Central Florida House Tour - The Master Bedroom

I've decided to do a house tour similar to the one I did whenever we moved into our townhouse. I enjoyed doing a step-by-step transformation, though I have to confess I didn't take as many pictures as I should have. It couldn't be helped; there was so much to do and my focus was on getting the house cleaned and habitable. And I had a whole lot of cleaning to do. The more I looked, the more I was convinced the cleaning crew did little more than spray room freshener to make the house smell nice.

 This is just some of the pet hair from cleaning the baseboards and around the corners. I had my work cut out for me.

This was how the bedroom looked after the first night. I had only packed the essentials on the first pod so we'd have a place to sleep, and since the one nightstand hadn't fit on the first pod it ended up with the bed and bedding. This was my bedroom for the first three days, then slowly furniture and decor made its way in. This is the bedroom now:

I decorated somewhat similarly to how I had it in the townhouse, with the same bedding and the same artwork above the bed. I didn't put the area rug completely underneath the bed because it would make the room seem empty. Even though it's the same furniture, it feels different in this room with the gray tiles and walls.

Next to the bed is my vanity. It fits beautifully between the two windows.

On the next wall, next to the door into the bedroom, I've set up my office. I have my desk and file cabinet here, with some artwork my daughter gave me. I have some ideas for how I might rearrange the room, but for now this is working well.

The last wall has a weird shape that is perfect for my chest of drawers. It fits right in between the master closet on the left and the master bathroom on the right. It's like it was made for my furniture.

The master bathroom will be next - stay tuned!

Moving In

After moving into our townhouse, I could only think of how happy I was once all the unpacking was done. I could focus on making our new little house into a home and not on all the boxes, bags, and plastic containers.

Yet, here we were once again.

First off, let me take you on a quick empty house tour, and a look at what our first day living here in our new home was like.

I love the front door to our new house. I love the arched transom window and the side window that let in lots of light. 

Straight ahead of the front door is a small hallway. To the right are the secondary bedrooms.

The living room is spacious. It's about 17' x 14', larger than the living room in the townhouse or even the family room in our old house. I'll admit I'm not a fan of all the gray in this room. The walls are gray, the tiles look like cement, but those things can be changed in time. I plan to live with it for awhile, but in the future I want to paint the walls a creamy warm white that matches my warm toned furniture better. The tiles are not my favorite but they are sort of a greige, so I think if I warm up the paint on the walls the flooring will warm up as well.

The dining area is right off the kitchen and to the left of the front door. It's not a dining room; the original plans call it a breakfast nook. It's pretty big though, more than enough space for what we need, and we certainly don't need a formal dining room. The large arched window lets in tons of light.

I should've taken a picture of the kitchen before we unloaded the car - oops! It doesn't seem like much here, but trust me, it's a very nice kitchen. It's large and comfortable to work in, and it even fits the kitchen island my daughter and son-in-law gifted me at Christmas which made me oh so happy!

The master bedroom is massive. At 18' x 12 1/2', it's the largest master bedroom I've ever had. It's surprising to me, because this house has less square footage than either our old house or the townhouse, but it's laid out so well that the house feels much bigger than it actually is. 

Quick pic of the master bedroom. It smelled nice and fresh. I was soon going to find out it wasn't. 

The master closet is bigger than the one I had at our first house, but smaller than the one at the townhouse. Either way, it's more than enough for my needs.

My son's bedroom. It's not very big, about the size of the bedroom he had at our old house. The ceiling fan will be replaced soon. He's not too fond of the blue blades and pink flowery pulls.

He's not upset about the bedroom being smaller, because the third bedroom is his office/music room. The fact that he has a whole "wing" of the house to himself makes up for the smaller rooms. That, and the bathroom.

Not that he needs them, but he has double sinks in his bathroom.

The tub and toilet are separate from the sink area, making this bathroom almost as big as the master bathroom. It's twice the size of the bathrooms in both our old houses.

The first day we arrived at the house at around 2:00 pm. The Pod hadn't arrived yet, and whenever I called the company they said the container was scheduled to arrive between 6:00 and 10:00 that night. We had no furniture, just the items that we'd brought in the car. So what did we do till the Pod arrived? 

