Home #6

Yes, the walls are bare. And yes, some things are still packed or not quite put away...but this is home. I'm determined to try harder to make it so now. For the past 5 years I haven't put much effort into buying extras for our home because I always knew we'd be moving. Being a long-time renter can stifle any desire to invest in a home that isn't yours. But, no more. I'm excited to start finding art for the walls and making this house a warm and welcoming home. So without further ado...


Our home...

And if you drive a buggy, you will be welcome with a nice place to park your horse...yes, my own personal hitching post!

Let's enter through the mud/laundry room. Huge, isn't it?

We are loving all of this space!!

This is the kitchen (looking from the sun room/office)

...from the dining room

Dining room...our little table looks a bit lost. And look...Libby just used the potty!!

...from the living room...

The bathroom...we only have this one and then a small one in the mud room. So far ok, but we'll see how we do being used to 3!

The girls room...

The fabulous, toy-ridden basement. This place is a saving grace! The kids can run free and I don't have to keep it picked up! And this is just one picture, it is huge!

Our view from the back porch...isn't it pretty!

Our fab patio; we are so excited to get a table and have some excellent BBQ's out here! (It is bigger than it looks)

As you can see the living room, office/sun room, and our bedroom are missing. Unfortunately they were not clean enough for pictures yet. I will get them up though because you simply have to see my carpet! We are loving our home...and would love visitors anytime!!

cute house, i'm glad you like it. Last night Matt played v-ball at Terre Hill and I seriously thought about stopping by but figured he would have liked to be along, so i'm saving it for when we can come together. Right now i'm going to go eat a piece of cheesecake and coffee!!! YUM!!
