A tour...of sorts

I have not been ready to take house pics and post them since we are still working on the house. However, reality kicked in and I had to accept that the house will be an on-going project so it was time to take pictures of how it looks now. It will be different as we hang pictures and finalize curtains and do all the other details. However, this is how it looks at this point...

The welcoming committee is waiting for YOU to come visit!

This is the view from the front door looking into the study and then beyond that to the living room.

Here's our living room, from the kitchen angle.

And looking all the way to the study and the front windows.

This picture was taken from the same spot as the last photo only now we are looking into the kitchen.

Here's our half bath just off the kitchen.

Now we are looking at the eating area and living room beyond it.

D is showing off his room. (I hate the way the light distorted the pictures but instead of trying to get better ones, I just went with what I got so that I could actually post house pics on the blog.) D absolutely loves his room. He thinks it's great to curl up in the massage chair by his window and read or climb into bed at night and turn on the lamp by his bed and read before he sleeps. He's waiting for blue curtains to complete his room.

E is in her purple room. I hope to find a valance to complete her curtains but not sure when that will happen. She has no idea anything is missing. She enjoys playing in her room and is getting better and better at "quiet room time" when the kids are to stay in their respective rooms and play quietly for an extended time.

This is the window in L's room and it shows off our fabulous back yard. We absolutely love playing out back, but it will be some time before we can make it what we want. The previous owners loved the "wild" feel. We tend to prefer a cleaner look so we continue to clean out when we get the chance. It already looks so much better than when we bought the house!

L thinks her pink room is wonderful. It helps that Grandma made her curtains and her comforter is a silk material which she snuggles under at night and often removes from her bed so she can play with it and her babies. L is my pack rat so the fact that you can see the top of her dresser is an absolute miracle!! She just treasures everything!! I have been known to sneak in and clean out when she is busy elsewhere.

This is the master bedroom. It's a fabulous room, but it's the one which has received the least attention. I finally got curtains, but they are not complete.

I'm still missing 2 curtain rods but I do have the curtians. I have a comforter for the bed, but I should return it to the store as it cost more than our mortgage...okay, maybe not but no one should pay so much money for something to just sit on their bed! I continue to look for another comforter but for the picture I put the one I bought since I like it so much and our present one doesn't match at all. You can still see some boxes in the corner. I did say that this has been the last room to see any attention.

Here's the other end of our room.

I just remembered that I didn't include pictures of the school room, but I did put some on another post so you can scroll down and see those to complete the house.
