Sooooo, I know you all want a house tour of our new home.
Our other home became so familiar! It was small… and while there were things I disliked about living in a parsonage, that small parsonage was precious to me and my children. I will have memories of it for the rest of my life.
Our new home though…
I must say.
Is beautiful.
Even though this transition has been hard, and there are many more hurdles to come, one thing is certain, we are not lacking in the area of physical comfort.
This post btw is not something I am writing to boast or brag through. I know my family and close friends want to see these types of photos. Since many of them wont be able to see us any more, this is my way of sharing our new home with them. So I do hope no one thinks I am being worldly or boastful here – those are not my intentions.
SO. Here comes the house tour.
I will warn you, there are lots of pictures :)
1st up: The Foyer? aka front Entrance & Half Bath
The Half Bath is right as you walk in our home, to the left.
If you take a right when you walk in, you will enter…
The School Room/Den
We love our school room! Its very spacious.
I also love that it is close to the kitchen.
The Dining Room (formal?? :) – it becomes a work table most days)
As you can see there are boxes to the right we still have to put away.
Beside the dining room, you will then enter…
Our Kitchen
It is actually very similar to our former kitchen!
We eat most of our meals at the smaller table set in the actual kitchen.
Connected to our kitchen is the…
Living Room
It is probably my favorite room in the house.
ITS SO COMFORTABLE!
Alright… if you go up the stairs, you will enter our walk way area.
This walk way area is connected to our laundry room.
As you can see from these photos, today was LAUNDRY day :)
I also had to vacuum the entire house, so that is in the photos too.
Straight up the stairs to the right is the…
Older Boys Bedroom
I recently switched their bedding. There was bedding provided.
I had to wash sheets though, and decided to put the old spider man bedding up.
Our boys were surprising excited about this!
I think it brought back a lot of great memories for them.
The blues in the bedding don’t match the room attire as well as the other bedding.
But thats ok, its a boys bedroom, it doesn’t have to be perfect :)
Right beside the boys bedroom, is…
The Guest Bedroom
Across the hall from that, is our…
Boys Bathroom (aka guest bathroom)
Keep going and you will then reach…
Owen’s Bedroom
I do love Owen’s room. I think his is my 2nd favorite room :)
Now if you back track, to the steps, and take a right down the long hall…
That then enters…
The Master Bedroom
and in our bedroom, you can also access the…
Master Bath
As you can see, I didn’t bother cleaning off the counters for this photo :)
Look beside me and you can see I have a HUGE TUB! That’s a 1st for us.
That concludes my house tour :)
The house has a full basement… ill save those photos for another day. My husband has made himself a MAN CAVE… equip with his gym… and a desk/lamp area for him to study, read, etc…
Its funny, he had all that set up and I had no clue, until I went down to get something out of a box. I like that he has his own space though! I think he likes it too ;-)
Now to those who may wonder, where did all this furniture come from? The bedding isn’t familiar? – the decor different… well, this house was full furnished… that included bedding… decor… and even dishes. Because those who come into this home only stay a year or two, it just makes things easier. This way those moving in, don’t have to rearrange furniture, unload all their boxes, etc…
So all of our stuff, besides a few items, are in the basement of the house. (we kept out a few pieces of furniture, like our boys school tables, a shelf, storage cabinet and toy chest… and obviously toys/clothes).
So when the day comes we have to move… the job will be minimal.
What is so weird though… is that so much of what is in this home, is my taste :) – so it does feel like our home… even though its not our stuff.
Again, we are very blessed!
So thankful for this home.
