Photo Tour of Our New Home

 Walking in from the front door. Hi, Brie!

 Looking in, to the right, from about the place where Brie was standing in previous photo

 Standing in same place, getting the right side. This is our pantry closet right across from the kitchen

 Inside of pantry closet. I love how deep it is!

 Standing in kitchen looking at dining area

Standing in dining area looking toward kitchen. From the left you see the stairway going up to the kid rooms and bathroom, the stairway going down to the family room and master bed/bath, the pantry closet complete with nook above it (don't know WHAT to put there!), the doorway  leading to the front entryway, and the kitchen

 Sliding glass door leading to the deck

 Our stove that sits in the peninsula. I thought this was a little weird at first, but I'm used to it now.

 Skylight in the kitchen. There is another one like this above the main entryway, minus the ceiling lights

 The stairways again

 Brie's room, which is one the right going up the stairs

 The girls' bathroom, which is still blue and decorated with Hello Kitty decor. Lots of pink involved.

 Chelsea and Abby's room, which is on the left after going up the stairs

 Looking down the main stairway. The laundry area is just off the bottom of the stairs on the right.

 Looking straight into the doorway at the bottom of the stairs. There is now a washer and dryer in place and fully functioning!

Looking to the right from the same doorway we have our furnace and water heater, both of which are in full working order once again. (The furnace had some issues which we got fixed, but the water heater has always been a-ok.)

 Den/family room/living area at the bottom of the stairs. It looks smaller without the furniture. It's actually a decent sized room.

 Stair wall on the left, looking straight into master bedroom, and the master bath is the door on the left. The master bath isn't IN the master bedroom, so maybe it wouldn't be considered a master bath technically. But we like to call it that anyway. :)

 Looking into the master bath
 Our vanity. My sink is the far sink, Rick's is the near one. In the middle I've set up a diaper changing station.

 Yes, I took a picture of our toilet. I thought the nook was quite spacious.

 I LOVE our jacuzzi tub. It takes about half and hour to fill up enough to use the jets, but it's worth it. The girls have taken several baths/swims in it and think it's pretty peachy also.

 Master bedroom.

 Full sized his and her closets. Love it! Mine is still mostly empty with bunches of stuff sitting on the floor in front of it, waiting to be organized and placed INSIDE the closet. Someday. Someday. We've only lived here a month, why would it be done already? Psh. (That is mostly why I'm doing lots of "before" pictures. The "after" ones are still unorganized and messy looking aka embarrassing!)

Main entryway again only looking down from where Brie was standing. The main door is straight down, the other leads into the garage.

 Our back yard, all fenced in, complete with sprinkler system. 

 The previous owner, TJ, left this for us. He's military so downgrading when you move isn't uncommon. He also left a nifty weather station and several shelving units that have come in handy for us. He liked having an excuse to buy something new at his new location. We were happy to help give him that excuse.

 Our lovely deck

 A couple moving in shots. 


 I love the expression on the guy carrying the couch (the guy that is not Rick I mean.)

 Pizza for the movers! Thanks for all the help, everyone!

 Bye bye to the blow up mattress at Grandma's. We were not ready to sleep in our new place the first night after moving everything, so we stayed one last night at Grandma's.

 See? There really is furniture in our new place! I'm standing on the stairs taking the photo. Rick is working hard to alphabetize the movies. It looks more homey now. This room is mostly settled now. I still need to find my picture frames. My walls are naked!

The girls get along very well together. This photo wraps up my photos from January. I'm only a month and a half behind on the blog now! I hope you have enjoyed looking at our new home. We are loving it! The girls love their rooms and having their toys and games back. We are all very happy!

It looks nice! I like the picture of all the girls on the deflated air mattress. The only thing I can think of to put in that nook above the pantry would be fake plants.

It looks like a really nice place you guys got. I'm looking forward to seeing some after shots too. I like how all the girls are so cozy with each other. :)
