House tour part 2: The upstairs, before & phase 1

If you read my last post, you'll know Matt and I are decorating the house in stages. (Okay, it's mostly me, but he helps with manly stuff like hanging shelves ginormous mirrors so I have to give him some credit.) Anyway, last post I showed you the downstairs. Today it's the upstairs, minus my closet, because that deserves an entire post of it's own, don't you think? I do.

This one has a lot of photos, so I'm just gonna delve right into them. When you go up our stairs, immediately on your right is the bathroom:






That little doorway next to the claw-foot tub (squee!!!) is my closet. More on that later. Anyway, when you come out of the bathroom, you're greeted by this hallway. It's the only thing in the house that hasn't changed since we moved in.


The first room on your left is our spare room. It's mostly Matt's "jam room," if you will, but it's also where we house overnight guests. Our last place didn't really have the space for a "guest room," even a part-time one, so I'm pretty excited about this. I'm sure our sisters, brothers-in-law and various out-of-town guests are pretty stoked, too.






Finally, at the end of the hall, is our room. A little smaller than our last bedroom, actually, but still pretty sizable. Matt's happy that his closet is in the same room he sleeps in again. (In the last place, I kicked him out of the bedroom closet and took it all over for myself. He got the smaller closet in the spare room, which then served as a tiny office/jam room.) No pics of his closet because...well, it's a boy closet. You get the idea. He doesn't even fill it. Blasphemy.






So there you have it! I hope to have the closet photos ready for tomorrow, but we'll see. There are a lot of them. I really, really love my closet. #sorrynotsorry

And speaking of ridiculous use of hashtags, this is kind of hilarious. You're welcome.