First things first, we went in to use the bathrooms. After a long trip it's the first thing anyone wants to do. I went into the master bathroom, toilet paper in hand, thinking the bathrooms had been cleaned professionally so they should be spotless. Whenever I lifted the toilet cover, I found that someone had used the bathroom and hadn't flushed. Now, I suspect it was one of the children. The sellers have three young children, and well, kids are kids. They do things like that. What was upsetting to me is that these sellers paid over $150 to have this house cleaned, and it obviously was not.

The tile grout throughout the house was grimy and pretty disgusting. The previous owners had two large dogs and a cat that came in and out of the house constantly, and the floors showed it. The house smelled of kitty litter. It was bad. So they paid to have the floors professionally cleaned, as well as the cleaning crew that came in to clean the house. Well, the tile grout was scrubbed till it now looks like new. However, it was clear that they used machines to clean the floors, and these got the baseboards and corners filled with grimy dirt that neither the floor cleaners nor the cleaning crew did anything about. All around the house the baseboards were filthy, muddy and had pet hair caked on to them. It was vile.

After lunch my son and I headed to Lowe's. There were two things I wanted to buy immediately: new toilet seats and some sort of cleaner. The toilet seats were double what I would have paid if I'd ordered them from Amazon, but I didn't want to wait till Monday to get my order. There was no way I was going to use those old, nasty looking toilet seats. I bought a bottle of Method all purpose cleaner to start the real cleaning process. My son decided he was exhausted and needed a nap. There were some blankets and his pillow, so he made himself a make-shift bed on the floor. I, on the other hand, got down on my hands and knees, and for the next several hours I scrubbed baseboards. There was nothing else to do in the house; no furniture to sit down on, no internet connections, nothing to distract me from looking at the dirt. It kept me busy till the Pod arrived.

And thankfully it arrived around 7:30 pm. Unfortunately, the driver had a hard time getting it unloaded, so that while it was still light outside whenever he got there, it was dark by the time he left. Here it was, 8:30 at night, and we were unloading beds, mattresses, and bedding so we could get our beds set up. It took another couple of hours before we were done and ready to hit the sack. We couldn't even shower; I hadn't cleaned the bathrooms because all my bathroom cleaners were in the Pod. I didn't care. I was too tired to care. All I wanted was to get a good night's sleep, because the next day was going to be a busy one.

But that's a post for another day. See y'all soon!

Let's Take A Tour - The Guest Bathroom

The guest bathroom is to the left of the staircase, beside my son's bedroom and in front of the linen closet.

It's also beside the office, which in the original plans for this house was the third bedroom. The best thing I can say about it is that it's in a convenient location. It's also eerily similar to the guest bathroom in our old house. The only difference is the placement of the door.

It's a very small bathroom. Has everything it needs and nothing it doesn't. I could have skipped touring it altogether, but there's a few things I'd like to do with it in the future so I figured I'd share where we are with it now.

This is what you see whenever you walk into the bathroom. It's been nicely updated, nothing fancy and everything classic so that any design style will work with it. I really like that about this house. I can decorate this with any farmhouse style just as it is. I can paint the vanity and change out knobs for a more modern look, or a shabby chic look, or a boho style. It's neutral enough that it adapts to whatever decor gets thrown at it. And it's functional, which is what everyone wants their bathroom to be. I like classic with a touch of rustic, so the white tobacco basket I found in the clearance aisle at Walmart fit the bill. I added the bronze metal butterfly that I picked up at Hobby Lobby to complete the look. These two items were in the master bedroom in my old house, but I felt they looked better in here.

  

The vanity is small, so I keep only the essentials on it. It still looks busy to me, though. Just above the vanity, to the left of the mirror, I can tell there was a medicine cabinet at one time. The previous owner probably took it out whenever she remodeled because it was either unsightly or unused. Either way it took away some storage, even if just a small amount. My hope is to add shelving in the future, similar to what is in the master bathroom, so I can remove more things from this vanity top. The little potted orchid is from TJ Maxx. I added it to liven up the space, and it was just the touch it needed.

The shower curtain is from the Hearth and Hand collection at Target. I had this in the guest bathroom in our old house, and since it's a neutral color and design it worked perfectly in here. 

I wanted something above the towel rack because the wall looked so bare. I tried putting the tobacco basket here but it was too small. This wall art is from Hobby Lobby. I loved it the minute I saw it, and since it has the rustic wood along with the teal green flowers, I knew if it didn't work in the bathroom I could find another spot in the house for it. Thankfully, though, that wasn't necessary; it was exactly what this spot needed.

