The New Place

Someday I'll get it. I'll figure out how to put pictures up on here in the right order. Until then...
The back porch. If you look beyond the cement wall way in the back that is the apple orchard. I guess there was a late freeze last year so we have only found ONE apple! Sad day huh. Next season I guess.

The super cool, super huge back yard. We LOVE being out here!

My favorite part. The multi-colored carpet. The light is new, the blue was in the entire house except for the brown, indoor/outdoor that is in the kitchen. The brown and blue are going when we can put wood floors in. Nice huh. I bet you all want carpet like this now! :0)

Chloe's room. The colors will match the pictures on the wall, teal, pink brown, etc. The bedspread fits so it is on there for now. I also have some super cute fabric I'm going to make drapes out of. It will be way cute when it is done.

The boy's room. We are going to do a vintage airplane/ Wright brothers theme. Again, everything is a work in progess.

The front. The house is like 30 years old. We are excited for some eventual updates.

My super cute entry way. I found this birdcage at Hobby Lobby for $8.50! Love it!

The family room. Nice, comfy, casual. I didn't want this to be another formal living and it has so far worked out great. Again, I found some super cute fabric to make curtains and we are going to put bookcases on the wall where the chair is someday.

Kitchen and part of the great room. I'm loving having this one huge room!

Another view of the kitchen/great room.

We have lots of dreaming with this home. All of it is going to take a long while to accomplish but we are loving being able to dream. I'll add updated pictures as rooms get done.

It's huge!! I love all the stuff you've done to it thus far. SOOOO cute! I love Logan's & Mason's matching bed/crib, and I can't wait to see the airplanes. That will be way fun. And what a nice big yard for the kids to play in. They've got to love that. Are you guys liking it there? Are you ready for us to come visit yet? ;)
