House tour- Bedrooms.

We have lived in our new house for almost two years, so it's about time to get these house posts done! Thankful for how this house has worked so well for our family and to still be in the same neighborhood (we moved a few houses down from our old house). Our house was built in 1962, but was flipped almost entirely in 2021. It was super great to buy it with many major projects completed already. The family we bought the home from had bought it from the flippers, then lived there for two years and moved, so we bought it in June 2023.

Here are some pictures of the bedtrooms on move in day. There are three bedrooms on the main floor- master, Norah's room, and Lucy and Ellory's room.  The picture below is Lucy and Ellory's room. The room has two closets, so that works out nicely that they can each have a side! Each of the girls rooms also has a built in desk, so we put Norah's desk from our old house in here also, so Lucy and Ellory each have their own desk. That works out nicely for room sharing that they can each have their own closet and desk! 

In our old house, they were sleeping in full beds (which were their cribs that converted into beds), but unfortunately those didn't fit into this room, so we got a cheaper bunk bed for them. When they are older and probably get their own rooms, we will look into a bedroom set for each of them, but for now this works nicely!

Norah's room. She also has a built in desk and a nice size closet. Both of their rooms only had a rod in the closet, so we did put in some shelving units in their closets and I'm so glad we did. It makes the space much more usable and functional.

Here is what the bedrooms look like today. I know the lighting isn't incredible, but I just needed to snap them and move on! I kept waiting for the "picture perfect" moment to take house pictures, but when is that? So I just decided to go for it one day. Here is Norah's room below.

The girls' bathroom. We did replace the vanity in this bathroom and I'm so glad we did. The old one had been painted and had a new counter, but we didn't love the flat rectangular sinks and the vanity was original, so the drawers didn't work well and smelled musty. We are enjoying the new one.

Here is a before picture of the bathroom from the listing when we bought the house. It was certainly fine and we could have lived with it, but the new vanity is really nice to have it be fresh and the new mirror/light fit our taste more.

Our room- we love it!

Here are a few pictures of what the bedrooms looked like prior to the remodel, so before 2021.

This used to be Norah's room. We actually know who owned the home at this time and they go to our church. They are a great couple. She did ventriloquist shows and library readings with her dog, so it fits with her personality that the bedroom wall would look like this! So fun and thankful we get to know them!

There actually used to be four bedrooms upstairs, and this bedroom is no more- they enlarged the master and this bedroom is now the master closet and bathroom.

This used to be the master- it used to have a half bath, and I think the other side was a closet? So they opened up those spaces to make the room bigger and then added the new closet and bathroom off the other side.

So fun to learn the history of our rooms- we are so thankful for it!
