Our New House!

Finally I have the right cord to hook up my camera to my computer and upload pictures of our wonderful new home. And I finally found the time when everything was clean and in its place that I could take "after" pictures. Warning: picture over load!

So here we go: This view is of our dining from the living room area, as you can see we have a fireplace, but to be completely honest I absolutely despised the marble and wondered when we would have the money to rip it out and replace with something else but then...

after painting this wall brown I fell in love. The brown walls around it made it stand out and become the focal point of the room instead of just another color of white. I love my fireplace and am super excited for winter to come.

A closer look at the dining room, we have a beautiful view of the mountains out of our windows. I should have waited until after noon to take these pictures so you could see the view but I couldn't be sure how long my house would stay this clean

The living room, on the other side of the fireplace. Someday we will replace that black couch with something that goes better with the room but until then I'm thinking I'll at least re-cover the pillows. I love my huge windows!

The other side of the living room. That is our front door entry way and stairs to the basement on the other side of that wall. Someday, when we get new couches, the tv will go downstairs in the family room and I will do some rearranging with bookshelves and such.

The upstairs bathroom... too much white right?

We took care of that! My amazing friend Ellynn picked out this icy teal color and to be quite honest I was still nervous about it as I was painting, but one trip to Wal-Mart for all the right accessories and it came together beautifully.

This kitchen is what initially drew my attention to this particular place, although I wasn't super fond of the countertops.

The blue changed the hue of the countertops and I'm loving all the compliments I get. (the missing cupboard door was put back on after some TLC from my awesome father-in-law)

Not much to see of Evelyn and Adia's room before...

but after some paint and some cute decals from Costco their room is much more inviting. Its also quite a bit bigger then their last room with plenty of room to grow.

Our room... and my silly husband...

We weren't really certain on a color for our room but Neil really liked the green we used in the dining room, so thats what we did in our room. The giant window is the sliding glass door to our back patio, and once we fix up the back yard I'll post some pictures of that. I plan to get a dark brown bed set to go with our curtains since the cream and green plaid don't really go with the decor of the room, but I haven't had any luck finding anything I love yet.

There are two more bedrooms downstairs along with a bathroom, laundry room, and a giant family room with a second white brick fireplace. The family room currently stands empty but once it becomes more comfortable I'll post pictures. We love our new home and are so excited to finally have a place to call our own. We have awesome neighbors and live in a nice quiet neighborhood, the girls are thriving on so much time spent outside and love to just run everywhere.
