I'm absolutely thrilled! I've been so stressed lately with the idea of moving. The house we're in is awesome. I love it. But should we be blessed with an expanding family any time soon, it would mean the walls of our house would become a tad snug.
We've been talking with our realtor in the chance that we stay in the area. That's what we're banking on now...staying in the area. We went and looked at that beautiful row house last week.
The thing is...
I don't want to leave this house. I just want more space.
I don't want to move from this exact location. We got in to this house at a great time. Mortgage rates were amazing. One family was looking at buying, their financing fell through, we jumped at it-it just worked out perfectly. I, we, couldn't ask for a better location.
We already have plans of remodeling the kitchen. We've already remodeled the bathroom.
And then I woke up in the middle of the night the other night with an idea....an idea that kept me from falling back asleep for quite some time...an idea that I met my husband with before he was ready to join the waking world...an idea that has.me.so.giddy!
Since we're going to be remodeling the kitchen and giving me lots of new cabinets and counters and appliances...I won't really have a need for the pantry that sits off to the side of the kitchen. It's sort of a cabinety pantry. Currently it houses the toaster, microwave oven, and our dishes. Oh yes, and the gigundus bag of dog food.
My idea is that we rip out that unneeded pantry and put in stairs. Yes! Stairs!! And finish off our walk-up attic. It's a huge attic. Just holding boxes right now...that I'm long overdue in sorting through.
It already has electricity wired, lighting wired, cable, windows, floor boards...I think it even has bathroomy type pipes... my gawd we.could.put.in.a.bathroom.up.there! So basically, it's all cosmetic work that needs to be done (aside from the bathroom fiasco that my Father-In-Law will probably hate me for).
I am thinking Master Suite, bathroom, and then Computer Room/Relaxing Area with built in storage/shelves, and cabinets. Oh yeah! And! A walk in closet in the master suite!
And the best part, is that my husband is so stoked about my idea that that's all he can think about!....which in turn is driving me nuts...but...
I'm.just.so.excited!

I'm with John! I love remodeling!!! Get crackin', Missy. And I love the pictures of your bathroom remodel, too. I see you went with the optional baby floor accessory in the finished picture. I have two of those myself and I love them to death. I also have the older, larger version, too, which I also love to death!!
