Our House!

Okay, better late than never! Here you go. Our house in a nut shell.

From the front door this is what you see. This room we would like to do a remodel. It is going to be a little bit before we can afford it, but I am refusing to do any painting in this room or furnish it until it is remodeled. Is that going to drive me crazy? Probably, but I am looking forward to the remodel!

As I mentioned before I want to redo the fireplace. I want a mantle and storage on it. I am going to look online for more ideas, but that is the jest of it.

We want to knock out the two walls here. Make all the flooring the same. Right now we have carpet, pergo and laminate on this level. We want it to be hardwood. A dark rich color.

Our dining room. I want to take the trim off the walls, but I guess I will wait for the remodel.

Our Kitchen. Pretty good size. One the two walls are ripped out I want an "L" shaped island. It will look and feel so much better. I can't wait.

Before you get to the kitchen from the front room there are some stairs that lead to three bedrooms, bathroom, coat closet, linen closet and a pantry (Mormon Closet: When I was looking at the house with the girls (Hans was at work) I open the door to the pantry and the realtor says, "They are Mormon." I knew as soon as I walked in the door that they were with the statues and artwork that they had. But I was curious why he said that. "Oh yeah, why do you say that?" I asked. "Look at all their food storage." he pointed out. "Haha yeah that is what ours looks like too." Who would have thought that tipped him off. I didn't know that Mormons were the only ones that stored food. Now I know what we are known for in our homes.) 

Our upstairs bathroom.

Master Bedroom: We have not done much with this room, but we would like to at some point.

Arlee's room

Lydia's Room:

This was a house warming present that one of friends gave us. Love it. (In Lydia's room)

From the kitchen you can go down stairs to a bathroom/laundry room, family room and toy room/ guest room.

Laundry room side ^^^^^^

 Bathroom side above and below.

Family Room: We had the sliding glass door replaced from aluminum to vinyl. And it has made a world of difference with the temperature of this room.

 Wood burning stove, work out area and computer room.

The backyard, is fully fenced and landscaped. It has a garden, play structure, sandbox, raspberries, grapes, two big trees, a few small fruit trees lining the back fence (can't remember what they are though) shed, wood pile, bbq area and plenty of room to run and play.

The hill I am going to put a slip and slide on it. It is going to be a blast. I will be on the look out for one this summer.

 Back inside is the toy room.

the little door on the left is a crawl space where we store all our holiday decor, water softner, water heater, baby stuff, etc. It is so nice to have all that storage. It goes under the whole main floor to the garage. I will not go in their very far. Hans does all the storing in there. 

We love our house.
