My new place

Warning: there are a lot of pictures in this post, and a good number of them are sideways. I don't know whats going on with that. I went back to bloggers old set up, and I rotate the pics in their file, they rotate there, but when I upload them, blogger uploads them sideways.

Anyway, here is my new house I am renting. With any luck and much blessings from above, we will be here at least a year, preferably two or three. It is just the right size for us, in a great neighborhood, minutes from work, good schools, and an awesome ward. I did't take pics from the outside, but it is a rambler, brick and siding, one car garage. Huge backyard. We love it!

Here is my bedroom, my favorite room in the house. I painted it the same color as the last bedroom, and did it with lots of white furniture and accents. I loved my frame wall before, so I did that again. It is pretty tiny, and has a small closet, but I bought myself a dresser on KSL, and there is more storage just outside my room, so it works.

Here is the dresser I bought. It didn't have a top drawer, which I liked so I could put baskets there. I refinished it, and have found one basket to fit. I am looking for another one.

I absolutely love my bed. I found it on KSL too. It is an antique, with lots of neat distressing. I love how it has the original castors, and how the wood wraps around the mattress.

Here is the top. I think the painting on it is original, but I don't know.

Here is my kitchen. Very little counter space here. And no pantry. But, there is storage elsewhere, and I have adjusted. I love the color of the cabinets, and the wainscotting. It is also very bright.

Here is a pic from the living room.

Here is a pic from the front door. To the right is a nice big coat closet with hooks for backpacks.

Here is a pic from the front door, looking into the kitchen. I worried about this little peek through, cause everyone would see dirty dishes from the front door! But I put an antique pitcher stand thing there, my microwave is on it, and it kind of hides the sink. Unless you are way tall.

I had to put my huge table in the garage, no way would it fit. My mom gave us her little table, she had already finished it just like I like! I bought mismatched chairs, two at a time, on KSL, painted them white and recovered the cushions. I love it. It is a squeeze, but we all fit.

This is downstairs, kind of a wide hallway. It is my craft room, and I didn't even clean it up for you guys! As you can see, some of it is still unfinished. At the end, there is a big cold storage, to the left there is a big storage under the stairs, and to the right is the laundry room.

These pics are out of order! This is from the living room looking down the hall upstairs. To the right, that is a wall of big cabinets. That is where I have some pantry storage, linens, the little girls clothes and some of my clothes.

Here is the upstairs bathroom. I haven't had to share a bathroom with my kids ever. That is somewhat of an adjustment, but ok. The downstairs bathroom is the one the older girls use, and is nice like this one.

The little girls room, in all its dirty and as yet undecorated glory. It is a nice size, and eve with both their beds they have plenty of room to play. It is right next to my room.

Here is the large laundry room. To the right is floor to ceiling shelves, and more storage at the end. This house has lots of storage, it makes me happy!

Here is Michaela's room. Nice size, Paydens is similar in size and right next to hers. It wasn't clean when I was taking these, so its not recorded!

And here is our little family room. To the left is a nice size bookshelf. It was nice to get all my books out of boxes. It is small, but it serves its purpose.

So out of order! Sorry! This is the upstairs living room. I really like this room. All my furniture fit in it, it has hardwood floors, (all the upstairs does except for kitchen and bath), and is very bright. Please excuse the naked windows. I had my white and sheer panels up, but they got knocked off the wall (I hadn't installed them very well) so now they need to be rehung.

A view from the other side of the living room.

And a view of my defunct drapes!

Another view and a question, if you are still reading! What do you think of the two circle things? Too much circle? Or nice and balanced? And that awesome lamp on the table is my $2 yard sale lamp that is worth upwords of $200. Awesomeness. Also that poof on the floor I got for $5, worth $50. Have I ever said how much I love yard sales?

Also, all my fall stuff is out, so thats not usually there. I love this house, we all really like living here. Bountiful is beautiful. I am so glad I chose here, and chose this house. Here's to staying for a long time!
