A Few Pictures of Our New Home

Well...this is it :). The front of the house could use a little color....but nothing a few flower bushes can't do!
This is the front porch! I'm so excited to have one....I've always wanted a place to relax outside. Now I just need some furniture for the summer time. I think I want white wicker to soften up the dark brown of the house....any other ideas?
And our living room! (btw the front door is 4ft wide - it made moving in really easy). The valence came with the house so I'd like to replace them with a not so gold/fluffy style or I'm going to make some....I just need to decide what color to bring in.
Our bedroom. We have the loving brown wall in but at least it's kinda hidden behind the furniture and drapes...every old house needs one ugly wall right.
This is the girls room. They have their own "walk" in closet and bathroom! So fun! Sadie's crib is on the wall you can't see but her stuff is in there too.
The dinning room. Our table ended up fitting really nicely in this spot and I started doing a little Christmas decorating before we left so those are ornaments hanging from the light.
This is one of the sides of the beautiful built in hutch...I'm finally able to display my china :)
I love this hutch!!! I've always wanted one and right when you walk in our front door your eye automatically goes to this beauty....I wanted to rent this house the moment I saw it :)
"The Nook". I decided to put the girls table in the kitchen nook so that we could do projects and play dough over tile and not carpet....it turned out fitting really well.
This is one of our craigslist find! The house didn't come with a kitchen and our landlords said if we wanted to find one they would take off a week of rent...this stove saved us $152...very cool!
And this is my cute little kitchen. It's small but I think it will be very functional. There is a dishwasher to the left of the sink and cabinets lining the walls above the counters. All of the wood and tile look new and so clean! The house also has central heat and air, fans in every room, a big backyard, a large laundry/service porch off the kitchen -we found our washer and dryer off of craigs list too and I'm so excited to see what if's like to have laundy in my oun home...I'm sure it's great!!!

So we are pretty much all moved in and in a few weeks Keith will be done with scholl and we will take our girls to their new home for the fist time since moving in. We are very excited to settle in and make our first house a home!

Oh, Cara! I'm so jealous of your porch and the hutch. One thing I've always wanted is a hutch for the china I have (esp. now). But our small house is just too small for anything now. Someday. So glad you were able to find such a cute house. You will make it a home in no time. And the kids' room is great. Sad we won't see you in SLO when we visit, but glad you have a new home, will be close to Katie and have friends around, too. Look forward to seeing how God continues to work in your family in your new home. hugs and love to you all

Wonderful and exciting stuff! Pictures are worth their weight in gold, and shows what a special house it is to enjoy. We hope to find one like it someday in a quiet little area, as you know:) God is so good to put this all together for you as you trust Him. The girls are going to love playing in their nook, in the yard, and around on the porch too. Wicker is a great idea...have fun counting the days!!
