We've begun to Renovate the Bedroom!

I can't believe it! I had hoped the bedroom would follow the living room but didn't dare dream. We've actually begun building in the his/her closets on either side of the north facing window. When we moved in we were forced to tear out the only small closet in the largest bedroom as there wasn't a wall that would accommodate our king size bed without placing it over a window. I have a thing about obstructing windows, I love natural light and have always considered covering a window for any reason unforgivable so we ripped out the closet.

From my many years of religiously watching HGTV I've learned a room without a closet can't officially be considered a bedroom. This old house has so few bedrooms for the total square footage sacrificing one isn't possible. It would kill us when we decided to sell, trust me that's many years away but is always considered when making decisions. Someday when we've both retired we'll want to sell and move south. We share visions of retiring to a beautiful South Carolina town called Beaufort. We've vacationed there for ten years and have always talked about living there.

The bedroom is officially begun and will consume our weekends for a few months to come.
