The New House!

I wanted to put some pics of the house as it’s coming along.  Just so you know, we’re going to do a lot of work on the kitchen, as well as add a bathroom downstairs (we only have 1).  I decided to forego my obsessive compulsive self and {mostly} take pictures of the house as it is…I straightened a bit, but you’ll see odds and ends and random knick knacks where they don’t really go…not really that big of a deal, is it?

The Outside

Note: All things lace will disappear soon.

Living Room

Kitchen/Breakfast Nook

This is an adorable, badly painted/decorated space.  We will pull up the linoleum for the beautiful wood beneath.  We will also return the cabinets to stained wood and incorporate a new fridge, stove, and dishwasher with new counters.  I am hoping my dad will build some corner benches for the nook beneath the windows.  (not pictured)  All in due time!

Kids’ Rooms {ignore our foot board in Lizzie’s room- we are waiting on some of our bed pieces b/f we can put it together; Rachel and Kate, y’all are so awesome for the bunting and quilt!!}

Note: I painted Lizzie’s room green.  It is my happy color.  ;)

Our room {minus put-together bed}

Note: Phyllis and I painted our room cream instead of lavender.

The bathroom

The basement

Alas, I have taken no pics, but we have 2 bedrooms, a living area, storage, space for a bathroom, and a laundry space.  Yes, I am thrilled!!

  1. Awesome – it is so “you” and looks like you’ve been there a lot longer than you have! Have fun continuing to nest and enjoy your new home. So happy for you :)

  2. Looks great! I think you have more things hung on the walls in your new house then I have in mine (and we’ve been here 6 yrs). You’re super woman! Would love to discuss Luke and Bekah sharing a room. We’re going to move Howie and Caroline together. Would love to know what you learned (tips/dos/don’ts)

  3. It looks great! I always think its fun to see people’s style after moving back from Aberdeen, since none of us actually pick out our own furnishings there. I bet it was really nice to be re-united with all of your things. Do you still like them? Brannon and I didn’t like a lot of our stuff when we came back because our tastes had changed while we were over there. Just curious if yours did or not.

  4. All.The.Space!! I can imagine you are thrilled! :)

  5. What a beautiful house! The basement sounds fantastic!

    I should clarify that the basement is all pretty “rough”- def needs some work, too, to look more like a house and less like space. ;)

    The house is great. The neighborhood is beautiful. Em has done a great job of making this house their home. I loved being there and can’t wait to see what you have done by October when Mike and come.
