A Tour of our New House!

 I've created a picture tour of our new home!


Front Entry Way

As you come in the front door there is a small area with a nice coat closet. The stairs are on the left, and if you go farther you see the great room with the dining table, then the living room to the left and the kitchen to the right.  I have a new dining table ordered, but we are not sure when it will come.


Great Room

I love, love, love this room.  I love the built ins! I love the Teal touches! It is not modern, it is not trendy, but it is me and it feels so peaceful.


Kitchen

The kitchen is very user friendly, with great storage!


The West Wing

This includes a full bath, two bedrooms, one that we are using as an office, and two linen closets.


The Mud Room

This area includes a drop zone, bench with hooks, a broom closet, half bath, pantry and cupboards for small appliance storage.  There is a doorway to the laundry room and another leading to the master bedroom.



Master Suite

Bedroom and bathroom


Bathroom with a toilet room, large shower and tons of storage. There's a door leading to the master closet.  


The Master Closet has a door going into the laundry room! Then the laundry room leads to the mud room.  It's wonderful!

Patio

We love this large walk out patio, it will be really fun in the summer!


Stairs and Basement West Wing

We have nice 4 foot wide stairs. There's a full bath, and two bedrooms. One bedroom will be my sewing/craft room.  All the boxes are a new sewing table!


Family Room

This is the TV area of the big family room.

The back part of the room has a play area, an area that will have a larger table for games and crafts. The bookshelves are full of our picture albums, kids books and other books. The toys will be kept under the stairs and in the closet between the family room and the cold storage room.  I didn't include a picture of our extra large storage room.


The Suite Room

This bedroom has a walk in closet, and a small full bathroom.  There are also reading lights above the bed.

February 2022


Feb. 1 - Hallie falls asleep when she's watching a movie, but claims she hasn't been sleeping, but here's the proof.

Feb. 5 - More basketball! This time it's Maden.  He's improved a lot, and understands the game very well.

Celebrating Hallie! She turns 3 on the 6th. She loved her Paw Patrol party, and so did all her cousins.

Feb. 6 - Hallie's 3! Grandma Beth (my mom!) turned 83 on the 9th! It's fun so celebrate together.   

Feb. 8 - Hallie and I got to go to lunch and go shopping! She chose to go to Tommy Vaughn's, and was so thrilled when they brought her a brownie and ice cream. She loved shopping and chose two baby dolls and a paw patrol microphone thing. 

Hallie loved the puzzle that Aunt Cindy and Uncle Ken got for her birthday. She loved putting it together and carrying it around in the box.

Feb. 12 - This time we get to watch Annie play basketball.  She had such a fun team that love to play together.

Feb. 13 - Brian hosted a Super Bowl party.  The kids were having a great time doing puzzles on my iPad. 

Feb 16 - Beautiful moon out my back door!

Feb. 19 - Now it's Molly and Ryder's turn to play basketball. They are on the same team.  Molly has loved playing and is so excited for practice days and game days.  Ryder loves the running and runs fast up and down the court.  

Feb. 24 - Hallie loves watching tv on my bed, and she loves this baby swing. She looks huge!

Feb. 26 - Go Ryder and Molly!



Now for a big update on the house!

Feb. 1 - We have stairs in the garage! Molly and Hallie are big helpers for their electrician daddy! At least they're good at climbing the ladder.

Feb 2 - Blake put in the can lights outside!

Jared installed the undercounter lighting, Blake put the cord on the stove.

The outside looks so good in the daylight and the night time! I love all the lights.

Feb. 4 - We have handrails! On the patio, the front porch and the garage!

We have running water and a heater in the garage!

Feb 8 - The outside is finished! Carpet installed in some rooms and laid out in the whole house!

Feb. 9 - All the carpet is laid! It looks so good, I love it!

Feb. 10 - House numbers are on!

Feb. 12 - Brian, Randy, Jared and Blake installed all the blinds. Look at the fancy vacuum lines in the carpet. Brian and Jared moved the washer and dryer in!

Feb. 14 - WE CLOSED, WE OWN THE HOUSE! What a wonderful Valentine's present! Brian came down and helped move our bed and some other essentials in.  Ryder came over to see how the bar stools look! We actually slept in our new house! We love it!

Feb 17 - We moved more big things in, along with most of the small stuff from the apartment.  Courtney was a great help and Ryder and Hallie loved riding in the back  of Red to hold up the things there. They loved playing with the toys!  We got internet, but the TV wasn't put up yet, so I watched the Olympics on my iPad. 

Feb 18 - Moving day! Randy and Jared brought all the stuff we had in storage in the shed, and emptied out the apartment! The office is pretty much all set up!

Feb 19 - Brian, Jared and Blake got our big TV set up in the living room! The Olympics were so much better on the huge screen! Our closet is all organized! Hallie is helping with our new vacuum.

Feb 22 - Blake got the big clock that he chose hung up, it wasn't easy.

Feb 25 - I finally got finished decorating the living room.  I love it! It's not modern or trendy, but it is me, and it is peaceful!

Feb 26 - We decided to hang a TV in the office.  Jared came in the the morning to put an outlet up so we won't have cords hanging down.  Randy, Brian and Jared helped Blake put up the mount and hang the TV.  

We absolutely love our home! Stay tuned and I will post a tour of the house!
