The timeline for making a decision on this potential new abode has been moved back to Saturday, hopefully to give us time to work out all the kinks in the stucco and crawlspace repairs.
We are also going to go ahead and get us a home warranty for the major systems and appliances, which buys us a year before we have to think seriously about replacing the HVAC - we've been looking around at pricing, it can be pretty hefty.
That being said it's time for a tour of the upstairs lair of our potential new digs. (I think I might have some of the plan slightly off, like the 4th bed might be next to 2 not 3 - give me a break I was only here once for 30 mins max)
We have 2 ways to get up here - either via the back stairs from the Great Room, or up the more traditional front stairs off the foyer.
There are 4 bedrooms and a bonus room along with 2 full baths.
2nd Bedroom - Already a nice neutral grey, we might spice it up with some fabrics and accents. The room is pretty spacious, with a good size walk-in closet if I remember correctly.
Plans: This one will likely be Celeste's Room. Maybe change out the fixture (I have a feeling Celeste has inherited my disdain for ceiling fans in bedrooms). Paint the closet a fun color, add some stenciling for interest?
3rd Bedroom - Light and Bright, also with a good sized walk in closet.
Plans: Might be the new nursery for Puffling, we will likely do something similar to the last nursery since we enjoyed it so much (wide tone on tone stripes) or maybe something more fun with pattern. Certainly paint though, that yellow isn't doing it for me. Paint the closet a fun color, switch out light fixture.
4th Bedroom - The other option for the new nursery. It's a bit darker as it's at the back of the house, so maybe a better option. It's the smallest of the 5 bedrooms, however still more than sufficient in size.
Plans: Maybe switch out the light fixture
Bonus Room - (not pictured) a HUGE room with dormers! And so much potential!
Plans: Use as an upstairs playspace, or a sleep-over bunk room? Or install some bookshelves and a holodeck?
The Master - large, however not a complete waste of space for our lifestyle (we've seen some tremendous bedrooms in the last few months). I love the trey ceiling and the moldings - it just gives it an added level of sophistication.
Plans: Paint almost immediately - this reminds me of the vampire paint from our last home. We will also need to replace and raise the ceiling fan to fit with our bed. And replace that swag thing around the windows.
The Ensuite - Some updates have been already completed by the current owners - and while not completely to our taste - we can live with the updates and continue to work around them. There is a tiled shower, a sunken tub and 2 vanities.
Plans: Paint, frame out mirrors, replace vanities, update lighting.
I'm getting lots of ideas for all the cool stuff we can do with this house! And I don't even have pictures of the basement! There is a workshop, a media room, a full bath and a large open room down there...this house just goes on and on.
