THE HOUSE

I'm sure some of you are dying to see our new house. I know I took pics and videos of it, but can't find them-so I took a few just now. So you don't get a pic of the front of the house-sorry. But we love it here! The street has SOOO many kids out playing during the day, it's crazy. It's really great, and to think they'll just be growing up together-they'll always be friends, is just such a great thought.

Going on the tour:

This is the front room, and you're coming in the front door. I personally DON'T like the couch like this, I feel like it's not very welcoming when people come-they have to go around the couch then sit down, but we're "trying it out" And the ugly tv stand is really my sewing table filling in for now. Oh yeah, the couch on the right is part of the "set" I bought for my new living room-however the couch that we had before the one on the left doesn't fit down our stair well, so I don't get my couch set I wanted after all..oh well.

The front room is to the left of the picture-to the right is the entrance from the garage. This is the dining/kitchen area. I can get to the backyard from a sliding door-which is awesome! The kitchen isn't huge, but there's a flat top stove--yeah!, a cupboard for my cookie sheets and a corner pantry that's big enough for me to put ALL my food, what used to be in my basement before (because right now there aren't any shelves in the garage or basement for my food)


Here's the awesome swing set-just like public playgrounds, it's the bomb!..really nice I can even swing when I want-it's not going anywhere!

The kids are sleeping so you don't get to see their rooms-wait I found a pic of Marie's (just have to look in the June folder-dah!)

but one room was already blue and the other was pink, so we left that-and put the boys in the tinier room..and bunked their beds. Their room is pretty small, but the toys are all downstairs so it works out fine.

This is the hall bath, we did NOT pick the paint, we haven't done any paint, in fact the old owner's filled in their holes in the walls and we haven't even done paint touch ups yet..whatever-we're lazy.

Brandon HATES this bathroom, it's too girly with the flower shower curtain (that was nicely left for us) so he always goes downstairs..whatever.

This is the master, it's a good size. On either side of the bed there are reading light sconces. However the old owners had a queen bed not full..so we have to reach a little to turn off the lights-but it's one of the things we liked about the house.

There's a master bathroom (according to House Hunters it's not very MASTER but compared to 1 bathroom in the whole house-we're happy)too, so that's nice-we get our own non-peed on toilet!

When you go down the stairs and turn left, this is half of the family room. I personally believe when we have a house full of teenagers this will be a room..but we'll see what happens.

This is the other half of the downstairs family room. Just our office right now..and it's a big open space to play freeze tag and such.

This is the downstairs bedroom, it's our playroom and I hope to be the guest room if I can convince Eric a guest bed is a necessity.
Downstairs there is also a bathroom I didn't take a pic of and the laundry room.

Hope you enjoyed a taste of our home.