The only other room in the house is my son's bedroom, but we won't be touring that. It's his personal space and I want to respect his privacy. Of course there's also the garage, but there isn't much to see there except my car and some storage containers. I might do a tour whenever I start decorating for fall, since my fall decor is in totes in my garage. It'll be easier to show that way.

It took a few months, but we're finally caught up with the present day. Of course there will be more changes; there's already been changes that I haven't posted about yet! September is just around the corner and everyone is decorating for fall. I love decorating, I love fall colors, but the fall isn't my favorite season. At least not till November when hurricane season ends. At this writing, Tropical Storm Marco reached the Louisiana/Texas coastline a couple of days ago but fizzled out. Hurricane Laura, however, is gaining strength and headed in the same general direction. Meaning, Louisiana and Texas need our prayers. The weatherman says it'll most likely become a major hurricane by the time it reaches land, but Jesus commands the storms, not the Weather channel. 

There's plenty more I hope to be sharing on my blog soon. I hope you'll come back and sit with me awhile. God bless.

Let's Take A Tour - The Master Bathroom

 In my old house the master bathroom was remodeled and updated back in 2009. I did several posts on it and the final reveal is here. I loved the finishes I'd selected, but the bathroom always seemed an odd space to me. Whenever you walked in, there were two walk-in closets, one to the right and one to the left. Once inside, the vanity was on the left, the toilet and bidet were on the right, and straight ahead was the garden tub/shower. In the middle of this was a large, empty space. While it was nice to have a large bathroom, it was a lot of wasted space. The bidet was almost never used. A stand up shower would have been a much better choice, and there was more than enough room for it. We remodeled this bathroom out of necessity: the tiles around the tub started to fall out. After months of going back and forth with the insurance company we finally got a settlement, but it wasn't enough to do major remodeling. We put in all new tile and a new vanity but kept everything else where it was. 

When the time came to find my new home, I didn't give the master bathroom much thought. I wanted it to be functional, of course, and pretty, if possible. I hoped I could have a garden tub again - while I only take showers, I like the size of the garden tub. More than anything, I hoped it would already be remodeled. I knew I could afford to have it redone, but I didn't want to spend money on it. God heard my heart, and boy did He deliver!

The door to the master bathroom is a pocket door, just like every other master bathroom I've had here in Florida. I like the tile in the bathrooms. It isn't the same tile as in the rest of the house; this tile is in both bathrooms and the entryway, and it's a tan color. 

The sage green color from the master bedroom continues in the bathroom, and since it's a favorite color of mine I decided to use some of my old decor and incorporate new items using this lovely color as well. The shower curtain is from Target. I was able to buy it with a gift card I received from my church back home on my last day there. It was such a sweet surprise, and so appreciated. I also got the small square rug at Target. I want to change that out eventually, since it's kind of small for the space.

I know this vanity and mirror don't follow the current trend of white and gray everything, but it is exactly what I would have chosen. I love rich, dark wood tones. This comes off a little more orange than it is in real life. I love the oil rubbed bronze fixtures, and the handles are the same ones I had in my kitchen at the old house. I kept the decor on here very simple: hand soap, a lotion dispenser I picked up at Ross for $4.99, and everything else is from my old house. The wooden tray was a gift from a neighbor. The candleholders are from Walmart and the green candles (which I already had) were a clearance item at Target. The little green vase is actually a votive holder I found at the Target dollar spot a couple of years ago, and yes, it too is sage green. The round mirror is from Walmart, I believe.

 

Above the towel holder are two wall art pieces that I've had for about 20 years. I got these at Burlington Coat Factory, and for years they hung in my dining room. There was no place for them in my new dining room, but I was thrilled when I saw how perfectly they looked here in my bathroom (notice the green stems on the flowers - sensing a theme here). The hand towels I got from Costco. Their towels are the best, and the prices can't be beat for the quality.

Y'all, whenever I walked into this bathroom I did a double take. A garden tub! I did not think I would actually find a house with a garden tub. It made me so happy!

