Skokie Homes for Sale: Bedrooms

Full details about our updated 3 bed, 2 bath brick ranch.

Behold bedroom number 3 (11 X 10), which was transformed from a proper bedroom to a playroom many years ago when I thought it would be "cute" to have our little boys share a room. This ridiculous move cost the master of the house and I about six month of sleep. But eventually the sharing thing was such a hit that even when we offered the boys chances to separate, they stuck together like peanut butter and jelly.So now you know why we call bedroom number 2 (11X 11) the "sharing room." When we moved our then 18 month-old in with his big brother, he refused to sleep in his crib. We eventually got him this cute little IKEA toddler bed. You want that bed with the house? We will throw it in for free!

On to bedroom 1!
At 11 x 11, it's the same size as bedroom 2, but the bay window, made this room ours. Well, actually there was this box window thingy there before and when we installed the new windows, we had a proper bay window built.

This is a good time to mention we installed energy efficient windows throughout the house. When we first moved in, we found that the previous owner had stuffed socks (socks!) in the metal window frames to try to keep out breezes.

This sunny room is a great place to nap on a cold winter day. Or any day for that matter.
