Our New House

We're so excited to make the move into our new house!! We take possession March 17, 2006.  Unfortunately we will not be able to move right in as we will need to put up a fence for our "babies" and that means we'll have to wait for the frost to come out of the ground....for those of you "down south" that means the ground is frozen...ha ha, just joking!!

Here's way more pictures of the house than any of you probably want or care to see but I'm just so excited I am posting them all.  The house will look very different when I am able to get in there and decorate to my taste BUT it is so nice and clean and all the walls are very neutral so there's no rooms I have to paint, I will anyways but it's nice that nothing is obnoxiously hideous!

The property is not as big as we wanted, but we will still have a fenced in acre for the dogs....and the property is surrounded by 80 acres of forest backing onto the Moira River...the current owners have permission to walk their husky on it and actually have a gate at the back of the yard for easy access to the forest!  I guess I will be having to make good friends with the older gentleman who owns the land so I can take my dogs and my nieces and nephews down to the water!!

Okay...here goes:

Here's the outside at the front....the husky is owned by the current occupants...the two car garage is already insulated and drywalled and with a heater will be perfect for puppies in the winter...

Picture of the back of the house...I absolutely love the property...it's very private and nicely treed....

Back and side of house.

Front garden

Side yard

Front entrance, looking up into the living room, because of the dogs we'd like to remove this rug and put in wood or laminate floors.

This is picture of front hall, looking into the family room...on the right is the stairs going down to the rec room...on the left is the laundry room.

The family room is my favorite room, it has wood floors, a wood burning fireplace and a patio door to a covered deck...the kitchen overlooks this room.

This is the view looking out the family room patio door...this deck is totally covered....great for puppies in warmer weather.

Obviously the kitchen...this room has a door to the backyard and a railing at the other end, which overlooks the family room.

Beautiful view from the kitchen window...something nice for Todd to look at while doing dishes!

Picture of dining room and part of the living room...hopefully this will be wood floors shortly.

The master bedroom

Master bedroom and view of closets...two closets for me!! Hmm..I wonder where Todd will put his clothes?

This will be Chad's room...obviously he won't want to keep those curtains!!

 

 

Picture of the spare bedroom...

Two sinks in the bathroom.

Can't wait to use this bubble tub!!

One end of the rec room...Chad has already claimed this room...he'll have to fight Todd for it...this room has a brick fireplace, pine bar with fridge, entrance to backyard and a bathroom off it with shower..now if it only had a stove the guys would never leave!

Electric fireplace in the rec room

Nice pine bar in the rec room...