I also love this little potty room (Haha, yes I know, it's called a water closet. I think potty room sounds more fun)! I really like the layout of this master bathroom. It's much smaller than my old bathroom, but the space is used so efficiently that there is space to move and plenty of privacy. I looked all over Pinterest to see how I wanted to decorate this area. I wanted some decor, but nothing over the top since it is such a small space.

I already had the towels from my old house, and the colors worked perfectly, but when I put the old artwork that I'd used in my old bathroom the color was completely wrong. I knew I wanted something to replace it, but I hadn't decided what. Hobby Lobby made the decision for me. This white washed basket with the metal flower in the middle (yes, that's sage green) was on clearance for $11.24 - regular price was $45! The minute I saw it I knew exactly where I wanted it. Originally I put it above the toilet, but this is where I intended for it to go. I needed some type of storage for above the toilet, but I didn't want a storage cabinet. I decided open shelving would be a much better option.

I found this shelf, complete with brackets, at Ross for $16.99! I couldn't believe how well the wood matched the vanity - it looks like it's part of a set! I picked up the planter the same day for $6.99, and it completed the look. I can't wait to decorate this shelf for fall!

On the wall opposite the vanity is a set of mirrored doors - perfect for checking out my outfit before I leave the house! Behind these doors is the master closet.

I picked up the wood board with the hooks at Ross for, I believe, $12. The laundry basket is from Costco. The shoe rack is from Amazon. Most everything else came with me from the old house.

It is a very nice size closet, with more than enough room for my clothes and storage. It's a room I would like to tackle in the future, though. The racks are the same sticky vinyl that was in the laundry closet, and while these aren't in as bad shape, they aren't in the best shape either. Plus, the room isn't being utilized well. I would love to put in a closet system with shelves and drawers, but that will probably wait till next year, after I complete a few other projects. 

We are coming to the end of the tour! The next room is the guest bathroom, a small but cute room with lots of potential. See you soon!

Let's Take A Tour - The Master Bedroom

 Last year as we prepared for our move I had to make some tough decisions. There was sorting, packing, and a lot of decluttering. We were moving into a smaller place, and although this house is chock full of storage for such a small space, it was still much less than what I'd been accustomed to for the previous 19 years. I ordered the packing pod and made the commitment to take only what fit inside the pod - if it didn't fit, it had to go. I wasn't completely faithful to this promise; there were the items, such as clothes and toiletries, that we had to take to my daughter's house until moving day. There was also a TV cabinet that didn't fit in the pod that my son-in-law's parents graciously took to their house and brought back whenever we finally moved. But there was one room that didn't make it into the pod: the master bedroom. Once we had most of the furniture and boxes in, it became clear that neither the king size bedframe, mattress, box springs, or nightstands were going to fit. The pod was packed solid and there was no more room.  Yet I wasn't bothered or concerned about it. We'd had this furniture for 17 years - yes, that includes the mattress - and it was time for a change. As my realtor put it, the bedroom furniture represented the past, the marriage that had ended. I actually looked forward to upgrading and making the master bedroom a place that looked and felt like me.

Of course, it meant shopping the way I like to shop: on a budget. As I sat in my daughter's dining room waiting for closing day, I scanned furniture sites like Wayfair, Overstock, Target, and of course my fall back, Amazon. I knew I wanted something classic, something that looked fresh without being too modern or trendy, that would stand the test of time. I looked at a lot of furniture, y'all. I'm happy to say I found what I wanted and I couldn't be happier.

I ordered my bed and mattress off of Amazon. I'd bought my son E a Zinus bed whenever his older brother moved to Central Florida and his dad sold the twin bed he'd had before. It's a good solid bed that's also pretty comfortable. Having experience with it before helped make the decision easy. The really nice part about this bed is that all the components come apart and fit inside the headboard. It made unpacking and putting together a breeze. I went with a queen size bed because, even though a king size would easily fit in this bedroom, I had no need for anything larger. That meant, of course, that I also had to buy all new bedding. I found the bedspread and sheets at Costco. I've purchased sheets from Costco before, and not only are they very affordable ($15.99 for the set that includes 4 pillow cases and one each flat and fitted sheets) they are so soft and comfortable! The same is true with this bedspread, which can also be used as a blanket and cost $19.99. I knew I could upgrade the bedding later on if I wanted to, but this is so pretty I'm in no rush. The throw pillows were ones I already had. The walls in the master bedroom are painted in the same sage green as the dining room, a color that is near and dear to my heart. It was easy for me to accessorize because many of my home decor pieces matched or complimented this color. And what about those wood floors?! They are laminate but a good quality, and they look gorgeous! 

