Downstairs

Come on in!
When you first walk in, to the right is a big closet. To the left of the closet is the stairs going up.

The door straight forward (left of the stairs as you pan around) is the bathroom/laundry room/second big closet. Then, as you continue left, is the girls room, then Noah's room.

This is a picture of the front door from the girls room.

Here is the downstairs bathroom. It's fairly spacious with it also having the washer and dryer in it. Although having enough room for all of Tori's beauty aaccouterments is always a challenge!
We bought a tension rod for the laundry area so I can have something to hang the hangers on and to be able to hang up clothes as they come out of the dryer. Behind the hanging dress is the water heater.

A Place for Cubby:
This is Cubby’s play closet. The door to it is in across from the water heater. It goes down, then turns to the left and left again, kind of like a “U”. She has shelves, a bean bag chair, a pillow with blanket for Kricket, some books, and her toys. It gives her some space to have her things to play with and for them not to get in Tori’s way. She has also made herself a curtain and has lights etc.

The girls are finding it an interesting challenge to share a room. They haven't for a long time and even with putting a lot of stuff in storage, they still have a lot of .......stuff. You can see in the first picture that Cubby is trying to make it feel a bit more like home, thankfully using tape and not putting a bunch of holes in the wall.

In front of Tori's bed may look like a big mess, but it's actually all her stuffed animals. Ready to greet or attach anyone who comes in.

Tori was taking a reading break.




You can't see the door to Noah's room when you walk in the front door until you close it. His room is to the immediate left of the front door.
As you can see, this is Noah’s room. He hasn't spent a lot of time putting boxes away and such, but he has helped me put a bunch away. Soon he will take the time to fix up his room. He’s been getting a lot of use out of his bike, running all over the town looking for a job.

Well, that's it for the downstairs. Stay tuned for more fun to come!
