I've received a weird number of requests (demands) for pictures of our new house. And while it is a work in progress (and will continue to be), I decided to give in.
The beautiful part is that we went to hang up our mezuzot (parchment mounted on each doorpost) this morning which motivated me to take the rest of these pictures, and as I sat down at the computer to put this post together, it occurs to me that today is September 29th - EXACTLY one month after we closed and officially owned this house. This has been an extremely crazy, busy, and fast-paced month. Through the holidays, birthdays, and traveling, it amazes me what we have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time. We still have pictures to hang and areas to fill, but we are grateful and proud to call this our home. (We are getting ready to replace almost ALL the windows in the house, so please ignore all windows and hideous/nonexistent window treatments.) Enjoy your pictures!
 Home Sweet Home |
 On the right of the entryway is what we're turning into our "office." It has space for a couch and bookshelf that's in Houston with Alyssa now. |  To the left of our entryway is our "formal" dining room. |
 Keep walking forward downstairs, and on the right is our living room. Bonus Points if you can find all 3 sleeping kittens! |  our AMAZING kitchen (still waiting for our microwave to install above the stove) |
 our kitchen dining area with great bay windows (with current hideous blinds) |  downstairs guest room waiting for its furniture when it is returned to us next June |  laundry room downstairs (We love having a room from having the laundry closet in NC!) |
 fenced-in backyard with shed |  covered and fanned (but not yet set up) back porch |
 play area loft upstairs - Ignore the hideous window treatments, and as you may predict, this room will grow and be decorated in time. |  master bedroom on the right of the play room |
 front of master bathroom, unseen tub on left |  back of master bathroom (If you'll notice, our 2 sinks don't even require us to look at each other when we brush our teeth!) |
 patiently waiting to be filled by baby #2 (ONE day...this is no announcement!) |  acting as storage and cat room until a perhaps baby #3...? |
 Gabi decided she wanted to show off her nursery, another room that will grow in time. |  The other side of her nursery. Her bathroom connects with baby 2's room with separate vanity areas. |
 Close up on that cutie! |

I think the best part of these pictures is whats on your TV in the living room picture. Looks fun!

The truth is when I paused the TV and thought that was silly, 'I'm about to walk around the house and take pictures; I should just turn it off' but then I saw that image, I thought "COOL, that's totally going in the picture. That looks fun!" Glad you noticed :)
DeleteNo pictures of the interiors of your cabinets, which are expertly-lined? ;)

ReplyDeleteCozy enough for ignoring schoolwork and playing with your new BFF and your daughter's BFF?
