Come on in a little further......... 02/21/2010
I don't think I showed you the office, bedrooms and bathroom. Come on in and have a looksey........  After you pass our entry, make a left and come down our very loooong hallway. The first door on the left is our bathroom with tub and sink. The second door is our closet......I mean, it is where our toilet sits and I will not post a picture. Everyone has seen a toilet before.....   Walk a little further down another hall and you will walk right into our office. We were going to turn it into a playroom but we really do need a small office and the kids are doing just fine playing in their bedroom. Who knew?    Walk past the office and down the hallway and it will spill out into our bedroom...... I am not sure what to do with it just yet. We have a huge armoire on one side of the room and then Ikea furniture fills the rest of the room. I am not happy with it and need to search the flea markets for some goodies to make it our own. We look out onto another apartment building behind us and down below is a big courtyard.  If you take a left from our bedroom, you will walk "sideways" down a narrow hallway into a small room with a shower and sink and off to the right is the kids room. The hallway is narrow because the landlord installed a closet which was needed and the extra storage is invaluable. It is worth the narrow pathway to the kids room. Sophie put her hopscotch on the floor. I like her style!    The shower is "Dan's bathroom", it is the size of a small closet and this is where my man get's ready everyday without any complaints. It is right next to the kids bedroom. It is probably about 4 x 4 feet.  Excuse the toys scattered throughout but Max always has something in the works. I brought their comforters from home along with some of their pictures that were on their walls in Texas. It's a bright room and very quiet. This is where our guests will sleep. Ha. We have an airo bed for the office that the kids will sleep on and then whoever visits will be sleeping under a racecar or kitty comforter. Hey, it's a free!

What do you think about the toilet being separate from the bathroom? Is the room really like a closet? Aprile Sun, 21 Feb 2010 08:51:17 Isn't it just amazing how the rest of the world lives. We are so overstuffed and huge walk-in closets and wide opened hallways. Just to be cozy and comfy is all we really need. It really is a good size apartment, I love all the light and colors are so enviting! Your doing a great job making it a nice home for your beautiful family! Hugs Laura Schmidt Sun, 21 Feb 2010 09:38:26 Thank you for sharing your home, it is just charming. After seeing the touches you added in your kitchen, I'm sure you will find the perfect items for your bedroom to make it a warm cozy space. Melanie Duncan Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:48:14 I love it! It's just perfect. Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:51:22 I like your home! It looks like it has a ton of light. The hallway might drive me crazy, but as you said the extra storage in the closet I think would make up for it. The food at the market makes me jealous. Isn't it great to eat strawberries that taste like strawberries. Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:30:44 It looks lovely and inviting. It seems so warm and full of light. Not sure if that is all the windows or clever use of colour inside. I think it will make a lovely home for your family over the coming months. Shelly Mon, 22 Feb 2010 03:08:56 I love it. It looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing. How are the kids doing with sharing a bedroom? So happy that you are so settled in with everything in its place. Way to go! aunt sally Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:41:58 your home is divine!! lovvvve sophie's hopscotch, all the light, the colors, all your touches that say home. it's amazing what we can do without, living simpler in some ways can make your life richer!!
