After many requests... I have finally gotten pictures up of our new house!!! We are so excited to finally have a space of our own and I love having all of our furniture and being able to decorate the way I want to and just making it OUR house. We are so grateful to be fortunate enough to be in a position where we are able to buy and have been so blessed! I posted pictures of the house empty or with their furniture and then after we had moved our stuff in so you can see the difference. Let me warn you... the people we bought the house from had a... interesting choice in paint colors. We plan on changing that VERY soon!
So we bought an end unit town home so this is the view from the street. We have a cute little porch and a pretty good size lot.
Our front door and my Halloween decorations :) you can kind of see the pot of flowers Joanne gave us as a housewarming gift.
So when we moved in, the people had not mowed the lawn for probably a month or more so it was like a jungle in our backyard. Anyone who knows Sean knows he LOVES to mow the lawn so of course, the first night we were there as soon as he got the lawn mower put together he was in the backyard mowing away!
This is what we call the princess room... the people who lived here before had a little girl and she had EVERYTHING princess.....as you can see even the closet is painted as is the ceiling. Like I said before... interesting... Sean insists that it is the first to go!
This is the guest room empty the day we moved in. The color is horrible!! I really do not know what they were thinking!! Ahh! I guess it will keep sean and I something to do over the winter!
Here is the room with our guest bed and furniture in it... it looks comfy huh??Come and stay with us! We had our very first guests come like 4 days after we moved in. Seans cousin Jeff and his wife Lindsey who we absolutely
love came to stay. We loved having them and can't wait to have more guests.
Here is the master bedroom. We couldnt really tell when we first looked at the house because there was so much stuff in it, but it is actually really big! And it has large windows that let in a lot of sunlight which I love. Right outside those windows is the playground for the complex so its a nice view too :)
Our Bathroom....
The shower curtain that took me FOREVER to pick out...
Our new King size bed... We Love it! Sean loves being able to spread out when he sleeps. He said there were 3 things that he could not wait for when we got in the house 1.) our king size bed. 2.) not to have to share a closet with me (ha ha can't blame him) and 3.) the garage!
Get ready for some very yellow paint...practically the whole main level is painted this mustard yellow color. That is going ASAP!
Empty main level.. living room and formal dining room.
Our New couch!Sean wanted one with a chaise so he could lay down and watch football in the winter. We love it! I love this room because it has 4 huge ceiling to floor windows that the sun shines in every morning. It makes me want to get up in the morning (which is amazing in itself)
The main floor powder room empty...
...and decorated!!
Here is the kitchen before we moved in. This house did not need a lot of work but the one thing we felt like we absolutely HAD to do was to get new flooring. The carpet was pretty old and dirty and we got tile in the kitchen so notice the "before" and "after"
TA DA!!!! It looks so so so much better! I love this kitchen! It is a pretty good size and everything looks so nice!
Our Dining room with our new table and chairs!
This house even has a cute "basement"(its ground level) with a fireplace and everything! The sliding glass door goes out to our yard and the play area and the room has beautiful bamboo flooring. I haven't quite decided what to do with this room yet... any ideas??
Anyways, we are really excited and cant wait for this next stage in our life and the adventures it will bring!
Here is a sneak peak at the work we have done on the house... very first thing... goodbye horrid ugly yellow!!!
Sean and I feel like we are expert painters now.. we have spent the last 3-4 weeks painting almost every day! We have had no life at all... but its going to be worth it :) This is our basement... it took 3 1/2 days to finish but now it looks soo good!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! For Halloween we had a few friends over for a little holiday celebration and to carve some pumpkins. (please notice the newly painted walls in the background!)
Sean and I and our very "creative" pumpkins
Lindsey and Justin
Erin and Kyle
And Ashley!! (We missed you ryan!)
For Halloween, back by popular demand.. Sean was "Elf"! You have no idea how long his family has been begging him to break out that costume :) Now they are trying to get him to put it on at Christmas time and skip around the mall.... great!!!!
Lindsey and Justin and Camden! They were superheros!
Sean doing what he loves best.... holding baby Camden (who is not so little anymore!)
