ouR hoUsE

so in case you missed it, we bought a house. we are moved in, unpacked and are getting settled. because i am worried my mom is going to disown me, i have posted some pics for your viewing pleasure.

i would like to preface this post by saying, we have not hung anything yet and i am not a good photographer...basically it looks much cuter in person and we still have a lot of work to do.

here ya go.

the living room

this is the room you walk directly into when you enter the house. this is actually our "formal" living room. mainly for looks. the room was already a pretty light green color so we didn't have to do anything to it. we just need a rug...if stinkin' pottery barn would ever put the one i want on sale.

the dining room/kitchen

this is one of the areas that really sold us on the house. the kitchen/dining room/family room are all fairly open...as open as a house from 1956 gets. this room was all white and the wall in the dining room was wallpaper. we removed the wallpaper and painted the whole area gray. one of my favorite features of the house is the open shelving so i can show off all my fiestaware! we are planning on redoing the backsplash.

the family room

this room is super comfy. you can't tell from the pics, but the ceiling is a really light turquoise. the room also has a gas fireplace, which i am obsessed with.

the guest bedrooom

this room was a light yellow, with a hideous ceiling fan. my dad changed the ceiling fan and we painted it a dark blue.


the master bedroom/bathroom

this room was already painted a fabulous dark teal shade that we love. the previous owners redid the tiny little bathroom. it has toile wallpaper and great little additions. it's small, but we love it.

we also have a cutie screened in porch and a great patio/backyard that i did not include pictures of. don't worry, once we stop getting random freezes here, we will plant some flowers and i'll post some pics. fortunately for you, i also did not include pictures of the office or the 50's style, pink bathroom. the office turned out a horrible shade of green and it is currently the "throw everything we don't know what to do with" room.

from looking at the pictures, i realize that i really need to hang things on the walls. don't worry, i'm certain that when i tell my mom about new additions to the house, she will hound me to post pictures. so you may just be lucky enough to get to watch as our little home becomes cuter and cuter. i know, you're thrilled.

so there it is. our cozy, little casa. we love it and feel very blessed to be homeowners.
