I wish we went hiking more often. That's all. I wish I had more energy & gas money to do a lot of things. BUT I SHOULD MAKE BETTER USE OF WHAT I GOT FIRST. Well, once again Lexi's sleep habits are changing & I'm not sure how to cope. We were awake at 630AM & down for a 30 min nap around 815-845 & now down for another at 1040. She was so cranky I just don't know how to help her better. (she finally fell asleep rocked on top of me which hasnt happened in forever). But she just woke up crying at 11:11. I was hoping if the sun came up we could go swing in the park, but it looks like an overcast day and to me that = no park due to a freaking cold temp.
Well, I finally wanted to blog about the master bedroom, the one with the new comforter (talk about warmth.) The only thing I'm disappointed about is that the comforter will be too hot half of the year. I was hoping to have an all season one but that didn't happen. Moving along - here are the pictures & my ramblings but my ideal master bedroom (assuming one day we can find something that gives us all the practicality our hearts desire) And sorry, no bright pictures due to the overcast day.
For starters, accent pillows are expensive, but I want three. Obviously I am giving them up for now. I am also waiting on two matching end tables and two matching lamps. I hate Eric's college lamp & I miss having a side table for me. So there. Until I can afford some or Eric makes some, I'm waiting. That is all I ask for though. accent pillows, lamps & side tables. Oh, and I still want the head board raised. The color actually blended in nicely, but that's about it. I don't like the shelves. I'd rather just have a fancy fabric headboard. Oh and a wedding picture on canvas above the bed. 600 thread count sheets? a new mattress? A bed that sits up a little higher? Stop me now.
But you notice how the bed isn't centered between the windows? That's because the air vent sticks out from the bottom of the wall. A top complaint for the engineering work on this house. Mr Smith & I both decided we'd also like to have the walk-in closet in the bathroom - why did they put it on opposite sides? The end.
But then I could spend hours on the layout of the master bathroom.
It's no master bath if you don't have a double sink. There is a spare closet on the left side with just a bar going across. NOT needed with the big walk-in closet on the other side. It should be part linen closet or at least more room for the double sink. And the tile... we like larger tile squares & darker tile squares for the floor. Although the white makes it way easier to see how bald I am. By the sink (including the kitchen) I hate when grout is thick because it's so hard to clean. In my future, ideal home EVERYTHING IS EASY TO CLEAN. No cracks where things can fall & things can crawl. And no weird textures that muck can stick to. I can deal with the sink size although for washing your face, I feel like wider is so much better & a taller faucet although I know those fancy ones are expensive - this is my dream so they are present.
The one thing we will only ever dream of is a tiled shower with multiple water heads. We don't use the tub. I get a little creeped out about thinking about sitting in a shower tub HOWEVER I can see how a jacuzzi would be nice for just that purpose (basically when I'm pregnant or stressed) but it would never be a reason to buy a home & we'd never purposely spend the money on one. It would just be a nice bonus feature.
And lastly, a girl needs drawers for the hair dryers, for the make up, for the 10 brushes we own. I don't want baskets on the counter. But I don't like just open space under the counter. I feel like monsters are crawling around in the dark abyss & the last thing I want to do go searching for the lost hairbands & lotions. So I need some awesome storage space next to the mirror.
Wow. I guess I'm done.
