I posted this on our house tour, but thought I would post here too. Middle son’s bedroom was a small bedroom. When it was time to move from the crib to a big boy bed, I wanted something that wouldn’t take a lot of floor space. After searching for possibilities, I determined we were going to have to build it.

Master Bath
I shared our Master bath on the "house tour" tab earlier this week too. Here you go! This Master Bath was one of my favorite rooms.

Small Houses
