My New House!

So I wanted my house all painted and updated and decorated before I posted any pictures. (All of you home owners out there are laughing at that comment I am sure.)  I have quickly learned that this is just not possible, or at least with an older home.  And especially one this big (over 2000 square feet! I am use to small apartments!) So slowly and little by little this house will become what I envision it to be, but this is what it is at the moment.

Painting the entry way.  The tan was the original color and was EVERYWHERE

Entry way "after!"

We picked a very bold blue to accent.  I can't wait to do what I am thinking to that wall (it will help tone down the blue too)

Upstairs Living Room

Our bedroom... only painted it gray.  We haven't done anything else to it.  It actually is quite a decent size (picture doesn't really show it... there's a pack n play to the left not even in the picture)

Boys room.  This hasn't really been touched.  The wallpaper on the top kinda stopped us as we didn't know the best way to get it off.

Main level bathroom

Our LOVELY mural in the dining room 

Our LOVELY yellow kitchen (can you hear all of my sarcasm?  It's not BAD, but certainly not my taste.)

Our huge deck.  We are crossing fingers that massive hot tub still works!

Shed and some yard (Our backyard is small since we are on a corner lot.  The biggest part of our yard is on the side.)

Downstairs Bathroom (I think the previous occupants loved yellow...  Just a hunch though.)

Currently the playroom.  Definitely an older style yet again.

The fourth bedroom, which is filled with unpacked boxes :)  Go us!

My pantry under the stairs :)

Laundry room with more storage

Not the prettiest laundry room, but I am grateful just to have my own laundry room!

Downstairs living room.  Another MASSIVE mural with deer!

My food storage room!  It's awesome to have SO much storage! (One of the biggest reasons I loved this house when we first walked through.)

Our 72 hour kits by the back door.

It's definitely not the newest or prettiest (at the moment) but I am excited to make it our own, even though it probably will take longer than we live in the house for.  But hey, every upgrade means we increase the worth of the house!  And that's hard to do with a brand new house.  So in the end it really is worth it. :) (Sometimes I just have to tell myself that when I think how much easier it would have been to just buy a new house instead, already painted and updated.)
