Home Tour

I finally got our house pretty close to clean enough to share. There are definitely still things to clean up and find home for, but I'm feeling pretty good for being in the house for only 2 1/2 weeks :)

Welcome to our home!

When you come in, you choose if you want to go upstairs or down.

If you go upstairs, here is what you'll see:

the bathroom on the right, the master bedroom and a 2nd bedroom on the left.

This is our living room. It's wide open and I love it!

Some of the furniture isn't ours. The previous owners, friends of ours, left some and we'll be taking care of it in the next little while.

The dining area wrapping into the kitchen. The column in the middle is actually our pantry.

This is downstairs. The door straight ahead leads to the garage. The first opening on the right lead up stairs, the 2nd is a storage area under the stairs. The laundry room and a 2nd bathroom are on the left.

These next two pictures are of one long room down stairs. It is also the least put together. One half is going to be an extra couch (hide-a-bed) and the other half is going to be my craft/sewing area.

I'm going to be painting those tall cabinets and then I'll be able to organize my craft area better.

This is our deck. :) The swing and grill aren't ours, but we have our own grill to put up there. One nice thing about the deck is that it's water tight so the area below it stays dry.

Hope you enjoyed your tour! 

We painted!

So we've been in our new house now for almost two weeks and I am sick of unpacking boxes. I think we've done a pretty good job at getting settled and finding things a home. There is still a lot to do but I was just kind of done with it for awhile. I needed something new...so we painted a wall! This is in our entry way and it makes me so happy to look at it! We found the perfect color to emphasize the quilt but also compliment the valance that Scott made me. The quilt is very special. My grandmother hand quilted it and even though it's hard to see the design in the picture it says "Scott & Stephanie  August 9, 2008 Logan Temple" with a detailed picture of the Logan Temple.  Then we put pictures, our engraved servers from our wedding, and my vase with dried roses that has at least one rose from every bouquet Scott has given me. It makes me super happy to look at it. A lot of work has gone into that wall, more than just the painting, and it gives just the touch to make this house become a little more like our home!
