One bedroom, one bath???!!!

Not anymore folks! Our one bedroom, one bath is now officially a three bedroom, two bath house! We finished the rooms last Friday and spent Saturday cleaning and bringing up the furniture. Saturday night was the first night the kids slept in them (that means they were camping for exactly two months... better than the three we quoted them) and they could not have been happier to have beds.... real beds! There is a whole new kind of grateful around here! These are photos of the unfinished loft before...











At the top of the stairs we put an organizer with big roomy drawers and hooks for the kids to hang their coats and keep their hats, gloves and that sort of thing away from the front door. Then you turn left and there is an "entrance way" area between their rooms.









This is the girls room (the east side of the room)























The bathroom is "jack and jill" style with doors from both bedrooms so they will all share. We did chose to put a vanity in the girls room as well so that as they grow older they will not have to use the shared space for hair and make-up (yeah, my boys are going to love me for that later!).
























The Boys room (west side of the space).
























The slider has been screwed in and barred with solid wood. We are planning to replace it all together this spring with something that scares me less but I am confident that it is secure and safe for the time being and the view is absolutely spectacular!
















This concludes our tour... I hope you have enjoyed this episode of little cabin in the woods and we look forward to seeing you again soon (the master is next)!

The rooms look wonderful! You guys did a great job and I am sure the kids are really happy! When you are all done with your house, can you send Ben over here to do some work on my place?!? :)

WELL!! When you said you were enjoying keeping up with our family adventures, something in my head said, "Didn't Amy say she had a blog, too?" So I went to your FB page and voila! HOW MUCH FUN!! Look at you! You've always been such a cute, adventurous, and-now-we-must-only-watch-life-kids-but-taste, touch, smell, and listen-to-it-too kinda gal! Looking at your pictures and reading your posts makes me want more.

Love ya, Girl!!
