Rest of the house

*Photo overload**

Here are the exterior photos. Also the before and after of the basement.

Driving up to the house looks like this- south side of the house.

Also the south side. There's 2 driveways..we don't have access to the "jumbo garage". The door goes into the "porch room".

Above the "jumbo garage" is a living area- it isn't finished -at all. But the owner was here fixing the basement and gave us a tour of it. Jumbo. I think he said the upstairs is just over or under 2000 sq ft. can't remember. Dude that's my house!

This is from the other driveway. North side of the house.

Also north side. this is where our garage is. yes, he has ANOTHER garage. It's just a 2 car, well 1 1/2 car. we can't get both cars in. This is the way we come in.


Entry way from the deck. (I'm standing by the computer desk)

This is what the "landing" looked like. (Standing on the stairs)

Standing by the laundry room looking towards Logan's room.

Here is after: We're going to put the rest of the kids toys back down here, for their play area.

Standing in the doorway to the family room, Logan's room on the right. Beautiful stairs :P Tile on the sides and a blue carpet runner. LOVE the carpet/rug thing!

Here is the after:

Family room-i forgot to take pictures before they came..There were cinder block/paver looking things around the fireplace-bottom left corner. Fake panelling on the wall (kinda see it on the left)..awesome. What did I tell you about the carpet? HOT right!? It just screams 70's. And after: we still need to put our TV back down here. The rock is where the fireplace was.
Another view from Logan's room.

Crafty craftiness

Yes, I'm a dork. But look what I got!! I scared the crap out of the fed-ex guy. I heard tires crunching on the fresh snow, I jumped up, ran from the front room to the back door and ripped it open before he could even get out of the truck. Just a little excited.

I put some vinyl on my kitchen aid.

Made a butterfly mobile for Reagan. I saw this on Silhouette's blog.




I didn't do this with the silhouette. I saw it here--> http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2011/02/diy-scripture-cover-w-handles.html

Totally awesome right?! I have many more plans for my silhouette! And be sure to check out my etsy site! Link is at the top left!

more photos of the house

I was going to put more photos of where we live up and never got around to it. The owner is in the process of ripping out the basement, literally. He's putting up new sheet rock, took the wood fireplace out, took the tile off of the stairs and is putting new carpet on the stairs, landing, and family room. Which is a shame cuz the old carpet was HOT! I took pictures of the "before" so when it's done I'll put the new photos up as well.

This is off of the front/living room (the one with the piano and red couch) it was a porch and they closed it in. Really a pointless room. it's so narrow. So it has my bookcase and rocking chair in it, and some random boxes that I haven't put in the garage yet.

Back in the kitchen. Stairs to the upstairs, pretend you don't see my huge mess... :)

"landing" has toys, mostly baby toys. Then up more steps to our room and Reagan's. There's 4 "closets" on the upper part. the double slider doors, a door next to that and just to the left of the photo is a little cupboard looking thing. So weird.

Looking back towards the stairs.

The rooms up here are very weird. This is obviously Reagan's room. There's no door, maybe cuz there's no window? no clue. the "dresser" is built in, kinda charming. It's freaking cold up here so we put a heater in Rea's room so she won't freeze.

Our room. yes the ceiling is That slanted. Yes I have hit my head...many many times.....wait, what was I saying?

Look where the power outlet is, on the slant. So weird. Don't know why he didn't drop it down.

That's all for now. The only thing left is Brooks room (which may never get shown cuz she can't keep it clean for longer than 5 min) and the basement which has the laundry room, a bathroom, Logan's room and play area and a family room. I'll also take pics of the house itself. I should have taken some before they put siding on. It was green. Like pistachio pudding green. HOT. Then the jumbo gargage (you'll see) was just exposed wood. The place looked abandoned. :)