  

I ordered the nightstands even before ordering the bed. These are the Picket House Channing nightstands from Walmart, and I love them because they have that classic, traditional look that pairs well with other design styles. I ordered two even though technically I only need one, but symmetry in design is a must for my brain. My original plan was to just get the nightstands and put all my folded clothes in there just as I'd done with my old furniture, but I ran into a problem. These nightstands are much smaller than my old ones, and only have two drawers where my old ones had three. Because of that I went ahead and ordered the matching chest of drawers. I decided against getting a dresser with a mirror because I wanted to find a makeup vanity instead. All the decor seen here are items I had in my old house except for the lamp. I purchased the set at TJ Maxx - or rather, I got them from there for free, thanks to a gift card I'd received. 

I looked for a makeup vanity from several different sites and stores, but all were small and expensive and not what I wanted. Ultimately what I found was a writing desk from Target that fit the bill (it's no longer available at Target but you can find it here):

 

I put it in a corner of the room where I could get some natural light from the window while covering what may not show very clearly in this picture: the internet router (it's behind my makeup on top of the desk). In this development, the association decided they didn't want the unsightly internet boxes in the front of the homes, so they put them in the back. This meant that, to get the best reception, the router would have to be in the room closest to the box (or at least that's what the internet provider explained to me). In my case, it means the master bedroom. This is pretty upsetting, because not only is the router there but so is that ugly cable and another box on the other side of the wall. My hope was that I'd be able to cover it with the vanity, but it didn't look right in the corner, and if I centered it the router would be on the floor in plain view. I needed another solution. This is what I came up with, and I love it.

Yep, curtains! Floor to ceiling curtains that cover everything on the floor but don't cover the window or the views. That was my main concern, and why I originally hesitated to add curtains. I didn't want to cover the windows and the lovely plantation shutters, nor did I want a long curtain rod over the window. Instead, I used two smaller curtain rods on either side, so that the curtains are just decorative. Of course, they're also functional, but they don't appear to be because the internet equipment is nicely hidden.

Here is what the bedroom looks like now whenever you first walk in:

The picture above the bed was in my living room at the old house, but it worked perfectly in here. I bought it years ago from Kirkland's. Other than the lamps, the only new thing here is the rug which I picked up from Ross for $44.99. I wanted something soft and cushy underneath the bed and this one looks and feels so lush! 

 

This is the view from the far left corner. I was using a dining room chair at the vanity for awhile. I looked for a chair for the vanity that would match the headboard on my bed, but they were way too expensive and not the right size. I found this chair at TJ Maxx for $39.99 and it's so perfect it looks like it came with the desk. The chair in the corner is actually a piece from the living room sectional. I thought it looked so good here in the corner and made it not look like a big empty space. The shelf on the wall was in the entryway of our old house. The metal art piece is new; I found it at Hobby Lobby. The wall looked so blank that I knew it needed something. Even my son E said it looked really good there.

The mint green pillows and the throw are from Walmart, and the lumbar pillow was a Target clearance find. I don't like to spend a lot on throw pillows; they can be very pricey and, let's be honest, they go out of style quick. Yes, I can buy pillow covers, but I've been able to find throw pillows for cheaper than some pillow covers - this one was just $8.

Even though I had to completely furnish this bedroom, I'm happy to say I managed to stay under budget. Everything that I bought - including furnishings, bedding, and decor - came to just over $1400.00. Some folks spend that just on the mattress! But even though I furnished it on a budget, it's still a cozy, comfortable room that I can enjoy and relax in.

Just outside my bedroom is the laundry closet, and the other door leads to the next space in this home tour - the master bathroom. Stay tuned!

Let's Take A Tour - The Laundry

If I could point to one space in my old house that I didn't like, it would be the laundry area. My washer and dryer were in a corner in the hot, humid, dusty garage, underneath the water heater.

I loved the washer and dryer themselves; I bought them from Lowe's in 2016 after my washing machine, which was original to the house, finally gave out. These front loaders worked so well and were wallet-friendly, since they use less water than the old style top loaders. But I was constantly having to clean them because of all the dust in the garage. I knew in my new house I would want both a garage and a washer/dryer, but not together.

