House Tour: Ideas for a Busy Family

 

Howdy, y’all.  Since you all loved my first post about Kris’s house so much, I’m back to show you more!  Today we’re going to focus on some kids’ spaces.  With 5 kiddos and one more on the way, this house has to be beautiful and functional!

First up, some of the bedrooms.  Kris has 4 boys and one girl, so far.

With all those boys, she went super feminine for her 3 year old’s room.  Wouldn’t you?

See the turquoise desk in the reflection?  I could almost picture one of my turquoise chairs in the corner of this room! 

Now, here’s a glimpse at some of the necessities that keep a family of 7 sane…

The upstairs loft area contains a family room that the bigger boys use most of the time. It wasn’t really staged for a blog the day that I visited – the boys were using it!  But I love how even the family areas of the house are beautiful, including the black doors to all the bedrooms.  Gorgeous, aren’t they?

The boys’ bathroom is also down that hallway. 

 

There’s an identical vanity and storage cabinet on the opposite wall…such a great idea.

Moving downstairs, the laundry room features this adorable vintage aqua sink!

And a cabinet for laundry baskets, with a counter on top for folding.

A new dryer is waiting to be installed, but Kris would really like two sets of stacking washers and dryers.  With 6 kids, I think she’ll need them!

Finally, a little organization…Kris blogged about her memo board here.

 

And she made a chalkboard across the hall from the bulletin board, by simply painting chalkboard paint on the wall and framing it!

 

I still have at least one more blog post about this amazing house…here’s a little sneak peek:
