Garden Room, Excercise Area and Fishy Bathroom

This is the girls' GARDEN ROOM: 

 

  This photo was taken in the doorway of the girls' room with the stairway behind me and the hallway leading to the Excercise room to my left.  The window looks out over the back yard on the side that has the playset.  Just beyond the ledge/wall on the right of this photo...  before the closet there is a little alcove...  that is where I had my dh build shelves and a desk:

 

Desk 

 

This is the really cool built-in desk and shelves that I designed and my dh built for the girls!  If you look closely you can see the garden fence painted on the wall...  it goes all the way around the room.  I will try to get a better picture of it later. 

 

 

 

If you walk down the hallway from the girls' bedroom you come to this really big open area in the hallway between the bathroom/utility room  (which is just forward of the elliptical bike and on the right)  and the school room/library/office... (which would be just to the left of the upper left corner of this photo) So we made it our excerise area.

 

 

This is the view of the laundry room from the doorway of the excercise area.  This is also the girls' bathroom... 

 

 

This is the same room from another angle.  This photo was taken from the exterior doorway.  I had a doorway added to this room so the children could come straight into this room from outdoors (to use the bathroom or take off muddy clothes, etc.)  instead of into the carpeted areas.  I also had them add the room for a second dryer.  My sweet husband added the two utility shelves up above! 

 

The shower/tub and toilet are right across from the deep sink, washer and dryers:

 

 

We call this "Fishy Bathroom"!

 

Next entry will be the school room/library/office that has a really weird storage space in it and a "secret lab/rocket ship"!!!

Mar. 12, 2006 - NOPE!

Posted by quietcajun

No luck involved, JenIG... It was a blessing from God. It is truly amazing how much of our material stuff was a direct miracle or amazingly low price, or given to us for free, or yard sale finds etc. Everything we have we have just been blessed with and we try to hold on to very loosely as we realize that it is really valueless in the big scheme of things. Not to say that we are not being good stewards of what we have, but if I had to sell every last item tomorrow, or if we had a fire, etc. Prayerfully, we would be able to get through it knowing that it is God who has given it and if He choose to take it away we will try to trust in His plan for that season!

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