Thankfully, I was able to get just what I wanted in my new house. Sort of...

Down the hallway next to the kitchen, adjacent to the dry bar, is the a/c unit on the right, the master bedroom straight ahead, and on the left a laundry closet. Not a room, just a closet, but it's not in the garage so that's a plus.

 

It has a working washer and dryer (though older models), and wire shelving above it for storage. I was very thankful for it, but I didn't love it. Heck, I didn't even like it. It was very dirty. The laundry closet is a forgotten space; if, like the previous owner and myself, you don't have a need to do laundry daily, you don't give it a second thought. It's a utilitarian space and nothing more. Until you're moving in your stuff. That's when you start to notice things. Like how sticky the wire racks are because of years of laundry and humidity in the room. Or the amount of dust inside the brackets when you try to clean said wire racks. Then there's the washer and dryer themselves, covered in sticky dirt. I tried to clean them; I used soapy water and microfiber cloths on everything. The washer and dryer I was able to get fairly clean, but those wire racks were a whole other story. No matter how much I tried to clean them they were just as sticky and gross. This needed more than just some basic cleaning. This closet needed a makeover.

I took the wire racks down and replaced them with wood racks that I found at Home Depot for $9.99 each. They aren't solid wood; these are covered in laminate, which is why they're so inexpensive. The brackets were the most expensive part of this makeover. They were $7.47 each but I needed 6 of them to make sure the shelves were secure. They look so good! And they're much easier to keep clean. On the wall I put up hooks to hang my mop, broom, and plastic bags. 

Outside the closet I put up this cute Laundry sign that I picked up at Hobby Lobby for just $9.99. It gave color to this otherwise neutral space.

I changed the light fixture here in the hallway in front of the laundry closet. This was one of those white glass ball fixtures that contractors use in new construction, except this house is over 30 years old and so was the light fixture. I picked this one up from Walmart.com for $16.34. I wanted something in oil rubbed bronze and that wasn't closed, since those tend to get dirty and full of bugs. Can anyone say yuck?! I don't have that problem with this light fixture. 

Just recently I made a few more changes to the laundry hallway. I had this picture on the wall that I got years ago from Kirkland's:

This has been a favorite of mine for years, and I knew I wanted it in my home, but I had to admit it looked small on this particular wall.

I thought about maybe doing a gallery wall here, though I'm not fond of gallery walls. Thankfully my daughter offered me this gorgeous painting:

She had bought it for her bedroom but decided on doing a different color scheme so she asked me if I wanted it. I knew the colors would work with the master bedroom so I said I'd take it. When I saw it, I knew it was perfect for the hallway just ahead of my bedroom.

The size is much better on this wall. I added the runner, a steal at $14.97 from Costco. The colors work beautifully with my decor.

Most of the makeover was done back in March, right before quarantine. It's been a great improvement, but I knew there was more I wanted to do. For starters, the smoke detectors in this house are so old they've yellowed. I don't even understand why there are 2 smoke detectors in this small hallway, but both are dingy looking. I want to get those replaced or at least painted. The bifold doors are another project on my list; they're metal which makes them creaky, and they also have yellowed. I want wood doors, or at least something that looks like wood.

This is the wall behind the washer and dryer, just below the shelves. I didn't realize how stained the wall was until I put the new shelves in. I thought about painting it, maybe even in a contrasting color, but I've decided on something else: wallpaper. I found some on Amazon that I've ordered. Hopefully I can start on this next week. I think it'll give this laundry closet a boost. That, and the flooring...

Again, no one looks at the dingy laundry closet floor but the homeowner, so it's never a priority. But I look at it and I hate it. This linoleum has been here for over 30 years. I took the washer & dryer out and tried to give it a good cleaning, but it's just too old. The color has yellowed and the dirt is encrusted into the grooves, so it won't come out. To take this out and put in ceramic or porcelain tile would be tedious, expensive and unnecessary; only a small piece of the flooring actually shows. Instead, I've found a better and easier alternative: peel and stick tile. I looked at Home Depot and Lowe's but ultimately found what I was looking for on, you guessed it, Amazon. I'm excited to get this project started and to see my vision come to life.

I'll try to remember to take pictures this time as I work on this area ;-). Next up in the home tour: the master bedroom. I can't wait to share this special space!
