the big reveal

Here are some pictures of the new house. There is still a lot to be done but we are getting to the point that it is starting to feel like home.
Our front room:
My favorite part of this room is the front light that Jake put up, the wood floors and curtains.







The kitchen: well we pretty much did everything here is a before picture:

And After: Here is were I really brag about my husband. He did the cabinets all by himself. We moved out a wall, took out the saufet, took out a window so we could put in new cabinets, refinished hard wood floors, put in recess lighting, and new countertops. We are getting new windows for the house in a couple of weeks to keep some of the noise out and so we can open them. The old windows were really bad. This is by far my favorite room,






My countertops, my favorite because you can never tell when they are dirty. So my kitchen always looks clean.







Downstairs or TV room. This room we painted, well we painted the whole house including ceilings (what a pain!) and refinished the wood floors. This is also Jakes new couch and TV since the buyers of our old house bought ours from us.





What a cutie, my boys love Geo Trax.

Downstairs bathroom:

Russells room: this is one of my next projects but at least he isn't using a pink blanket any more. Grandma saw it and brought over a red blanket and a picture of Mickey mouse that my brother had as a kid. Russell thought it was the neatest thing! And yes, his bed is still on food storage. Bunk beds are on my to do list!


Landon's room:


The boys bathroom: We tiled the floor. It is nice because there are two rooms.


Upstairs hallway: The master room is actually another level up and it connects to the den or what they called a master suite.

Master bedroom:



Master bathroom: we are still working on it but here it is so far. Another thing Jake did for me was put in my favorite tile. He is so good! I love how it starts


My bathtub before:

And After:

I am currently using my bathtub as a green house. I am attempting to grow tomatoes and peppers from seed here and Russell is growing a Sunflower:


The den / master suite: We're still unpacking...

Hi Russell Say Cheese:


And here is our basement. It is a walk out so it really doesn't feel like a basement. This is what it looks like a lot of the time. The kids take it over with their toys. I think next summer we might try to finish it. But until then play on!


That's our house. I will save pictures of the outside for a day that it isn't covered with snow and when I get more of the weeds under control! It is so nice to be in a bigger house and have lots of room for the kids. We miss you all and hope that we will get lots of visitors since we have more room now :)
