YES! We are now homeowners! As I stated in my previous blog post we bought a house! We love our new home and it's even better than we remember it being from our initial walk through of it! So far I love owning my own home and getting to do all kinds of cool, decorative stuff to it.
Our son, also LOVES the new house! Especially the back yard with the swing set and playhouse!
So, here is our new abode! It's a spacious 3-4 bedroom ranch style home with 2 full bathrooms, a finished basement, big garage, and nice fenced in back yard.

We took the closet doors off and added this orange curtain because I had to my dresser in the closet.
This is the third room on the main floor. (The curtains are no longer in the middle of the floor). It is currently holding some of Elisha's old baby items in the closet and my Sis in law used it as a guest room when she stayed here last week. We are keeping the chartreuse color on the walls. We are hoping to eventually make this room a nursery in the future;)
Basement rec area.
Basement full bathroom and laundry room combo.
Office/craft space in the basement.
Garage!
Ignore the box mess. I really like our big garage, but it still needs some organization!
Well, that concludes the tour of our new home! I still have some work to do especially in the basement in the garage, but so far I'm really enjoying the house and I'm having fun making it our home! |
