Charlotte Home Tour: 2nd Floor

Finally getting around to posting the rest of the pictures of our house. Funny because we don't even live there anymore! 

After I graduated nursing school and accepted a job downtown, we decided we wanted to move closer to work and downtown living. The only problem was that we owned a house in the suburbs and it is so dang expensive to buy a house downtown! We found someone to rent out our house immediately so we just found an apartment to rent out for this year. The people renting our house want to buy it so we'll see what happens. Our dream would be to end up in a house on Queens Blvd here in Charlotte.....we can dream right? We might just have to win the lottery to make that dream come true! 

Master bedroom-- loved the big room and lots of natural light. Didn't get a picture of the bathroom and walk in closet before we moved. 

Hallway outside our bedroom with one staircase 

 1st guest bedroom-- Andrew built the bed frame one weekend while I was out of town and picked out the new light :) 

2nd guest bedroom--

 I guess I never took a picture of the 3rd guest bedroom. I only have a picture from the previous owners who made it their daughter's play room. We just had a bed in there and used the walk in closet for storage. 

Buy always gets so sad when we are packing things up. Wouldn't leave our side to make sure he didn't get left! 

Upstairs bathroom-- Andrew ripped out linoleum from this bathroom and added this gray tile we picked out. Love my handyman and grateful for all he did for our home!

We loved this house! Who knows if we'll end up living in there again after this year or if we will sell it but it has lots of great memories for us. We had lots of guests come stay here and loved every second of it! Right now we are living in a tiny apartment, seriously....2,000 square feet less than what we had in our house!! :( but I am LOVING my 3 minute drive to work, being close to everything, walking to different restaurants for date nights, and walking across the street to Target and Trader Joes whenever I need something. Different way of living but it's fun too. 

Charlotte home tour: main floor

Started this post last year and just now getting back around to it. Guess that's what nursing school will do to you, but thankfully have a little more free time now that I'M DONE! Hard to believe we've already lived in this house for over a year though. Time is just flying by. 

When you walk in through the front door, you can either go left to the office, bathroom, laundry room, or hallway leading to the Great Room, or go up the stairs, or go to the right to the Living room and Dining room. We really liked that you don't just walk in the front door to one room, but rather has an open feel. 

Entry way

1st staircase 

Office

Built in bookcase

Half bathroom

laundry room leading out to garage, still need to rip out the linoleum floors and add tile

Great Room 

Great room with 2nd staircase. The other best thing in this house besides the kitchen is the fact that we have two staircases! Brilliant! It is so perfect for when I wake up and let Bry out in the morning without wanting to be seen out the front entry windows. 

Dining Room

Living Room--I know, I know. The chevron walls next to the patterned walls in the dining room is a terrible mix. It's on our to-do list to paint the Chevron walls, but haven't gotten around to it. 

Andrew just ripped up linoleum in one of our upstairs bathrooms and added tile we picked out together (what can't that man do--he's amazing!) so soon I'll be posting the rest of our house pictures! Being homeowners is so fun but also so much work. Our backyard landscaping still needs lots of TLC.
