House Tour, Day 3

We have a ground-floor master in this house. It wasn't something we were looking for, and it's not ideal with little babies and having to run upstairs in the middle of the night, but it is a decent space. Wes and I have a king bed that just fits with a night table on the far wall. We got a dresser and nightstand from his parents that are a bit traditional for our tastes. Wes's mom, who is a whiz at refinishing furniture, tried her hand at the night table, but the stain was uncooperative. We're either going to live with them as they are for a while or possibly paint them and change the pulls to win a few years before possibly getting something new. Our plan right now is to have our master closet done to optimize space there and then get one big armoire for the bedroom for additional storage. Wes wants some kind of hope chest at the bottom of the bed, too, which we could use for out-of-season clothes or sweaters or extra linens. We also have a pretty painted table that has nowhere else to be and goes nicely in our bedroom. Unfortunately, it looks a bit out of place and serves no real function.

The paint in the bedroom needs retouched, but I'm perfectly happy with the color. The bathroom is nice, but it's no laid out well. There's virtually no storage and very limited space for two people to be at the sink at the same time. The tub is nice, though not used often, and we're fighting mold pretty hard in the shower stall.

And no, I'm not worried about my vacuum being alone at night. There's just nowhere else to put it!
