New House Part II--Interior

We had a somewhat sunny day!  I took advantage of that and got a few more interior pictures taken.  The pictures aren't perfect but it will give you an idea of what the house is like.

The left photo is the front entry.  It has hooks on the wall for jackets which is perfect!  It has a stained glass window.  It's not something I would pick if I were building the house, but I love that the house has character.  The door to the left is a half bath.



The photo on the right is the window in the half bath.  I couldn't really get a good picture of the bathroom because it's long and skinny.  I also figured no one really needed a picture of a toilet.  Right?

The photo on the left is the hallway off the entry.  The door to the left is to the living room.  I took the photo from the doorway to the family room.


The photo on the right is the opposite direction looking towards the family room.  The entry to the kitchen is on the left.  Directly to the right is the study.  I'll wait to take pictures of that once we have our desk.  Right now it's just random stuff on a folding table.

Speaking of the kitchen.  Below are some photos.  I was pleased with the size of the kitchen.  The fridge is even full size which isn't that common here.  We have double ovens again, which I love!  The spots on the fridge are Dora stickers.  The owner has two daughters and it made me happy to know that my kids aren't the only ones that put stickers where they aren't supposed to.




The entry to the laundry room is directly to the right of the ovens.  I love the laundry room!  There is a sink!  When you're a mom with three kids, you get excited about things like that.




Here is the living room.  The couches are rentals to use while we wait for our sea shipment.  Funny story, our neighbor two doors down is in Devon's class at school.  The first time she came over to play he gave her tour.  As soon as they walked in he said, "Just so you know, it's all rental furniture."  He's six!  That boy cracks me up.  As you can see from the second photo, we bought a TV.  It was one of our first big purchases here.  Jonathan wouldn't survive without it.  It's sitting on a little Ikea table until our real entertainment center comes. 




The living room is pictured below.  It's pretty small, but we're hoping to get a piano to put in there.


Lastly, our dining room.  The table is also rented.  I would never buy a glass dining table.  I hate all of the fingerprints.  It drives me crazy!  The french doors lead out to the garden.  The dining room is right off of the kitchen and shares a wall with the laundry room.


So many pictures!  Sorry about that.  I think I'll wait and post the upstairs pictures once we get our own furniture.  This house is about 1000 square feet smaller than the one we just moved out of but I really love the layout.  The rooms are smaller but I feel like each room is just the right size.  All of the living areas in our previous home had so much wasted space.  I kind of prefer the coziness.  Good thing, since we'll be here for two years!

Don't ever feel like you are posting too many pictures, we love seeing them! The nice thing about not having all of your stuff is how clean and neat your house looks! We could seriously use a good decluttering!

Jenn: I have enjoyed not having all of our things yet. It really made me realize that I can live without many of the things I thought I needed.

Ashley: We're doing well. I'm so sad that we didn't get together when we were living in CA last year. When we move back, we'll have to catch up.

Mom: I'll try to post some more of the pictures. I'm trying to conserve my internet :)

Erin: I love this house! It's small but I love the layout. I'll get some more pictures up this week. I have some cute ones of the kids.
