Maybe not the most exciting post, but here is the story behind our remodel! Hope it's not too confusing! I will post after pics when it's done, so some may want to just wait for those!  We love our house, but knew there were a few things we may want or need to change as we grow into it. The first thing was a potential remodel upstairs. As we purchased our house, when you walk up the stairs, you walk into a playroom / loft area, with both boys rooms to the left (with a bathroom shared between the rooms) and a large media-type room (with no windows) to the right.
