Welcome to our Home
I really do love our new home. It was built in the 80's it is a very well built home but somewhat dark inside. Jason and I plan to do a little updating to brighten things up a bit by painting cabinets and walls. You will see what I mean when you look at the pictures. Here is a tour of our new place please excuse the mess I am still unpacking and trying to find a place for everything but many of our friends and family have asked for pictures so here you have it mess and all.
This is the view of the front of our house. It has a 3 car garage lots of space for storing stuff.
This is the view of the back of our house.
There is a nice storage shed in the back for lawn and gardening stuff and bikes. Plus a spot for keeping our wood.
There is an apple and cherry tree in the right hand side of the picture they are hard to see.
The Kitchen
I have big plans for the kitchen. I want to refinish the cabinets. They are nice but I am wanting to brighten up the room. It is very dark so I want to paint the cabinets white and do something similar to the kitchen on the blog Saw dust and paper scraps click on the link to see what this gal has done. I love her kitchen. I also plan to do an entertainment center on the wall of our living room similar to the one on the same blog under the basement remodel. I love it as well.
The Dining Room
The dining room is just off of the kitchen and has carpet that we are not to excited about. Jason wants to replace it with tile or wood flooring. (chalk it up to the someday list)
The Living RoomThe living space in the house is very open you can see the kitchen, dining room and living room standing in any of these rooms they are all connected. I like it in ways but hate that you can see my messy kitchen as soon as you walk in the front door. Which is a silly thing to complain about. It is just good motivator for helping me keep my kitchen cleaner (right). I love having everything on one floor. I like having my family in closer quarters we have to be closer to each other that way.
This is where the wood stove will go in our living room.
The boys room
We will be fitting 4 boys in here just need another bunk bed for the other wall. It will be close quarters but they are okay with it.
Kids Bathroom
Food Storage room
Some day it will have shelves and be nice like our one in Afton.
This is entry way where you come in from the front door.
We decided to put the computer here it is a good open spot where we can monitor what everyone is doing on the computer.
Laundry Room
I love that my laundry room is in a room right off of the kitchen I can shut the door to the mess but hear the buzzer go off when the dryer is done. I don't have to run up and down the stairs for the laundry. ( It is soooo great!)
We planted a little herb garden on the side of the house in a small strip coming up to the front door.
This is the garden spot in the back yard behind the shed and it has a peach tree. We also have an apple and a cherry tree on the north side of the house in the back. We have big plans for our garden but they will have to wait until next year. I am so excited to live in a place that we can grow tomatoes without a green house and we have a Wal-mart (I know some of you are thinking oh brother, but when you have lived in remote places like Afton and Burns for the past 10 years a wal-mart is big). We pulled almost all of weeds out of the garden all ready. It was a big job and Tyler, Corey and Cole were amazingly good helpers. Jason must of threatened them good because they had it almost all done in a day.
