OUR BEDROOM & HALF BATHROOM
pros:
- lots of natural light (3 windows!)
- wall color is nice and works with our quilt
- it's a large room
- has 1/2 bath
- large closet
- ceiling fan
- we already had curtains that worked in this room. (they might not all be the same color...but we are working with a very limited budget here.)
- toilet used to sound like a fire siren when it flushed. then someone (who shall remain nameless, but it's the only person who attempts to fix toilets in this house...and that's not me) tried to fix it the other day and dropped our screwdriver down while it was flushing. as of wednesday, we have a brand new toilet!
cons:
- this room also houses the furniture that we couldn't fit in the rest of our house (basically, all the furniture that used to be in our dining room minus the table and chairs).
overall thoughts:
- this is my favorite room in our house. even though there is extra furniture and even though the toilet sounded like a fire siren, it is a really nice room that feels relaxing to me. i enjoy keeping this room clean and also toy free.
oh, and by the way, i LOVE having everything on one level in our house! while i wouldn't mind a basement for storage/extra space (no one here has basements), i am totally going to go for ranch style houses from now on. it is so much easier to keep clean this way! it's also easier with little ones to not have to take them up and down stairs all the time. so...that's a win (i kinda knew it would be)!
LOVE your little house. It's so cute. It's nice to see that you're settling in and finding your space. Is the cockroach problem over? I sure hope so. It's possible that they were already there while the house was on the market? Can't wait to see the kids' rooms next! Do you also have a backyard?

thanks! it is easy to make this house cute - it already was cute! as far as the cockroaches... we had the house sprayed about three weeks ago and have hardly seen any since. the spray doesn't repel them, it just kills them if they come in, or get too close to the outside of the house. we have found a few (maybe 4?) dead/dying ones in the house since he sprayed. the guy who sprayed said that the ones we have had in our house aren't the kind that infest the house, they just wander in occasionally. he said that they have been worse this year because it has been raining tons. unfortunately, there is really no way to completely avoid ever having a cockroach in your house here (everyone has this problem!) because there are just so many of them. i have a new friend who lives in a third floor condo and she said that she even gets them in her place! seeing an occasional cockroach in your house is just part of life here, but at least it is better now that we sprayed.
