Home Sweet Home...on March 17th

In fear of losing my "favorite daughter" status with my mother, I am posting some pictures of our new house!! We had our inspection last week, so Mike and I took a ton of pictures to get a feel of what rooms we want to change or not change, and I'm posting just a few of those pictures.




This is the master bedroom with an on suite bath AND three, yes three, closets! Woo hoo! PLUS, there is a walk-in closet in the hallway- I don't know what I'm going to do with all the space- guess I'll have to go shopping!


This is the living room that will be our "reading room" because the basement with be the TV room. The kitchen and dining room are to the left of this picture.


This is the quest room where all our friend will lay their heads when they come to visit. I love the yellow, but I'm pretty sure that we are going to make this room a navy and white room, and give it a nautical feel.


And last, but not least, is our dining room with the deck right off it- which is great because we're gonna get a BBQ, and it's convenient to have it right there. Now all I need to do is learn how to barbecue!

So all the bedrooms are upstairs (there is another bedroom that is just like the guest room shown), along with another full bath for guests, and the living room/dining room/kitchen are on the main floor along with a half bath. And downstairs is the basement that we're going to finish, and there is also a place for another half bath, but we're not sure if we want to finish that just yet. Our closing date is March 17th, but the people who live there now won't be moving out till the next day. But it's all good because we prolly won't move in till after Easter because we have the apartment till the end of April.

We are so excited about our first house, and Mike is especially excited about decorating the place, and making it our own. He is OBSESSED with watching HGTV (you must be so proud, mom!), and for date nights we walk through Lowes and Home Depot and just dream! Can't wait for ya'll to come down to visit (and help us paint?! Doesn't that sound fun?)

Very nice honey! Now you have to realize that you don't HAVE to fill all those closets right away - it will come in time, believe me, I remember how big this house seemd when we first moved and now we don't have any spare corners! I love the colors of the rooms already! Don't mean to be a complainer, but would have loved to have seen a bathroom or so and a shot of the kitchen?....looks like a wonderful home tho and I'm happy for you guys. Keep in touch. Love, Mom
