Home Sweet Home!

After being at my mom and dad's house for about 10 months, we have moved into our new home.  I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders...just being settled and having a place again for all of our belongings!

We are so blessed and thankful to have family that is able to help us out - my parents taking us in for so long, and Aaron's mom/step-dad spent a lot of their weekends in January, February and March down here helping Aaron get the tile put into the house, paint the walls, do some low-voltage electrical work and HVAC work on our bonus room.

I have a ton of pics throughout the process - but here are some of the final product...settled in and living in our new house. 

So wonderful!

Our kitchen...from standing in the dining room.  To the right of the kitchen is a door that goes to a mud room/walk-in closet and small laundry room.



The dining room...the first pic was taking from the left corner of this picture.  The floor is actually a porcelain tile that looks like hardwood - Aaron did all of the tilework in the house --- that's all bathrooms and showers, backsplash in the kitchen, and the floors in the mudroom, etc, kitchen, dining and entryway.  He was BUSY!

The living room...taken from standing at the island in the kitchen.  The entry to the left is a little hallway to the master bedroom.

Master Bedroom

 

Master bath from the entry...to the right is our shower, behind the wall is the toilet, and our closet is beyond that.

Master shower...one of Aaron's masterpieces that he worked on!

Standing from the door you would all enter if you came to visit!  To the right is the stairs, front is the living room, a small 1/2 bath is to the left

Small loft area on top of the stairs...perfect little corner for my kids TOYS!  Out of sight downstairs so the mess doesn't overwhelm me!

Full bath upstairs ("kids bath")

Standing in Blake's door...his room is not finished because Aaron is going to build him a bed, but we decided to transition him to the new house in his toddler bed!

 

I did the artwork in the kids rooms, I'm standing at his window for this pic.  Love that they have toy storage in their rooms too :)

Addy's artwork and storage!

Addy's loft-bed that Aaron made for her.  The luckiest girl I know...I'm jealous of her bed!  It turned out super cute :)  This is what Aaron will make for Blake, but a little lower.  They will both have the tables underneath their beds for them to do stuff at.  They have large closets that fit all their clothes and then some...so I didn't have to fit a dresser in their rooms - it has really helped with the organization of all that crazy stuff kids have!

 We also have a bonus room that you enter from right by Blake's room - but it is not completely finished.  It is done up to drywall, so all we need to do is woodwork, paint, and add some carpet in the next few months :)
