New House Pictures! Finally!

If you've followed my blog from way back in the beginning and/or you know me really well, then it doesn't come to a surprise that this post has been nearly 2 months in the making. I kept coming up with excuses as to why I couldn't post pictures - we didn't have this shelf put up, or the maids were going to come in a week so I'd wait until then, or the laundry just had to be finished first... the list goes on and on. So after the maids came last week, I snapped some pictures.

Here are a few of our new home sweet home!

Kitchen before we moved in. The picture I took the other day was blurry, so you get the original one - sans appliances. Yes, that's a huge island. And yes, it's still that clean!

A sneak peak of Elayne's room. Once we finish the pink paint and more details, I'll let you in on more. And of course, once it's all finished, I'll be blogging about it. But don't you just LOVE the colors!?

Guest bathroom.

Our small backyard with Murphy's run. Phillip did such a great job building that deck and Murphy loves that dog house! There is some more to the yard, but it's still a bit smaller than we would prefer.

The beautiful living room. While the furniture and accessories have stayed the same throughout our moves, I still love it. And those two huge windows!

Our bedroom. Smaller than the old house, but I think we'll actually be able to decorate it since it isn't as intimidating and we don't need any new furniture.

Our master bath with soaking tub and walk-in closet and shower. Plus, this one has a closed off toilet area - a major plus I'm not sure we'll ever be able to live without now.

I know it's a little dark, but this is our breakfast area. It's very similar to our old house, but the window seat is more functional. The laundry room is that door off to the right there.

And Phillip's room. Yes, this room was meant to be the formal living/dining area and it is right off the front door, but it's perfect for Phillip - and forces him to keep it neat and tidy. Plus, it's a pretty cool statement room to walk into. He has some really cool stuff!

My office is the largest of the three extra bedrooms (sorry Elayne!) but I need the space. It is my office and also serves as a crafting room for all of my junk stuff.

No pictures of the guest room because frankly, it's pretty empty. The only things in there are things that will be moved elsewhere once we have enough energy to tackle the space. It will be complete before guests come to stay with us after Elayne is born. But for now, it sits relatively empty with Murphy's cage inside. That's why there isn't a picture.

I love our house!!
