NatashainDFW Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We are currently in a 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment. If we stay on track for the next two years I am hoping to find a 4/2 with a finished basement we can afford to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. Every time we talk about trying to find a bigger place, we look at our teeny tiny mortgage and change our minds. A fourth bedroom and an office for DH that is actually inside the house would be lovely, but not lovely enough to double our payment each month. We just keep talking about what we'll buy when we're millionaires :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidiyaDawn Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 3 if you count the basement….dd14 lives down there - it doesn't count as a bedroom when the city guy does the assessment thing because it "doesn't have a closet"… I don't know why that matters - it's carpeted, texture painted walls, is full of bedroom furniture, has a bathroom w/ shower and toilet (washer/dryer in there too)… sure looks like a bedroom to me. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 In the current phase of our church redo, we have three formal bedrooms and one of the boys likes to use the unfinished balcony. Eventually that balcony will have two more bedrooms. So two boys share a room, dd has a room, and then dh and I while adventure boy sleeps upstairs in a free-standing hammock! We keep offering to move his bed up there; apparently, he loves the hammock. We also only have one bathroom in this phase. However, phase two will include the master bath for dh and I. Phase two was greatly delayed when the roof decided it just could not last two more years. We now have a beautiful, dark blue metal roof. It was completed on Tuesday evening so that our neighbor could promptly come running over to tell us she hated the color, "Why on earth didn't you order green?" (She had her hands on her hips and was shaking her finger at me. :001_huh:) Anyway, two more bedrooms, one bath, and finished spiral staircase, and a new front door along with new ceiling in the foyer await us about 2.5 years from now. Well, unless we go overseas...then everything is on hold. I grew up with a four bedroom house - one bedroom for my mom's mother.

Ria Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 5 for us. It was a 4-bedroom, but the master bedroom took up 1/3 of the upstairs. We did a little reconstruction (we are good with framing and drywall!) and turned it into a 15 x 12 master w/ original (small) walk-in closet and tiny bathroom (6 x 6...shower, no tub) and a 10 x 12 bedroom w/ walk-in closet, plus an extra closet in the hall.

amy g. Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We have 5 now, but Miss Happy only has a closet, and no bedroom, so for Christmas we are finishing out the 3 car garage for a gameroom/bedroom for Mr. Clever, then Miss Happy can his old room. When he leaves home, I'll use the garage room for a school room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfoot Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We have a big house, and it's a lot to keep up with. DD 5 sometimes mentions moving in with DD 13, who quickly says, "No way..." We have a sort of balcony/loft thing that overlooks the foyer. It was supposed to be just decorative, but in a homeschooling house, every square foot counts, ;), so we put a door from each of the boys' rooms that opens to either end and made it a costume/reading loft. To DS 3.5, that makes his room and DS 15's room "connecting," which makes him happy.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Our house is actually a 4 bedroom plan, but the original buyers had the house built with only 3 bedrooms so that one of the bedrooms is pretty large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Technically 4, but we live in a bi-level, so the downstairs bedroom is half sunken into the ground and is too icky to use as bedroom (cold and spidery, blech) for my taste. Thankfully, we don't actually need it as one, and we use it as an office/treadmill room. I always wish we had some kind of spare room when guests come, but since guests are pretty rare, we just suck it up and deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ours is technically a four bedroom, but we have an additional room my daughter uses as a bedroom.

butterflymommy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We live in an old Victorian with 17 rooms, 8 official bedrooms but 2 other rooms could theoretically be used as bedrooms. Before living here we lived in a 2 bedroom + small nursery (size of a closet) house... years later I still am not used to all the space. It's a real blessing.

We turned it into a closet, but originally when the house was built it was the nursery. So I suppose I actually have a 5 bedroom house. But I wouldn't want to try to stick a bed in the old nursery.

hsmamainva Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 5 bedrooms (one on the main level where my oldest sleeps). 4 bathrooms (2 upstairs, 2 on the main level).

Seems like every time a baby was born they tacked on another room-- makes for a very unusual layout! So anyway there are seven, but they're nothing fancy, believe me. We only use 4 as bedrooms.

vettechmomof2 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I voted 3 because that is what we technically have BUT our 3rd bedroom has been gutted since we moved into this house and it will take us many more years(unfortunately) to be able to afford to make it a room.

peachskittles Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Technically 3 bedrooms but we are using the living room as a bedroom, which makes the dining room the living room and the room between the playroom. Ok way more information than was needed. :tongue_smilie: We are going to look at a 5 bdrm house that has 2000sq ft for the main level and 1500sq ft for the upper level. All the bedrooms and one bath are up. Those must be some massive bedrooms, because our entire house right now is 1500sq ft. We can't buy until December/January most likely (according to the bank so crossing fingers) so we hope no one will buy it between now and then if it turns out to be amazing.

One of the bedrooms is the classroom and ds laid claim to the dormer room. It's about 25 x 9, the biggest room in the house. He loves it, adores it, may never move out. It is a very cool room, an ideal teen room. half of it is bedroom, the other half living room and world domination computer setup. When he does finally move out, it's becoming the writing getaway.
