Real...

A look into my kitchen on a real day.  I almost always turn around and every cabinet door is open and my dishwasher too... plus a counter full of dirty dishes!!!  Why do I always have all these dirty dishes?  Maybe because I like to cook and we like to eat!  Job security for me!

FINALLY.....

We have finally moved in and the dust has settled.... and been dusted, swept, vacuumed, mopped, mopped again, and mopped again.

 

These pictures are sort of what it looks like now.  I finally just took pictures.  I thought, why am I waiting for everything to be cleaned up before I take pictures to post.  There are always things out of place or messed up.  That is just life right?  And, we are constantly moving stuff around to get it kind of the way we want it.  That is the fun part!

 

 

Here is the kitchen. 

This table is very special to me. 

I remember my dad building it when I was a little girl. 

I often joked and said that it was my table.

(I even wrote my name on the underneath side of it.  Maybe I wasn't really joking.)

I am glad it has finally made its way to my kitchen after all these years.

 

Cari is busy hittin' the books. 

 

Here is the pantry.  The shelf on the right has been moved into the living room. 

My dad built it when he was in high school shop class.  I love it too!

 

Here is the living room.  Please ignore Cari's bedside table.  She likes the accessibility of having everything on TOP of her table instead of in the drawers.  (*insert smile*)

 

Yep, still no pictures.  I just can't decide..... 

I am not ready to be patching holes in the walls and touching up paint!

 

 Michael is trying to fold the girls up in their bed.  They are hanging out in the living room until we get their rooms finished upstairs.

 

 

 

 The guest bathroom.

 

Our bedroom. 
I know you are in awe of my mad decorating skillz. 
Please hold the calls.

We have since unpacked these boxes and have two bookshelves in this room.  

I added some cute lamps that I absolutely LOVE. 

I am currently try to decide if I want to move my bed under the window. 
No pictures yet.... 

 

Here is our super duper cozy chair and a half. 

Ask me how I peel myself out of this chair.... 

I love it!

This is my dad and Hannah trying it out.

 

Our bathroom.  I think I could bowl in this room.

 

Our closet.   

 

Yippee, the first time our yard needed to be mowed!  I am so glad we decided to hire this cute lawn guy.  I enjoy staring at him out of my kitchen window.
