Yes, the girls...Thanks for catching that Annemarie! Yes, the girls room is the largest and it is quite large, a long rectangle shaped room. Quite roomy with the toys all out of there in fact. =)<BR/><BR/>We have 2.5 baths, which I thought would/could never work, since our last, much smaller house (1900 sq. ft.) had 3 full baths. But, we have made it work. Our current house is 2900 sq. ft. Your grandparents huge sounds huge by comparison!<BR/><BR/>Personally, one more half bath would be great in our house, or a bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower stall. We keep trying to figure out how we could add that... in our laundry room, or remodel the large master bathroom and over sized closet to add onto/into the upstairs hall bathroom... But, because the hallway access is so limited we haven't been able to come up with a simple enough plan. Simple meaning not expensive, lol, and not needing to move lots of walls, plumbing, etc. Oh well. The 2.5 baths work and will keep working I'm sure! =)Mom of thirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537459011257295414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-81875770167063646732008-05-23T18:36:00.000-07:002008-05-23T18:36:00.000-07:00i completely understand the compulsion to move fur...i completely understand the compulsion to move furniture & paint while pregnant. i always think "if only i had this while i also had energy, i could conquer the world."<BR/><BR/>we are looking at room shift around here once nolan gets bigger. our closet doesn't work as baby-space since you have to walk through it to get into the master bath. we'll probably give him the boot at around 6 months...we'll see.<BR/><BR/>meg- <BR/><BR/>all lowercase = typing while nursingMeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405653916854475933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-82680625036758310632008-05-23T18:35:00.000-07:002008-05-23T18:35:00.000-07:00You commented on the 2nd largest bedroom--the one ...You commented on the 2nd largest bedroom--the one three boys will now be in. Is the master the largest? If so, may I ask why in the world 5 girls have to share one room but 3 boys get the biggest kids' room (ad prev. just 2)?<BR/><BR/>Or is the girls room the largest bedroom and you were only referring to size with the kids' rooms?<BR/><BR/>It's fun to hear about your arrangements. My Mom is the oldest of 14 and I always love hearing about who slept where! They didn't change much. The house had a boys bedroom, a girls bedroom, and a smaller room for the two oldest (who happened to be girls, so the girls' bedroom was half the size of the boys'). At some point, a bedroom and 3/4 bath was added to the basement and two of the older boys moved down there. As the kids got older and moved out, the next oldest moved downstairs or into the oldest girls' room. It's funny because I knew those rooms as "Paul and Ted's" (the 2 youngest boys) and "Lori's" (the youngest girl). But my Mom always thinks of it as her and Carolyn's room, since they probably had that room longer than any other girls! LOL<BR/><BR/>BTW, there was also a master bedroom--the largest bedroom where the baby was until it graduated to the kids' rooms, their aunt's room--she helped out with the family after there were 6, and a guest room off the kitchen. It was a huge house! But only one full bath (with 2 sinks), a 3/4 off the kitchen, and then eventually the one in the basement. Actually, these days, it's probably not that huge. But to me it was. Prob around 3000-4000 sq ft (after the family room addition when half the kids had left home).AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.com
