House photos

Our plan, after we get our landscaping done, is to have our main entrance be the front door.  For now, though, everybody's using the side entrance.  The first thing you see when you come in that way is the laundry room.

I'm loving the laundry sink, the broom closet, and all the storage.  It's really a far cry from what we had before.

Anna's room and Connor's room are on the left as you come down the hall.  I didn't get a photo of those two, mainly because the kids were playing and had large messes of toys out in their rooms. :)

Their bathroom is on the right.  It's great having two bathrooms, and I'm so glad we finally have that.  Four people sharing one bathroom is just too much!

As you walk the rest of the way down the hall, you come to the open kitchen/dining/living area.  We love having it all open -- it works great for entertaining, and even every day.  It's the main hub of the house, and the place where we spend the most time.

The door you see in the corner of the above photo is to the basement.  The photo below shows the view back down the hall to the laundry room.

Our master bedroom is on the other side of the living area.  It has loads of natural light (just like the rest of the house) and has a large walk-in closet.

The master bath is attached to our room, and it's huge!! It ended up being much bigger than we realized, but well worth it. 

IMG_0160 In this photo you can see my vanity area, which was an added perk I wasn't expecting!

Well that's it for the inside.  Basement photos have been hard to take because of the lighting, but I'll get some uploaded here as soon as I can.

We love the house, and as we approach our six-month anniversary there is nothing we would change about it.  Obviously, all our months of planning and decision-making paid off.  We ended up with a house we're totally crazy about! :)

What's This?? A House Tour?

You got it, folks!  I have 2 videos for you today.  The first is a virtual tour of the main level of our home.  The second is a tour of the basement.  (Keep in mind that the basement is still a work in progress!)

I shot these yesterday with our new HD pocket video camera.  I'm constantly moving the camera (obviously, since this is a walking tour!) so it's a little jumpy from time to time.  But if you haven't been able to see the house yet, now's your chance! :)

Hope you like it!

Mowing Already??

Yes, we are.  Well, technically Jason is.  He mowed for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and then again last Friday.  We had plenty of weeds growing up in the front yard, so Jas set the mower deck up as high as it would go and took care of the weeds.

Last Friday when he mowed, some of the grass we had planted had grown tall enough to be mowed.  Yay!  We still have a few small bare spots, but Jas plans to re-seed the whole yard this fall and take care of that. 

Now we're getting ready to start our patio and landscaping. :)  I can't wait!
