Yes, that's a good thing to keep in mind, for us eventually, but we are also hoping to talk some grandparents into living with us full time someday. We'll have the guest room downstairs, plus the playroom and schoolrooms are still available if needed.

We don't really have a timeframe. I'm hoping to get all the painting done upstairs by the end of the summer, but I probably don't have a good understanding of all that's going to go into it. I want to strip the door jambs and hardware and all sorts of other stuff I really have no business doing. 😉 Then, once we are settled upstairs, we'll start work downstairs. Or maybe we'll wait a year, I don't know for sure!

One of the things my husband and I thought about when we were looking at houses was aging-in-place and how stairs can become inconvenient. We're in our late 20s but who knows what the future holds? I think the idea of keeping at least one bedroom (although, you could likely turn the play and homeschool rooms back into bedrooms) downstairs will be great for you and your husband in 30+ years in case mobility and stairs become a problem.

Like many others, I'm eager to see the all the progress and finished rooms. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a renovation timeframe? I think your tastes are elegant and your home is so beautiful.

My husbands dream home would contain a Urinal, lol!

I LOVE that you are planning ahead for more beds! I am on pins and needles to see more pictures. I LOVE floorplan design…hobby of mine, and especially homes that work for large families. I am totally drooling in anticipation!

How He has smiled upon your family. You are one of the most straightforward defenders of the Faith, but you also have the joy of family life and the liturgical year. I don't like to say that anyone 'deserves' anything in this life…but I am glad that if somebody gets a mansion with a chapel and two dishwashers and suites for boys & girls, you are at the *top of the list of people who could be a good steward of it. You are firmly planted, and I think with all the excitement in this season, you have a heart that is still detached and set on our eternal home. No jealousy here, just happy to see someone handling this vocation with such grace. (okay, mostly honest…I am jealous of your chapel…sigh;)

I only have one sister so I can't really imagine living in a family the size of yours, but it seriously seems so fun. The house is beautiful and I'm glad you're renovating it to make it your own. So many people would kncixn it down and start from scratch.

And I am SO excited for you to have these things, too! They really could not be more practical and luxurious at the same time!

I was concerned about the little 1st floor laundry working for you until I saw the others. You have my sympathy on decision overload – been there! Hopefully you are spending as much time at Houzz.com as at Netflix, but I realize you aren't sponsored by Houzz. 🙂

SO practical! And I think shared rooms are good for character. 🙂
