Our New Country Home

This is the view from our front door. On the right, you can see our cute little decorative well - we've put icicle lights around it for Christmas, so fun!

This is the view out our back doors - simply beautiful fields

Our two car garage (plus many, many empty boxes)

The laundry/utility room as you walk in from the garage

The kitchen - very long, but also very large! The door next to the fridge separates the laundry room, making it much quieter when the laundry is going! And yes, I don't have a dishwasher, but we are thinking about getting one because I HATE washing dishes by hand! :)

Looking into the kitchen/dining room from the living room. Sammy loves the french doors that look onto the backyard and I love them because they let in so much light!

The living room. In the far left is a wood-burning stove. The door in the right of the picture is the bigger of the two bathrooms. On the left just outside of the picture are two large picture windows that look out the front of the house, which also lets in tons of light

This is the front room just inside the front door. I don't really know what to do with this room quite yet, but I am thinking of getting a bench to put next to the door and putting a row of hooks above it to hang coats on or something. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know!

This is the extra bedroom, which we are using as an office. As you can see, for now it is serving as the "throw all" room. This room has so much closet space, it's perfect for office storage. Along the wall where the boxes are now, we are hoping to get a sewing table where I can work on my sewing projects. Along the wall with the window and the wall to the right, we have our glass desk where the computer, printer, and my scrapbooking stuff will be.

This is the other bathroom. Kinda small, with the toilet behind the door. But with the tub/shower in the other bathroom out of order, it is nice to have somewhere else to shower!

This is Sammy's room across the hall from the office and next to the master bedroom. He loves his crib and there is lots of space for him to crawl around and throw his toys.

This is looking into the master bedroom. This room is also very large and has a nice walk-in closet with mirror sliding doors, which also makes the room feel even bigger. One funky thing about this room is that the light is right next to the door and the switch is out in the hallway, crazy huh?

This is looking from the front door into the hallway leading to the bedrooms. You can see into Sammy's room in the back corner of the house.

And here we have our beautiful Christmas tree! Robert has really been a sport in indulging me with all the house repairs I've been anxious to get done and all the decorating that I wanted to do for Christmas. It has really made the atmosphere of our home feel like Christmas with the tree, the lights and putting up gorgeous colored icicle lights on the house (I'll get you a picture of that soon!)
