Our house has a finished attic. The space is about 10' by 30'...very roomy! We've been using it as our master bedroom. Sometime before we have any babies, we'll be moving to a bedroom downstairs. I'll miss sleeping up here!
Our bedding. Hotel Collection from Macy's:
From left to right: wall mounted space heater (the attic can get quite chilly in the winter; wall mount is GREAT so the puppy won't burn his curious little nose), new TV from Santa, wedding picture on canvas (Christmas gift from Aaron's sister and brother-in-law)
Little dressing corner and closet:
It will be more practical to live downstairs when we have a little one. I'll miss the space, but going up and down the stairs several times a night doesn't sound like fun!
Our plans for this room:
- convert space into guest room/office
- add a three quarters bath and additional closet space
- remove the half-wall surrounding the stairs, and replace with a railing/spindles
Wall mounted space heater is a great idea! We had planned on installing a thermostat controlled baseboard heater had we stayed, but with kids or puppies, the higher one is definitely better! Our bedroom wasn't in the attic, but I practically lived up there...it was definitely my space. A bathroom will be great! With the length of the room, I had though about adding a bed up there for guests once Hannah took over our guest room. Funny about the stairs though...the attic originally had rails and spindles, but once Hannah came and was upstairs with me, we put in the half wall because she kept dropping things through the spindles and it was easier to affix baby gates to the solid wall then rails. Keep the pictures coming! I love all the changes...Hannah does too, she's asked to see your blog like 10 times today! Lol
