A tour of our house, hopefully!

 

Well....... Good news is.... we have found our house!!!!!!!!! The bad news is..... we have no place to put it! Bummer, huh!? As nosey as some of you are, I thought I'd go ahead and share some of my faves. (Disregard the decorations- they do not come with it, fortunately!)

 
As you walk into the back door- you walk into this massive laundry room. I love the view of seeing, walking straight through! Before you walk from the laundry to the kitchen- there is a quaint little study/office area- and opposite of that is a guest bath!
While some might be shocked at the flooring- I actually fell in LOVE with it. Although I would have never, ever picked something like this out- I definitely loved it in this house!

Another big plus is my big garden tub. I can't wait to actually take a hot bath again. For the past year- it's been showers only! The hot water heater was too small to fill my tub!

 

One of my top priorities in house hunting was OPEN KITCHEN.... and this house definitely gives you that! I can cook in my kitchen (love the bar by the way) and I can look over to the left and see the den or look forward and see the formal living room. LOVE LOVE LOVE that! I also had 2 living areas on my top priority list, so check that off as well! Did I also mention that the kitchen has 36 drawers????

 

Here is another view of the kitchen, looking over towards the bar. I'm standing as if I just left the formal living room. Once again, disregard the ugly picture's, palm trees, etc. Which, actually, that palm tree is sitting in the perfect place for a christmas tree!!! How exciting!!!

Here is our favorite room, yes, Jeremy even said so himself. The den. It has what you call a "gaming bar" that overlooks the den are. It has many outlets included in it- so you can hook up chargers, ipods, laptops, etc all the while looking at the tv, that is not included, and it has fully equipped surround sound. It also has a fire place, which is another check on my list!!! Although this bar would probably not be high on your list- it was another thing that I absolutely fell in love with!!!

Here is another view of the den. I also LOVED the sectional sofa they had in there, as did Jeremy. After muchy prying, jewing, and negotiating, they still wouldn't sell it to us! DARN!

This is a view of standing in the den- looking back towards the kitchen. You can see that my kitchen has a big L shaped bar- big enough for atleast 6, maybe even 8 bar stools! You can also see to the right of the dining room table- there is a big, blank- wall. ARe you thinking what I'm thinking- that's right- Unky Munky get ready- that china cabinet is coming to canadian!!!!


The house is 2660 square feet in all. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 2 living areas, and a huge open floor plan. I love how the master bedroom is at the front of the house- and the other 3 bedrooms are on the complete opposite end of the house. In the master bath there is the "mans" corner- where he has his own vanity- with 4 drawers- eight cabinets- and a big closet. Then on the other side of the bathroom is MY part- with a 8 foot vanity- lots of cabinets and drawers and a very, big walk in closet. I'm in heaven!!!! When you first look at that part of the house- it gets kind of confusing- but then you start to think about it and think "Hey- I really like this!" Another big plus for us is the big laundry room. It has a sink with 14 cabinets - and 6 drawers as well. It also has room for my deep freeze, and an additional fridge. Love Love Love! I also love that when you walk into the backdoor- it's connected to the master bath- so those nasty, greasy, stinky, smelly clothes that my husband walks in with every day- he gets to go right into the shower- without stepping on my carpet! LOVE! Another thing that we loved is that the 4th bedroom has its completely seperate bathroom. Of course Jaylee will love that when she gets older, yet I also know of a Lolli and Pa, and a Nana and Popo that will thoroughly get their use out of that, without having to take turns in the girls bathroom, or ours!

Overall- we are both in love! This house has every single thing that I ever wanted in a house. If I was to even build my house- this floorplan is what I would use. It just screams family, fun, entertainment. It's not closed, boxy feeling. It's open, spacious, and is just waiting for the first christmas party to be thrown!

Ok, now I'll come back to the real world. What good is this beautiful home, without a place to put it? We actually did have a lease on a place- yet- after finding one of this capacity- it will never settle on ground that is 25 feet of sand. So, big downer there! If you don't mind, please continue to pray for us. We have fallen in love with a house, just need a flat place to put it!
