Every Family has a story...: Home Sweet Home

Well, we're officially moved in and renovated! Jessica Keck posted a bunch of pix of her new casa and it inspired me to do the same. Here is a home tour with a few before and afters of the rooms we did the most work in.

The view from our front porch

Here she is!

And here she is after 14 inches of snow fell on Christmas eve!

Welcome to our new abode

To the left, you'll find the office/front room

Here's is the great room BEFORE...

And here it is AFTER! Braden laid the AWESOME tile and I did the wood.

Great room from the other direction BEFORE

And AFTER!

And the backyard in the summer

Complete with a sandbox!

And here's a look with the snow :)

Laundry room... very exciting. Thanks Braden and Deryk for the stackable washer/dryer. I love it!

Garage, also very exciting.

3rd car garage view - the dark shadowy place in the back is the workbench/tool/man cave.

Back inside. Here's the front door from the inside.

Across from the office is the hallway.

Which leads to this very bizarre bathroom. Someday the garden of Eden will go away... this is not that day.

Brysen's room!

Brylee's room! Her bed frame and box spring are downstairs at the moment... hence her mattress is on the floor.

And the master bedroom. Bought this bedding set for myself for Christmas :) Braden made the nightstands out of our old fence.

The walk in closet! Oh how I've needed this!

A different view. Braden also made that dresser in the corner from our old fence too!

And the master bath. We discovered it has 2 shower heads after we moved in! That was exciting!

Let's open the Brysen gate and go downstairs.

Game/Toy central!

I made these little toy box benches and they work really great as seats for watching movies! There's a super cheap little projector in the middle that plays the movies on the wall. "Kids Only" theater!

Complete with a cute little kiddie space under the stairs. Someday I'll paint cute little shutters around those windows. This is again, not that day.

Guest room...

slash craft/sewing room.

Guest bath - yes that is a VERY green tub. But it's jetted - which is so cool.

Guest room #2 / my home office (gym). All the weights are in the closet. Yes I'm trying to get into some personal training from home. :) Coming soon - treadmill and spin bike!

And Braden's baby - the Theater room! I never really saw the vision of a projector instead of a TV... until now. It is pretty fun!

Oh and Braden even put in a little kitchenette in the back corner! We're ready for movie night! Just let us know when you're coming!

Enough about the house. Here's just a few photos from recent events - I'm the worst blogger ever so here's a 2 month recap! We went to Boise for Brylee and Penny's combined 3rd birthday party which Uncle Steve graciously hosted at his hotel. It was so fun!
