The Grand Tour!

 

I know, I know, I'm a terrible blogger.  But I keep getting pressure from a few certain people to some pics of the house on here.  So, here it is.  Most of it anyway.  I don't think I have taken pics of everything yet.  I keep thinking I'll get around to taking them with things are finished.  But the thing about moving in so quickly, and into a move in ready house, we haven't been in much of a hurry to get much done.  Now I realize this is a lot of pics, but I know most of you will probably never come visit, so I'm giving you every angle.  (Maybe if I left more to your imagination your curiosity would get you out here?  Yeah, probably not.)

If you were a  Southerner, you would start here...from the garage. I don't have any pics of the garage, besides what you can see here, but let me just say, it's wonderful!  2 garage doors, which are finally working, and a storage room off to the side.  We love it!

 Once inside, the first thing you would see is:
 The Half Bath:  Yep, it's a lovely forest green.  I think we'll need a couple coats of primer on this one! The Laundry room is directly across the hallway.  it's just a washer and dryer...if I took a picture you would see the monstrous pile of crap on top of the dryer.  

Followed by the The Kitchen:

And then the Living Room

We are desperately hunting for an affordable entertainment center for this wall, to get our TV out of Tayven's reach mostly.  Hopefully someday soon!  We are finding that most EC's are one inch too small for our new TV.  That must be why everyone is selling them on Craiglist....

I have commitment issues when it comes to hanging things on the walls.  Almost everything on the wall is hanging on an existing nail.  I did move the Temple up a few inches, but that was easy, it's a small space to fill.      Any volunteers to come decorate for me?  

Behind that there wall you have our Formal Dining Room  Play Room.  When it's clean, I love it.  It rarely is, but I figure everyone that walks through our front door (and thus instantly beholds this beautiful sight) either has kids, or expects that we have a kid friendly sight.  And then they can relax and let their kids be kids!  

The Play Room in action.  Tayven's favorite toys are the bins.  He dumps them all out and then where's them as hats and sits in them.  He definitively earns his reputation/nickname, Destructo.  

Here's that front door I mentioned:  

The opposite end of the house is the bedrooms.  We have 3.  I can't find any pictures.  And I have a mountain of laundry on my un-made bed, so maybe you can see them later.  I do, however, have a couple pics of our master bathroom.  

 (Imagine white towels here...we bought some after these were taken)

 

 My very own walk in closet!  Unfortunately, it seems to turn into a playhouse while I get ready, so it's usually a mess of shoes and crap all over.  

Somewhere I have pics of the yard, but I guess that will have to come later!  Hope you have enjoyed the tour!  Maybe this will motivate me to get something done!
