House Tour

 

 Alright, here's the post you've been waiting for.

Pictures of our new house.

We've had the craziest weather since we moved in, it's hailed several times, it's rained for days straight, there has been lightening and thunder and crazy wind.

 

 

I have loved seeing snow on the mountains. I love our views.

 

 

This is what our front room looked like when we first moved in. Empty.

 

The guys from our new ward who helped us move in put this furniture in there.

I put some pictures on them to make it look a little more homey.

 



It made a great ballroom while it was empty.

 





And here's our living room now. We got a bunch of furniture from Sean's Grandma.

 

 

 I'd like to cover the loveseats and then get an area rug and paint the furniture

and put some pictures up on the wall and I think this room will look really good.

It will take a while and be a lot of work.

 



 

Now let's go upstairs.

Upstairs in our loft is our computer. Our desk is in the garage. I want to paint it before we bring it up.

And then I want to put some picture ledges up on the wall behind it and put a collage of pictures.

 



 



 

The doors from left to right are our medicine/towel closet, Ruby's room, Eli's room and the bathroom.

 

 

Hurray for storage!

 



 

Next is Ruby's room.

 

 

 

Since I took this picture, Sean put up curtains in Ruby's and Eli's bedrooms.

Since we don't have blinds yet, we had to put paper up in all the bedroom windows.

One of the joys of a new house!

 

 

The cutest thing in Ruby's room is Ruby.

 

 

Next is Eli's room. Sean has bought Eli lots of sports décor while we still need to put up on the walls.

Pretty much all of the rooms in our house are really boring right now.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the kids' bathroom.

 



 

And here's the master bedroom.

 

 

 

 

I love, love, love our bedroom! It's so nice that it's just a bedroom.

In our apartment it was our bedroom, Ruby's room and Sean's office.

 



 



 

I love having all these books in our room.

Sean and I both enjoying reading in bed at night after the kids are in bed.

 





 

And our closet.

 

 

Our master bath. It isn't huge but it's perfect for us and we love it.

 

 





 



 

Next to our bedroom is Lexi and Avery's.

 



I'm thinking about putting picture ledges above their dresser and do another collage of pictures.

I'm kind of obsessed with those.

I love the look and I love not putting a ton of wholes in our brand new walls.

 



There is one thing hung up in the girls' room.

 



 

 Next to the girls' room is the laundry room.

It isn't exciting but it's awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now we'll go back downstairs. 

Here's the coat closet in the front room.

 

After the coat closet is the bathroom.

 







It's a small bathroom. It has just the essentials.

 



Continuing along that wall, after the bathroom is another closet.

This where I store games, art supplies and toys.

 



 

In this next picture you can see the bathroom door and the toy closet door.

Across from the bathroom door is the down to the basement.

Now we'll go into the great room.

All the rugs, except for the one under the table, are from Sean's Grandma's house.

We plan to put them in our unfinished basement. But for now they're on our main floor.

 





 

We need some more seating and big area rug.

 



Where the recliner is my piano will eventually go.

It's still at my parents' house in Washington.

 





If you look out our window you'll see something very exciting,

one of our neighbors is putting a fence up!

We literally had no fences around our yard when we moved in

so we're excited to now have at least one.

 





I love the way this gallery wall turned out. Now I just need to update the pictures.

See why I'm now obsessed with these picture ledges.

 







Our dinning room chairs are in the garage getting sanded. We're redoing our table too.

We got the folding chairs from Sean's Grandma's house and I love them!

The color matches the gray, white, navy, teal, aqua and yellow color scheme I'm going for.

 





I love my kitchen! It's a dream come true!

It's probably close to the size of all my previous kitchens combined!

 





Since I took these pictures, we've returned this fridge

 and got a new counter depth one that doesn't block the pantry door.

 





 

See what I mean about blocking the pantry door?

 



 

 







This is our first time ever having a pantry!

 



Plus, we have these extra cabinets for food storage.

 





 

And here's our new fridge.

 

 

It fits so much better.

 



 

 

Now, let's go down to the basement.

The stairs are really dusty.

 



At the right of the stairs is bedroom.

 



And the other side of the basement is our future family room, another bathroom and bedroom.

 



But for now, our basement is a giant storage unit.

 



And it's Sean's office. Do you see his computer desk in the corner by the window.

 



 

And last but not least, the garage.

 

Someday we'll be able to park two cars in our three car garage.

 



And that's our house. We feel so lucky to live here.
