Wow! We are busy bees!

I thought I would get a chance to photograph our kitchen and dining area for you today. But, we chose to swim in the pool, walk the dogs, and mow the lawn instead. It was a beautiful day, and I decided to spend it with friends and my children. Good times! So...today, we will head upstairs to view the master bedroom and bathroom. Enjoy!
This is the view from entering our front door and looking up. There was once a log rail and this was previously an open loft. The previous owner worked from home and he used the loft as his office space. Wonderful, no doubt. Except there were only two real bedrooms and one bathroom for the entire sleeping floor. After consulting with our builder, we decided that we could put an addition over the formal dining room thus adding on a master bath and walk-in closet. Awesome! House sold! I didn't want to have one solid wall smacking me in the face everytime I looked up or walked in my front door. I decided that it would be best to add some windows -and natural light- to the master bedroom and still enjoy my view of the stars at night through the skylights. The windows are lined up with the skylights and couldn't be more perfect. My father-in-law, also known as Papa Joe in these parts, built the wall and made the windows to match the others in the home. I think Papa Joe did a bang up job!


This is what it looked like before the wall went up. My hubs and I decided that it wasn't (ahem) private enough. 
I have plans, baby. Big plans. Just you wait and see!
The master bath addition was completed before we moved in. Thank my lucky stars!


Two views of the master bath. Do you see that little lonely can in the corner? I am wondering why I left him there for the photo. Note to self: remove little lonely g-can when shooting a pic of the loo.


Thank you so very much for checking this out. I am so excited to be blogging about our home and everything to come. I am so pleased that you stopped by!
