Our HOUSE is a Very, Very, Very Fine House

So, we FINALLY agreed on a price for this house. I never knew it was so hard to "deal" with sellers of houses. In the end, we got the house for just what we were looking for. We are SO happy about it! Of course, there are still more hoops to jump through...mainly paperwork and inspections, but we should be able to call it OUR HOUSE real soon!

Here's the front. Right inside those walls is the living room. Check out the big windows on the left side. They are so great, and let so much light in.
This is what you see when you walk inside the big double doors. There's a coat closet on the left. If you go left, there is the living room. If you go straight there is the kitchen. Stairs are to the right. You can go 1/2 flight up to the bedrooms or 1/2 flight down to the extra rooms/basement.

This is part of the living room. I love this big fireplace, but I am pretty bummed there is no mantle...WHERE are we going to hang our STOCKINGS?!?!?! (Steven wasn't too happy that was all I was concerned about...haha) Steve said he'd build us a mantle....whew! I was also concerned about washing those windows up there....that'll never happen...haha.

This cute little "den" will be our office. It's right off of the living room. It's the only room with hardwood floors (for now).

Here is the kitchen. I am not thrilled with the cabinets so I am trying to persuade Steve to let me paint them. We will have a table by those huge windows.

If you look out the kitchen/eating area windows, you can see our fabulous deck. It's pretty big and will be great for grilling.

Here's our BIG backyard. Notice the SCREENED in treehouses with a connecting bridge. Steve's cousins are really excited about that.

If you take the steps down from the entryway, here is where you end up. This will be our gameroom where we keep our video games and board games. There is also a bathroom and laundry room on this level as well as a mudroom that connects to the garage. The door you see goes out to the backyard.

Here's the big laundry room! I am excited about the counter and storage space!

Ok, this is my least favorite part of the house that I am just going to have to deal with. This is the bathroom that is on the top level. We will use it fairly often because there isn't a bathroom on the main level. It will also be there for our guests....and it's BROWN (and blue)! I know it could be worse. In our search we found an all PINK bathroom, but still...it's not my favorite.

That's not all of the house, but the most interesting parts. There are three bedrooms upstairs that just look like empty rectangles as well as a less finished "basement" area with lots of storage space.
