Wow! It’s great to read all the comments about the post<\/a> my mom published yesterday. \u00a0I agree 100 percent and am not even thinking of Christmas. \u00a0Heck, I am having a hard time thinking of fall.\u00a0 It has been so crazy with our move <\/a>and vacation<\/a> and the adoption<\/a> paper work. Things are moving along here at our new house, and I’m ready to show\u00a0 you the before photos of our upstairs. If you missed the first floor photos, you can see them here<\/a>. While the first floor has been completely painted (every wall, ceiling, and molding) nothing as been done to the upstairs yet. Let’s get to the tour.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

This is the master bedroom, and it is filled with windows which are really nice. \u00a0This time around we have his and her closets that will eventually be organized.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The room is really long, and do you see those French doors? Well, there’s something amazing behind them.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This picture is from the MLS listing, but you can see there’s a balcony leading from the bedroom. \u00a0We just love it, and once we get furniture, I am sure we will enjoy this additional outdoor space. \u00a0We had a cute bistro set as shown in the pictures, but somehow it was destroyed in the move.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This made the move worth it.\u00a0 We have gone from a house with a single full bath to our own bath en suite. \u00a0Our old bathroom<\/a> was fine and comfy for the two of us, and we would have made it work with Little Miss, but\u00a0 I love having our own bath. \u00a0It was great when family was visiting last week to have more than one shower. \u00a0This bath is actually huge. We think it is about the size of the Florida room<\/a> in our last house.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I know a lot of people like the look of a claw foot or soaker tub, but I love this tub. It is like my own hot tub. \u00a0Do I love the style?\u00a0 No, but I love the relaxing spa feel.\u00a0 It will be much better after the room is painted and decorated.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

We have two additional bedrooms upstairs.\u00a0 They are both the same size, but this one has a better closet. \u00a0We decided this will be great for Little Miss. \u00a0The room was filled with these stickers so after peeling them off, I had a little touch up to do. \u00a0The rooms are on the small side, so a twin bed (day bed) will be in this room. \u00a0I have been looking at paint colors, and I really can’t wait to do our daughter’s room.\u00a0 Being busy helps with the wait, and even though we are adopting, I feel the nesting urge big time.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is the other bedroom which will be the guest room. \u00a0We will eventually put two twin beds in this room. \u00a0Since it is small,\u00a0 we thought we could work more with twin beds versus\u00a0 a queen.\u00a0 It gets great morning light.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This was the only room in the whole house that was not beige, and I was thrilled. \u00a0We were going to keep it till we peeled off the stickers, and some of the drywall started to come off.\u00a0 So this room will also be painted.\u00a0 We might keep the blue ceiling if we can clean off some smudge marks on the ceiling. \u00a0I mean at this point, what is another ceiling to paint?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This will be the bath for Little Miss and our guests. \u00a0It has everything you need. \u00a0My parents removed the shower door and put up a shower curtain and rod.\u00a0 It will make it much easier to help our little girl with her baths. Removing the glass doors made a huge difference and will definitely make bath times easier.\u00a0 The floor is a neutral tile that we like because it will match anything and everything and will be very durable.\u00a0 Eventually we will change out the lights in the bathrooms and possibly paint the cabinets.\u00a0 That’s down the road, though.\u00a0 This might be our forever house so we have lots of time to make changes and improvements.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I thought I would leave you a sneak peak of the first room that we painted. \u00a0This is where it all started – the dining room, and you can see a huge difference in the white is versus the cream. \u00a0That was only the first coat, and I love how fresh our entire first floor now feels. \u00a0Eventually, the upstairs will get there. \u00a0I hope you enjoyed the rest of our house tour. \u00a0I love our home and neighborhood and still can’t stop smiling.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you so much for reading our blog.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Cheers!<\/h3>\n
