Well, folks, we are back today with a before tour of the second floor of our new to us townhouse.\u00a0 If you want to see a before tour of the first floor, go here.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>The second floor has three bedrooms and two baths and a laundry closet.<\/p>\n

The Townhouse Landing<\/h2>\n

This shot is taken on the landing at the top of the stairs.\u00a0 This landing is going to be enlarged, and the railing, newel post, etc. will be replaced.\u00a0 This one isn’t too sturdy anymore. \u00a0 As you look out at the window, you can see a lot of wasted space.\u00a0 We are going to add a loft there that will be accessible from the master bedroom.\u00a0 A doorway will be cut into the wall there on the top left.\u00a0 The loft will be my office.\u00a0 It won’t be huge because I don’t want to give up all of the airiness we get from having a two-story foyer. It will be large enough for a desk and possibly a small reading chair. \u00a0 That being said, I realize that there’s a lot of wasted space that could be put to use in the form of a larger loft, but like I said, I don’t want to give up the light and space.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Master Bedroom<\/h2>\n

The master bedroom in the townhouse doesn’t need a lot of work.\u00a0 We will be painting it, refinishing the floor, converting the fireplace into gas logs, adding plantation shutters and probably reconfigure the entry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

As far as the master bathroom and closets go, it’s a whole other story.\u00a0 Right now it is like a rat’s maze, and is a jumbled mess with turns and crannies that just aren’t acceptable.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I don’t have a clue how to reconfigure it, so we told our architect that he can design it however he wants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

I also requested it to have at least one walk-in closet for me and a regular closet for Mr. Right.\u00a0 A walk-in closet for him would be even better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

\u00a0 We also want a bathroom with double sinks, a large shower, bidet, and a laundry room – not a laundry closet like this one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

Oh, and a make-up area would be nice, too. \u00a0 I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guest Room Number 1<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is one of the guest bedrooms.\u00a0 It’s a nice size and remind me of Jordan’s room in our last house.\u00a0 It will get fresh paint, refinished floors, plantation shutters, and new closet doors that are not bi-fold.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

Guest Room Number 2<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This guest bedroom will become a nursery.\u00a0 Baby Girl will have a crib in here along with a changing area and a comfy chair.\u00a0 Then it can be used by future grandbabies, also.\u00a0 It, too, will get new paint, shutters, and refinished floor.\u00a0 Plus, there’s a door into a bathroom that will be removed and dry-walled.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

Guest Bath<\/h2>\n

This bathroom will be reconfigured, too.\u00a0 The vanity will shrink and the wall will be removed.\u00a0 The toilet will be moved beside the sink, and a new tub will be moved in three feet.\u00a0 That will give our master bath, which is behind the tub wall, an additional three feet of width (approximately 24 square feet) to use.\u00a0 The only tub in the house will be in this bath so that the grands can use it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s the second floor of the townhouse for you.\u00a0 Even though they aren’t visible or pretty to look at right now, things are happening.\u00a0 The electrician, plumber, roofers, kitchen designer, architect, new window guy, and demo guy are all at work planning, ordering, wiring, etc.\u00a0 All of the cabinets will be removed today by the Habitat Restore.\u00a0 They have a crew that will come in and remove everything that we are giving them for free.\u00a0 That is such a savings because we won’t have to pay a crew to remove them.\u00a0 The Restore crew knows how to remove things so they won’t be damaged.\u00a0 Everyone wins!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n
