Flanagan Clan

Here are a few pictures of the house. We took a whole bunch today, but since we’re still in the process of moving in, things are still a little messy, so I’m going to be very selective and only show you the least messy rooms. Once we’re truly settled in, we’ll post more pictures of some of the other rooms!!!

Patrick’s room. When Diane took this picture Patrick was taking a nap. He woke up, looked at her, and went back to sleep in his new big boy bed. Patrick’s room is quite large and could easily fit another bed or a bunk bed and a large dresser or two, making it quite suitable to hold 1-2 more children. Right now Patrick is enjoying it as a play room in addition to a place to sleep.

The other half of Patrick’s room, complete with his pack ‘n play, for when he doesn’t want to sleep in the big boy bed. I hope that Patrick will move completely to the big boy bed by the time the baby comes, so we can return the pack ‘n play to Grandma for when she has little visitors! The leapord print curtains, by the way, were left by the previous owner and will eventually be replaced at some point. The ceiling of this room is black, and will be painted white if I have time, and I’d like to add a baseball-themed wall border.

Andrew’s study and the guest bedroom, although lacking in a guest bed. We plan to paint this room a dark green at some point and add a bed as we have the means. For now it contains a filing cabinet and a work station for Andrew. This room has beautiful crown molding, which you unfortunately cannot see from the pictures. Again, the curtains belong to the old owners and will probably be changed out. Right now there are much more important things to worry about than ugly or strange looking curtains. We had originally thought about using this room for Patrick since it was a nice blue color, but since it was the smallest bedroom, it seemed to work better as a study/guest room.

The nursery, all ready for a new baby!

Another view of the nursery. Except for a few paint touchups, filling in old nail holes and hanging pictures, there’s very little that needs to be done to this room. If we ever have any girls, this will someday become the girls’ room and we’ll probably change the wall color at that point. Until we’re done having kids though, we plan to keep the same gender neutral ducky theme and baby blue walls, if the crib set lasts that long!

This is the reading room. The previous owners used it as a dining room, but since we do not own a formal dining set, we found it to be a much more comfortable den/sitting room. My parents gave us the foldout loveseat, which I once used as a bed in high school. We have also placed a Graco bassinet/miniature pack ‘n play in this room for the new baby, so I can have a place for the baby to sleep downstairs during the day. We need to get a small end table for the lamp, which is seen on the coffee table in this picture. At some point down the road it would be fun to add some pretty crown molding to this room, but for now it looks good the way it is!
