A change is coming! *with survey*

I mean not much of a change, just rearranging some furniture and moving a few of the rooms around in the house. When the kids aren’t here I just sit up in the loft/office playing on the computer or in the living room watching tv. So I decided why not have the best of both worlds? Okay that has nothing to do with the rearranging, but it is a bonus. Jordan has his room in the basement, Brittany on the main floor (the master bedroom is on the main floor too) and Maddison’s room is upstairs next to the loft. When I moved in I thought it would work out perfectly, but Jordan is afraid to sleep in the basement alone because of the furnace noises. So he has been crashing in my room or Brittany’s room. I talked to Brittany and asked if she would want to share a bedroom with Maddison. Brittany is 10 and Maddison is 3, so it would be interesting, but she liked the idea. So I am going to move Jordan to the main floor and Brittany into Maddison’s room. Then I am going to turn my office/loft into a play room where they can watch tv and keep all their toys. it should work out well. Then I am moving my office into the section of my living room I call “the music room” (it’s where the piano is). then move the piano into the dining room since the only thing in there is the table and chairs. Anyway, here are the before pictures. They were taken with the panoramic setting on my camera from the corner of the rooms, so they may seem a bit odd, but use your imagination. Also sorry for the mess, I am a single father of three for God sakes.
