Our New Little Home: A Home Tour

Well certain people have been bugging me to show them the in and outs of our new place so after many camera slip ups I finally have a home tour to post.  Everything is still a work in progress, but we enjoy living in it right now.  Cole calls it our new little house, and it is a cute little house for our cute little family.

The front of the house still needs a lot of work, new landscaping, power washing, driveway sealed, etc.

The living room: featuring pillows made by me, tables painted by me, and of course the laminate floors Charles put in.

Haven't got a lot up on the walls yet.  That Valentino sign will soon move and a  photo gallery will replace it.

View into the dining room.  The sliding glass door leads to the sunroom which is  the playroom right now.

Charles wasn't really happy that I took this picture of him eating.

At least he got to smile for this one.

I made that "tree with birds in it" picture by the way.  That is its official name.

Here's the view into the kitchen.

If you like the curtains I made them.  If not...er...I don't know where they came from.

Faux granite countertops...painted by me.

Charles put that pantry together for me, it has been a lifesaver and makes the kitchen a lot more functional.

Made that thing too.

Sunroom/Playroom/not usually this clean.

Here is part of the huge deck, which badly needs to be restained.

The back yard.

The back of the house.

The TV room/computer room.  This is a few steps down from the main  floor  that has the living room, dining room and kitchen.  The curtained area leads to the unfinished basement of which I did not take a picture.  It's pretty full of boxes right now.  Yes this room has wood paneling that we plan on painting at some point, but right now we are enjoying its retro charm.  Retro...right?  We did pull up some pretty awful carpet down here.  The linoleum was underneath.

This bathroom is also on the same level as the family room.  I have plans for some pretty paint and some other changes in there as well.  The kids like to shower down there because it has a handicap shower with a built in seat.  Cool.

Upstairs from the main living area are bedrooms (it is a four level split).  Here is Cole's place.  He has the hammer because he just helped me hang the COLE letters, not because he is about to hit his sister with it as it appears.

Here is the girls' room.

Vivien is pretending she sleeps in that bed.  She will, but right now she mostly sleeps with me.

Master bedroom.  The bed is against the wall so that Vivien can sleep on the side without falling out.  If she sleeps in the middle she ends up kicking Charles in the head repeatedly.  Not me for some reason.  HeeHee.

The other side of the room not featured includes his and her closets and a large pile of laundry.

The upstairs bathroom which has two doors, one from the hallway and one  from the master.  The bathrooms in this relatively small house are huge.  They seem like they belong in a bigger place, but I'm not complaining.

Had to include this picture even though the lighting is bad.  10 points if you can find Juliet.

 And that is our house.  We are enjoying it!  Thanks for stopping by.
