Well, it is time for Show Us Where You Live Friday over at kellyskornerblog.com. This week we are touring Master Bedrooms.
If you have ever bought a house, you surely remember the hunt for the perfect house. Then, you realized that there isn't a "perfect" house. At least, not in your price range. Or, is that just me?
When we bought this house, we were looking for a larger, more family friendly house. We had two kids and were planning on one more. We wanted a playroom and spacious bedrooms for the kids (since they would likely be sharing down the road). We also wanted a family room where we could entertain family and friends and host Bible Studies. Our priority was our kids, our family, and our friends.
So, we had to sacrifice somewhere.
It was the master bedroom and bathroom that would suffer. As a matter of a fact...wait for it...we don't have a master bath. GASP! Trust me, I wish we did. Once Nurse Boy is a Nurse Practitioner, that is a HUGE priority around here! I DO NOT plan to share a bathroom with 2 teenage boys.
No. Thank. You.
But, come on into our humble bedroom...
It is cozy.
It is actually a room that I love to come to and relax.
Can you tell I am a fan of neutral colors?
I am obsessed with comforters and I get a new one almost every year. I love this one (so far).
The good thing about a small room is the simple fact that there isn't any room for clutter!
These are the his and her closets. Small and pathetic, I know! But, we make it work.
I also highly recommend stashing (and using!) a couples devotional in your room. We feel so much closer to one another when we commit to doing these nightly! Nightlight by the Dobsons is another one I recommend.
by Sweet Pea to try on mommy's shoes. 
And, sometimes I throw the clean laundry on the bed for the laundry fairy to come and fold. However, this is what often happens.

OK, so now I need to be completely honest. Sometimes this room is used...
by Sweet Pea to try on mommy's shoes. All. Of. Them.
When mommy isn't looking.
And, sometimes I throw the clean laundry on the bed for the laundry fairy to come and fold. However, this is what often happens.Did you know that you could play hide-n-seek in the midst of clean clothes? Don't answer that.
Yeah, it really helps out with the wrinkles.
Sometimes Nurse Boy even searches for a midnight snack to bring into the bedroom. How about some Peanut Butter Cereal Bars?
Just take 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup light corn syrup, and 1 cup of sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and mix in 4 cups of cheerios and 2 cups of rice cereal. Press into a 13x9 pan. Let cool and sneak them into bed late at night.
Whatever you do, don't let the kids see you.
Thanks for stopping by!
Do I dare enter?
Can you say 
Isn't this piece every little girl's dream? I made that feathered boa wreath on the right. I know it is over the top, but I waited THREE MORE YEARS!
Welcome to our dining room.
This table has a butterfly leaf that comes out and transforms this table into a square. The bench, seen against the wall, can then be pulled up to the table. It seats 8 adults very comfortably.
The french doors lead out to the backyard.
But, wait! There's more...
Our family room is connected to the dining room.
This room is just perfect for entertaining any time of the year.
We keep this room TV free, so we can do our family devotionals in here or read in peace. Nurse Boy has even been found studying in here.
This is our living room as seen when you walk in the front door. I love my black leather. It is kid friendly and wipes clean.
I painted this in college for an art class requirement. I have zero talent, but I love the color it brings to the room, not to mention the memories of that time in my life.
I also did this shading in college. I fell in love with it after I got it matted and framed.
I like to keep special photos on this table. I have one of my favorites of just my boys, a rocking chair frame of my parents' senior photos, Nurse Boy and I, and our wedding invitation. I also have a basket underneath for those random toys that constantly end up in the living room.
Come on in! One of my favorite features of this kitchen are the cabinets. They go all the way to the ceiling! Great for storage. And, yes, I do need a step stool to get to the top shelves.
My refrigerator says, "Giggle a Giddy Laughter." With three kids, that is the norm around here. And, next to the fridge, you will see my Kitchen Aide. Boy, do I love that thing! I just got it this year as a birthday gift from my in laws. How did I survive 12 years of marriage without that thing?!
And, I do love this kitchen garage. It is a mess inside...I love that it hides all of our junk. I will spare you the photo of the inside.
Here is where I spend most of my days, or so it seems. The lady that owned this house before had an obsession with pink and hunter green. Together. In the same room. So, the woman remodeled her kitchen with PINK counter tops.
