Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Our Masterbath Room details ~ Shop My Home

Master Baths, LOVE them, lots of people have them but definitely a luxury space for us.  

We lived in our 100yo home 16 years before we finally created a master suite in that old 100yo home ... 4 years prior to us selling.  I loved space we finally created for ourselves in the attic because we had never had a bathroom that wasn't shared with kiddos.  And you know how that goes, you're in the tub and everyone is in there chatting with you.  You're on the pot and people come sit on the side of the tub to chat ... someone please tell me you understand this or have been there, done that!!! 

Needless to say when we decided to build, our master space was extremely important to both of us, I mean after all, the kids will leave and we will still be here, so this house was really all about us, does that sound selfish?!?!?  Ok maybe we designed it with the grandkids in mind ... isn't she a doll!

Well not really just us, we designed it for all of our kids to come home to with their spouses and kids, that is what the design was all about! 

So our master bedroom, closet and bath take up one whole side of our home.  There is enough room for the hubs and I to be getting ready while the grandkids splash in the tub, dance in the closet or whatever their little hearts desire!

We couldn't be more pleased with this space other than the Mr. really dislikes that I talked him into white grout in the shower ... yeah that was probably not the smartest move because we've dealt with white grout before and it's a nightmare.  BUT once I again I went for looks over function and I so know better!!!
