Our First House

SO here it is! Our first house! Itsnt it just the cutest place you've EVER seen? (I love it, can you tell?) If you look close the boys are smiling at the door!

Here is our front door and the new amazing storm door we just had put on! Its also good to note our shout out to our stay in Hong Kong with our Chinese Lions!

Step inside please! Here is the entry way and a very excited Spencer to greet you! He is standing on the stairs and looking into the living room!

Here is what he is looking at! Our living room! And some cute little guys watching Backyardigans!

The living room doubles as the place I do consultations for weddings so we wanted it to look professional and comfortable!

I just found some end tables on KSL so I am excited to refinish them and get them next to the coach! It will help finish it off! The kids do love to hide behind the chairs though so that will put a damper on their Star Wars battles :)

Here is Bjs favorite thing in the whole house... our dying house plant! hahaha

Not the TV silly! He is in love with it! And my Dad and BJ did a beautiful job of taking all the wires and hiding them through the wall into the closet under the stairs!

The walk way there goes into the kitchen and dinning room

I had to take a shot of the TV turned because while my dad was visiting he worked so hard on the TV mount! But it is SO nice to have the kids keep the food in the kitchen and still get to watch TV!

We use our island SO much! I LOVE LOVE LOVE having one! The boys always eat here, color and do homework here and help me cook and make cookies here!

The door back by the coats goes to the garage and the door framed by the wreath and picture is the downstairs bathroom!

And these lovely bar stools I need to recognize because yours truly refinished them! It was my first big refinish job and I kinda love them!

A couple views of the kitchen and dining room! I painted in here one day when BJ was a school and surprised him when he got home! It was a lot of work but I like the way it turned out! And I love that I did it myself!

This window and back door go out to the backyard. Its covered in snow so I didn't get any pics for you!

I made these wall hangings! I needed something big and I had some fabric I wanted to use in the kitchen! It was a fun project because I got to use some big power tools and it makes a big splash in the room!

We inherited this piano from my parents when we moved, its the piano I played as kid! And I hope we can have the boys all learn on it too!

Now lets head upstairs to the toy room!

Graham is still in the crib, he loves it still, I love that he takes great naps and goes right to bed! For now its sill a win- win! (and all the frames on the dresser are evidence I havent hung up all the pics and shelves in here yet...

Toy room closet and our new toy shelves! We are still missing he biggest bin because they were out of stock.. but those 2 bins will hold all the duplo legos! YIPPIE

These organizers are amazing! The boys actually play with one to two bins at a time and are motiviated to help me pick up and put things a way in the right place! ITS A LIFE SAVER!

Thank you Gramzie and Grandad its the best Christmas present EVER!

Graham just didnt want to get dressed .... silly droopy diaper!

Now into the big boys room! The only toys we have inhere are the geo trax and their books!

Here are their bunk beds, dresser, and the foot ball holds all their dress up costumes!

And those two boards are there picture boards! They have close pins on them and they hold all their pictures! It works so much nicer then smiling at them and then throwing them away!

SO I didnt get pics of my room because I am still organizing it! (its a never ending battle!) I also didnt get pics of the bathrooms , backyard or garage... so maybe we can have a round 2 of the home tour!

We love our new house and I am glad I got to show it off a little bit!

Now we just need some visitors......
