Our cozy little nest

We rearranged our bedroom over the weekend. We live in a strange house. We’ve got close to 4500 square feet and yet the house only has 3 bedrooms. They’ve not even huge bedrooms. Or rather, they’re huge bedrooms, but they’re laid out in such a way that you can’t fit normal furniture in them. We have one bedroom that would be 350 sq ft if it wasn’t for the attic staircase that cuts into it, basically cutting it into 2 useless rooms.

Our plan is to eventually move that staircase and open up that bedroom to have as a master suite – there’s a bathroom connected to it as well as a HUGE walk-in closet. But it’s going to be a while before we get to that.

Our current bedroom is actually 2 rooms. You walk into the bedroom, then step up into another room. We’ve had our bed in the smaller room since we moved in, but we’ve both just been unable to breath – it’s carpeted (and the carpet needs to be replaced badly), and it's just too closed in - between the carpet, dust and dog (who sleeps with us), we both wake up with horrible sinus headaches. So we switched the bed into the dressing room (which has hardwood floors) and the dressers into the bedroom. It’s SO much more comfortable now. I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner.

We spent all day Sunday just lounging around in our new room….we’ve never done that since we’ve lived here. It felt so luxurious – like hanging out in a fancy hotel. Can’t wait to one day have our master suite, but the old one just got much better to live with until then.
