Our New House

It didn't take as long to find our new home as I thought it would. But it was a long waiting game to make sure everything would go through. After waiting what felt like forever but was like a month and a half we finally got our home!!It is 1904 sq. ft. and has 4 bedrooms. 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs. There are 2 bathrooms. One up, and one down. There is also a Living room upstairs and a family room downstairs. It has a big beautiful kitchen and a dinning room. It also has a big laundry/utility/storage room downstairs. Our home has a 2 car garage and a third one car garage attached to that. it also has a storage shed out back and the back yard is fenced in.

 While we loved the house there were a few things we wanted to change. We wanted to change the color/walls of the whole upstairs. It took us about 4 days and about 9 people helping us to finally get our upstairs painted and put together. The Master Bedroom was the most work. First we had to remove the wall paper.

So after removing wall paper we painted the whole room an Orange Brick color, which I ended up hating. It made the room feel small and dark. 

Attempt one at repainting.

 So we left one of the walls the red and repainted the others white.

We love finally having a closet that we can fit all of our things into, instead of having to use 2 different ones.

We also removed wall paper that was at the end of the hallway

We painted the Hallway, Living room, and Kitchen all the same color, called Arabian Sand, to help give the upstairs a little warmth. It was all a whiteish color that had a hint of blue in it and the living room had a baby blue accent wall which made the room feel old,

We painted the upstairs bathroom a color called Hope Chest which is a grayish color.

The last room upstairs to be taken care of was the baby's room. We painted over some flowers by painting the accent wall in the baby's room white and we painted the floor boards white in that room.

Down stairs in our laundry/utility room we use under the stairs in there to store our camping things and then the rest of the extra space is the dogs room and my craft room. It is so much fun and so nice to have a craft area. Also to have the dogs in their own room is great!

Also I forgot about the dinning room which is upstairs. We removed a flower wall paper and put up a chair rail

So our new house took a little work to get it to look the way we wanted. But in the end it was well worth it. It has been so great being in our own home. I don't know what I like best: knowing that the money we are paying each month wont just disappear after we move like renting does, having an area in the house for the dogs other than my room,  having a fenced back yard I can let the dogs out into, a closet that fits all our stuff so it can be in one room, having a real dinning room table, or a big kitchen, or maybe its a garage to put our cars in. All I know is I feel very blessed and lucky that we found this house.
In our back yard after we moved in we discovered that we had a Black Wasp Beehive in one of our trees. And while it looks really cool it is also scary having it in our yard so we are removing it.

So far this has been the adventures of our new home and we are glad we did it, but we are glad it's done. We love our new home!!!!
