Some pics of our house

Sooo, this isn't the whole house, but its a start. The rest wasn't very tidy, so I will get those later.

Here is the kitchen. Lots of space, I love it. Of course, if we buy the house, I will redo it, but its ok right now. It does need all new appliances, and not just for asthetics. The microwave is touchy, the fridge is all beat up, and the oven is almost as bad. But, I love all the space. I was worried about the tiny island, but it actually has lots of counter space.

One great thing about this kitchen, it has a spot to catch clutter that is not really visable! There is this little "hidden" counter next to the fridge. Joy. That is where all my counter clutter goes.Ha, ha, now I am showing you a pic of my counter clutter. Awesome. Also, it has a nice deep farm style sink. I can fit a lot of dirty dishes in there without anyone seeing them!


Here is the garage door. Off to the right is the pantry, the left is a half bath.

The bath.

The pantry. Is. Huge. I love it. One one side, I have hooks hung for coats and backpacks. One downside of this house; there is no coat closet. At all. So our coats and shoes go in the pantry!

The other side is used for what it is supposed to be for!

Here is a shelf I had Jason make for me, and I finished. He did a great job; I love it!

Here is the living room, open to the kitchen. I made the curtains, and would like some honest feedback. They look to wimpy to me. I didn't want them to be too wide. There are too many windows and not enough wall space for wide, but they still look too wimpy. What do you think?

You can see in the bottom right of this photo that we have the computer desk in here. The only place for it. I spend too much time there now, as its right next to the kitchen. Oh,well!

Here is the litte room off the front door we call the piano room. Not very big, but it is nice to have a separate place for the piano. This room also has french glass doors.

When you walk in, there is no entry way, which bothered me at first. I just put my entry table in the piano room. Works. There is kind of a split level right here, with stairs going up, and stairs going down.


What is left is the downstairs, which has the two older girls rooms and the guest room and a bathroom. Upstairs is the little girls rooms, their bathroom, laundry, and our master. When I get pics of those, I will post!

Love it...your house looks really big. One time I Hung wimp curtains too, the window needed more, so I kept the curtain and added a second layer...I loved it. I'll email you a picture, when we moved I brought them to this house.

Cami, I was excited for your opinion, I am glad you gave one. Your homes always look gorgeous and you have so much experience deocrating. I was thinking of adding another layer, but I wanted white and breezy look to it; would you go with more of the same fabric (another panel on each side) or would you do a different type of fabric? Do you think the white looks good or do you think I should add another color? I will probably make the new curtains as well, so if you have an idea of what kind of fabric, share! Thanks!
