    Please do not apologize about “messy” - this tour has changed my life ... it is so refreshing to see real people give a real tour of a real house as it is!! Kids sitting around, walking in and out, stuff on top of dressers, art waiting to be hung. I love your house. (You should paint your headboard wall the same color as the wall behind it. It is such a gorgeous color and would cozy up your room with that beautiful bedspread color. Other than that - your house is perfect as is.) You should be proud - your house is such a home. Bravo. 🥰

      We have 10/11 (depending on when oldest is home from college) in 1400 square feet, but we kind of expanded by building a big loft for extra bed space. I rarely miss having more space. It works for us but isn't great for entertaining. Current "shelter-in-place" orders have made it seem more confined and cluttered. :)

    We bought a bed with deep drawers underneath which eliminated the need for dressers and made our bedroom feel much larger with more open floor space. I love what you’ve done to make this house a home for you. We raised 7 kids in a 1200 sq. ft. 1904 house, the unfinished attic was divided into two bedrooms, one for the boys and one for the girls with a small space between the two. A walk in closet (weird considering the rest was unfinished space) was made into a 1/2 bath so the boys would stop peeing out their bedroom window! I know, TMI. When the kids (all grown and gone) talk about the good ole days it’s the years spent in that house. Blessings.

Nothing is finished, almost all trim is gone, and so much more mudding to be done. We had to take the kitchen down to the studs and start over. It’s been a long time consuming project. And we reached a point back on October of “it’s all good”. We won’t force ourselves to resume until January. lol It’s amazing what you learn to live with. Life happens and as long as it is functional it’s all good. I can’t wait to add character into our house. I just have to get my husband on board for some darker colors.

    Re: the pink "night stands" - just flip them so that they are parallel to the bed rather than perpendicular - drawers facing out. I have done this before in a small bedroom. That way you'll be able to open the door and still use the top of the dresser from the bed. Just an idea.

I will also agree with some of the comments about leaving it a ranch, especially if you plan to incorporate the existing carport into living space for the open LR/DR/kitchen areas - perhaps expanding a bit out the back for a 4 seasons room + extra space in your master/master bath? Only saying this because I am about a decade ahead of you with our last two "leaving the nest soon--one in 2.5 years and the other in 4.5 years--then, we'll have a completely empty upper level and basement family room at that point.

      Yes, a half bath (also called a "powder room" sometimes) is just toilet and sink. Full bath has a tub and/or shower. Sometimes, you might see something called a "3/4 bath" and that usually means that it only has a stand up shower and no tub.
