Same Address...New Home!

After three weeks of renovations, we are back home!  We spent an entire day moving all of our furniture from the living room to the bedrooms.  Although it was not quite as big as a physical move of location, it still was a BIG project.  I kept telling myself, "It will get worse before it gets better".  I felt like we were regressing as we continued to move things into the bedrooms and closets.  It has taken me about a week to get settled, and I still have some projects left, but we LOVE our new space.  We feel like we are living in a new house!  It is so much more functional than it used to be, and the best part is, we have DOUBLED our closet/storage space!  Pretty unbelievable!

This is our hallway view that is seen right when 

entering the house and looking down the hallway...

This is the entrance to Cale's room...

 This is the view from Cale's bedroom door...

This is the opposite wall in Cale's room.  I LOVE his new closet.  I was able to design it so that it was functional for a toddler and will grow with him as he gets older...

This is our new guest room.  This used to be the room we had to walk through to get to our room.  It once functioned as Cale's nursery.  It also used to house the washer and dryer in the closet.  Now, it's its very own stand alone, private room.  I am SO happy to have a room that does not have to be tromped through to get to our room!  It really turned out to be a great size too!

Here is one of many new closets.  This closet is in our hallway, and stores our linens, gift bin, vacuum cleaner, tools, and suitcases.  We had the shelves cut to perfectly store our suitcases.  L.O.V.E...

This is our bedroom entrance...

This is our bedroom from the corner...

 This closet is the the left corner of our room.  

It is currently being used as clothes/baby item storage...

Disclosure:  Our closet has been neglected and therefore, is not organized.  It is driving me crazy, but it is still functional, so it's on the back burner for now.  It has given us much more space, and for that I am thankful...

 This is the wall of canvas prints that hang in the hall by Cale's bedroom door.  

I love that it is the first thing I see when I come out of our room...

 Although we did not structurally change anything in the living room, I did get new curtains and a new armoire for our TV.  I'm planning to paint the armoire Robin's egg blue and distress it, so those pictures will be coming!

We didn't change the kitchen either, but we did get a new range.  We used to have an electric range, but we had the plumber run a gas line and now we have a gas range, that also has a double oven!  I know I'm going to love this!

 And now for my favorite addition...

I now have my own laundry room!  This might not seem like a big deal, but oh, it is!  I can access my "craft closet" through this room (I used to have to go into Cale's room to get to my crafts), and I was able to do something really fun and functional in this room.  I am going to put hooks along the chair rail that is right above the bead board, and use them to hang backpacks, coats, etc...  I will also be painting white chevron stripes on the gray wall sometime in the near future...  

So, that's the tour!  We could not be happier with the changes that were made!  We are so thankful that these changes will allow us to stay in this house for several more years, since we LOVE our neighborhood and our location!
