Children's Bible {or Jesus book as he calls it}. The pelican is from IKEA and holds his stuffed animals. The wood cut on the wall, is the one daddy did of the two of them in Colorado.

Photobucket
His new bedding and curtains came from walmart.com {surprised? I was too!}. His big boy bed is called a captains bed. It is a platformed twin that has a trundle bed and 3 drawers underneath that. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bed! It is super tall off of the ground, and he hasn't fallen off once!

Canvas with fun letters that mama painted for little man

That piece of wood in the corner is his growth chart. We are going to do one for each child in a different stain and line them up in the hallway one day! This is his closet and fun hat rack from IKEA.

Our House: Part Three~ Bathroom

One of the biggest things on our "Con" list for this house, was the one and only bathroom. Unfortunately, almost every home in the area we were looking at has this same problem. Older homes have one bathroom- how they did it, we would soon learn! It really hasnt been that bad. I have a nice large vanity in the master that acts as my "second bathroom" and just having the one forces us to keep it super clean!

Entrance from the hall, just to the left of the formal living

This house has NO storage, so we had to get clever in the bathroom for linen solutions. This is a shelf from IKEA that we roll our towels, wash cloths and hand towels on! I actually love the way it turned out.

Photobucket
Notice the VERY 60's mirrored sliding medicine cabinets? Fun huh?! It is hard to tell with the photos, but the shower is a walk in shower that is HUGE! It easily fits me, daddy and little man and has a bench on each side! It is very different, and we love it!

Photobucket
We also purchased this storage cabinet to store our actual medicine and a few extra decorative towels.

This is the view of the hallway from the doorway of the bathroom- more to come tomorrow!

Our House: Part Two~ Formal living

When you walk in from the front door, the first room you enter is the formal living. This room doesnt get a ton of use, but does provide a nice reading area with tons of natural light. This room has our complete set up from our old apartment, with a few new additions here and there. 

Photobucket
This is the front door and the large set of windows you can see from the curb. I made the curtains myself from fun fabric via IKEA. That is the record player we used to have in our dining room that is one of our favorite vintage pieces. Also, you may notice we pulled a section of our sofa out to have an additional chair.

Photobucket
Yes, I am a germaphobe and perfer everyone take off there shoes at the door and place them in that basket you see on the left- we are a no shoes inside house {too many babies that like to crawl on the floor!} That welcome table is the one that was given to us for our wedding from hubbies aunt and uncle! The coat rack is new from IKEA and we love it! We no longer have a "coat closet" and since this home is older, closets are super small. This is a life saver. The little green chair is the "time out" chair ;-)  From here, the left takes you to the bathroom and bedrooms and to the right is the kitchen.

Photobucket
This is our lovely 1950's Drexel original sectional sofa! WE LOVE IT! The ottoman is still great storage for extra throws and blankets.

Photobucket
We moved the bookshelf in this room as well. It is a nice sized reading/formal living room!

Our House: Part One~ Outside front

We just recently moved into a lovely home and have since been begged encouraged to post photos. I thought I would post a room a day until our house is completely up on our blog for all to see! 

Today, I will start it off by showing you our home from the curb! It is a cute house built in the late 60's and with the huge addition is about 2,000sq ft. 3br/1bath/2 living

Moving...

Well we are officially moved in to our new house. We have all the boxes unpacked and most of the decorating done!! We still do not know what to do with space we have { 2 1/2 times bigger than our old apartment}, but we are adjusting nicely! Moving was especially difficult being 6.5m pregnant and having a 2.5 year old to take care of as well, but we survived.

It did take its toll on little man though!

He fell asleep while eating dinner...



... but adjusted nicely his first night in his BIG BOY bed!

He also showed a bit of delirium while coving up his mural in the old apartment.


So long apartment! You where the shelter we brought our first born home from the hospital to and where we created our little one on the way. Those walls saw a lot of milestones, and you served us well!

Show us your place~ Kitchen & Dining room


Kelly over at Kelly's Korner does a little segment each Friday to show where you live! I have hopped on the train a little late and probably wont stick to her schedule, but i will each Friday show you a different room in my house! We are in the process of house hunting, so we will be leaving our great little apartment of 3yrs soon! This is a great way for me to remember the place we brought our beautiful little man home to!

This week I will show you our small kitchen and dining room! Complete with appliances that look like they are from the 70's {and not in a good way} and everything opposite from what I would have in a kitchen if it was up to me, the kitchen is sure to disappoint. {lol} The dining room is actually nice and roomy and we find ourselves spending quite a bit of time in here!

Kitchen:


I love our fruit stand! {see my rooster? EVERY kitchen needs at least one rooster!}

tacky mom fridge- never thought I would see this day...lol



Dining room:



This is a vintage record player/radio and works! $15 at a thrift store= great find!!

This painting I found at Goodwill for $18!

This armoir holds all of our office goods!



Our table pulls out and seats 8! Great space-saver!


Thanks for stopping by to look! Check out the rest of our home by clicking the "Our Home" category!
