House Tour!

 


So the drama is over and we are now home :)  Well the drama for the most part.  The other part includes all the different things that have happened since we moved in here, like the dining room lights not working.  Or the microwave that didn't heat anything up and then just mysteriously turned off. 

But here it is, our new home:

The front steps


Front door

Crazy plants I have to try to keep alive

Pathway to amazing back porch
 The outside of this house is amazing.  There is landscaping everywhere which isn't good for me since I suck at landscaping.  Although I can say that we have spent more time outside here than we ever did at the other house so far. 

Now let's take a look inside:


These crazy tiles will come out when we refinish the floors in the Living Room and Dining Rooms

This is the living room.  This is where we have our couch/love seat and TV set up for now, but eventually this will be a sitting room with just a love seat and a leather ottoman, used for extra seating or a reading room for now.  Hubs still needs to finish the floors in the Family Room before we can move our stuff in there.
 

Through the living room, you enter the Family Room/Kitchen:

This room is gonna be awesome when its done.


My glass bar.


The flooring is currently being patched.  Hubs got most of the flooring installed and then it will be some patch work on the floors and then refinishing and sanding them to make them look awesome.  Progress is slow but it will be amazing when its done.

This will be the main sitting room once it is done.  All the furniture will be in here and I'll be able to watch TV from my new amazing kitchen:







The kitchen is awesome.  I actually love the colored glass on the bar. It is still SUCH a mess though.  Through the kitchen is the dining room. Well its a big circle so the dining room is on the right when you come in the front door and then living room on the left with the steps for upstairs in the middle.  Here is the dining room and the chandelier that almost caused me to get stitches in my chin yesterday:



I love these glass blown lights

There is the chandelier that tried to kill me.


The only place that still has the awful carpet is the steps and this picture does NOT do it justice:



Upstairs we have two bedrooms and a powder room (bathroom and sink, no shower or bathtub), which is kind of weird.










Downstairs through the Family room is the main bathroom and my office:










My favorite part of the house is the outdoors:






I will have to get more pictures of the yard but this is the new digs :)  I love it so far.  I can't wait til we are done with the floors and settled for good!
