Our House, Our Home

So, here's some photos of our new house.  The pictures aren't in the order that I'd like but since I'm terrible at moving them around, I think I'll just leave them and let you all look at our crazy photos of our awesome house!

Here's the guest room.  The blinds are closed and hide the trees in the back yard. The cubbies under the window are awesome!

Here's the front room and the front door.  We call it our library.  We have a piano that we got from someone at church.  Now it just needs to be tuned and I'll start practicing again...or at least that is the hope.

Back yard...ours to the fence! We have a small forest!

Same back yard, just to the right.  We have a small shed for the lawn mower and all the yard stuff!

Here's the fireplace in the library!

Front door of the house and on the left is the swing!  My baby loves that swing...and so do I!

Here's the house.  The front door is on the left of the house.

A view of the front yard from the front door!

Another view of the library!

The blue room is our storage/craft/games room.  We will do a lot more to this room but meanwhile it is serving a great purpose. It is a place to put anything until I find it a proper place.

Here's the kitchen!  The fridge is a new purchase.  We decided to go with a  big fridge.  As you can see, SM had to take out the cabinets above the fridge so that it would fit.  We love it!  The counters are granite and so I have to be careful not to brake anything glass.  Only bad thing...no backsplash behind the sink.  I tend to get water on the floor.

And my favorite room...the family room!  At one time this was the garage but they made it into a big family room and built on another garage.

Those double doors behind the couch are storage space...and I use it as my food storage space.  I absolutely love it!

And here it the garage with plenty of space to walk between the cars!  Another love of this house!

Here's the shop that is built onto the garage.  SM is excited to have his own space and I'm excited to have a place to put tools.

Here's a photo of the baby's room.  I haven't ever decorated a house before so I've got a lot of learning to do.  But for now we have the essentials. And as I learn how to balance a baby and be the wife and cook and laundress, I'll be able to do more around the house.

And I'll end with one more photo of our house, our home.
