Our New Home!

Here's a little tour of our new home. 

Our house. 

Machine Shed

 Barn

Back Shed and Lot 

This is walking in from the garage. This hallway will serve as a 'mudroom'. The door on the left is another entrance from the driveway. On the right side of the hallway is an office, a coat closet, laundry room, and basement door.

Then you arrive at the kitchen. Their is a lot of cupboard space and I love the island.

The eat-in kitchen holds a good size table and could hold two tables side by side when guests are over. You can also see the main 'front door' which leads to the porch and screen porch and will function as our guest entrance.

From the kitchen you walk into the living room. Our piano and armoire from our bedroom set fit nicely in there.

From the living room you step down one step to the family room.

This is the room where we will spend the most family time. I love the built in bookcases and cabinets and look forward to using the fireplace in the winter. There are french doors between this room and the living room so we can close it off and use it as a room for guests to sleep.

This room also has a door to outside which leads the wrap around porch and to the 'backyard' with the fire ring (we don't plan to use this door much as we don't want outside traffic in and out of this room).

Back in the living room you can see the hallway on the right which lead to the bathroom and our bedroom and the stairs which lead to the girls bedroom and playroom upstairs. 

Our bedroom. We weren't sure that our bedroom furniture would fit very well but we are pleased with how everything fit. Our dresser fits with several inches to spare before the window and our bed with both nightstands fits. Our armoire has never held very many clothes so it functions well as storage in the living room.

The girls bedroom. We (Grandma T) painted this room so it would match the girls bedding. Alice and Anna started sharing a bedroom the first night we stayed here. It took a minimal amount of adjusting and I think they are both enjoying sparing a room.

 Since the girls are sharing a room, we are able to devote the other bedroom upstairs to a playroom (for the time being). It is so nice to have a place for the girls to just play. I only keep toys in this room that are safe for Anna. There is a closet just outside the room in the hallway area (where the bedroom closets also are) which I have devoted to non-baby friendly toys.

I have been very pleased with how our things fit into this house. Most of our stuff we accumulated while at our last (first) house so we bought it to fit there. It's amazing how much we accumulated in the last 3 years!!! The office is still full of boxes and probably will be for quite some time. The rest of the house and garage (by mid-August) is 'settled in' and found their new 'home' here just as we have.
