House Pictures

These are for those of you who missed the pictures on the listing. First off is the awesome kitchen that will be decked out with the black appliances already posted. I love the planter shelf (need ideas of how to decorate it, though!) that divides the kitchen from the front room while still allowing light from the big front window into the kitchen. The lighting in the kitchen is wonderful and there is a back door to the right with the laundry room behind the camera(wo)man. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the front room or hallway, but will get more soon!
Here's the laundry room which will seem quite spacious compared to my current laundry space (being preggo, I can't open the doors on my washer and dryer around my tummy) and has a wonderful linen closet (which I plan to use as a pantry) you can see to the right with great, deep shelves and a pocket door to save space and keep the noise down. I'm planning to have Robert build me a simple straight shelf across the space above the washer and dryer for laundry and cleaning supplies.
The first bedroom which will become the office because it is a little smaller and this closet will be great for extra storage with the shelves. Both this room and the other bedroom are on the front of the house with the master on the back and the second bathroom upstairs is at the end of the hallway. One thing I really love about this house is it was built for STORAGE! I get a small coat closet by the front door, a good sized closet in the hallway across from this bedroom and then closet organziers in every closet.
Here is the closet in the second bedroom. You can tell the shelves are a bit wider and the closet goes the whole length of the wall so it will be great for the kids! I plan to get a tension rod so Sam will be able to reach all of his clothes easily and get dressed himself now.
Kids bathroom at the end of the hall. The master and this bathroom are very similar with the master counter/sink space being just at little bit wider.
Inside the master looking at the walk-in closet and door to walk in (that is the office you can see across the hallway). I am so excited for the shelf on top that spans the entire right wall and half of the left. There is an outlet up there, so lights are definitely in the future for a romantic feel :) I would like to paint the wall space between the shelf and the ceiling a dramatic color like a dark red, but Robert is opposed. Any suggestions or ideas?
Inside the master bedroom looking at the master bath on the left and the master walk-in closet (with a pocket door) on the right. One thing that is a little wierd about the master is there are two windows, but the one by the bathroom is tall and really skinny and the other is on the opposite wall, opposite corner and is a typical sized window. Kind of funny, but I love the light it lets in the room, too.
The stairs are just inside the hallway and lead down and to the right to the family room. It takes up the entire lenth of the kitchen and front rooms. We are going to get a bid from the builder about possibly finishing just this space before we move in. The plan is to leave space for a pellet stove in the corner just outside the left side of the picture and put the TV and couches facing the far right wall and leaving the space in between as play space for kiddos.
The cold storage room - soo excited for this very rare feature!!
Inside the bonus room looking at the utility room and the under-the-stairs space with the family room on the right of the picture. The cold storage is just out of the picture to the right.
Looking from the bonus room to the two other bedrooms and bathroom. The triple stud near the right of the picture is where there will be a doorway to these other rooms. That's mostly it, folks! I do have to say, it is alot harder than it looks to take good pictures of a house. I would laugh at the pictures posted on listings for homes and wonder why people didn't take better pictures if they wanted to sell their home. Now I know why! Hope you enjoyed getting a peek at our new digs and we will be sure to post more pictures once we move in!
