My PB + J

there’s no place like home {link-up}

as you all know we have been in the process of moving into our second home but while we have been moving we have also been under a small face lift on our first home in order to place it on the market by tonight. we had all new landscaping, a new garage door and interior doors done (on top of what we did last year: new wood flooring, re-pipe, wall texture and bye-bye popcorn ceilings). our “old” house now looks even more charming and makes me wish we had the landscaping professionally done years ago. but we have moved on and into a home that we plan on staying in forever. i want to take you on a guided empty house tour, even though the walls are now stacked with boxes and we are slowly beginning to brainstorm our mark on the house it’s going to take time, a lot of time. we moved from a 1250 sq. ft house to a 2900 sq. ft house on a half acre, it’s just plain nutty i tell you. my head is still spinning and i am sure it will take some time before i realize it’s really ours but for now i will continue to thank our lucky stars for how truly blessed we are.

we got our keys on the 2nd. 
the drive down our street, we are at the end. 
our house! 

the pool and only a smidgen of the backyard. it will be a very large project before brayden’s 1st birthday. 

the kitchen, there are double ovens, a nook and refrigerator to the left. 

standing in the family room looking towards the front door. i forgot to take a pic of the family room and our room. 

standing in the dining room looking towards the living room. 

right as you walk into the house. the doors straight ahead open into the sun room, aka the playroom. 

master bathroom. 
the existing office, this furniture the owners left will get moved into the garage and our desk will go here along with our old bed. 

laundry room, the most exciting part! i won’t have to go into the scary garage anymore! 

brayden’s room, i forgot to snap a pic of payton’s. 
kids bathroom. 

sun room. 

side of house. 

the coolest thing about the house is that the back fence has two gates, one of which opens directly into our aunt and uncle’s driveway. 
i look forward to sharing the house transformation as we make our mark on our forever house.
