Our bedroom is on the opposite side of the house from the kid's bedrooms (and no we don't have kid's but we built them with the hopes they would be for our kids someday). We decided to put the master bedroom behind the garage, because then that way we would hear if the garage door opened. 1. because my husband is always thinking someone is breaking in. 2. because if we ever had kids we wanted to make sure we could hear them coming and going. 3. because the dogs room is the mudroom and that way they would be closer to our room (yes, I do realize I sound like a freak when I want the dogs closer to me than our future children). Although, I must say we bought the quietest garage door opener so we can't actually hear it from inside the house anyways! And this way the master is also closer to the basement, which is again so we can keep a close eye on our kids (for in the future when we finish the basement), plus that's Mark's area of the house.
We have the same furniture as we did in our old house. But we were able to put the 42" TV in our room now, which will probably someday be hung on the wall.
I love that Marley is in all of these pics too :)
The comforter, sheets, and pillow were all new for this house. We had a beautiful set in our old house, but Marley chewed a hole through it as a puppy so we needed something new. The pillow is my favorite because it actually has sparkles in the material. The bedside tables will eventually have to change. We tried to buy a matching one to the one we already have, but they no longer make it, so we will have to find something new. The lamp shade on Mark's side of the bed is actually broken, a door actually fell on top of it, so I will be looking for some new lights too.
The closet doesn't have a door yet, but it is ordered.
I love our huge closet! At our old house we had to always switch out our clothes for the seasons, and in WI that is nearly impossible to do. It's nice that everything finally fits in one place. The guy that hung our closets hung everything wrong so the clothes on the top sit on the rack for the clothes on the bottom. Not cool!
But at least we can still use them until they are fixed.
Things that still need to be done:
- paint door, trim and step for doggies
- curtains
- bedside tables
- lamps
- hang some photos on the wall
- art?
- fix closet racks
- door for closet
