And up we go...

At the top of the stairs is a linen closet and the entrance into the master bedroom.  Directly in front of the door is an office/alcove.

I'm so excited!

We're thinking we will make it into a cozy nook and put our bed in there, and use the rest of the space as a sitting/reading area.

Can't you picture a lush [faux] sheepskin rug in front of that fireplace?  So nice.  We're thinking about painting the room a dark charcoal gray (almost black) for a really dramatic look.  I envision most of the house light and airy, but since Patrick would happily live a in a cave, this is a good place to go all out with that idea. 

The door on the left takes us to the bathroom and on the right is a walk-in closet. 

Also on the second floor are two additional bedrooms and a full bath.  We don't have pictures yet, but they're all pretty standard. 

That rounds out the upstairs.  Next we'll go for a walk outside.  Also, please keep your fingers crossed for us--our inspections are coming up this Tuesday!!!
