House Tour

Since we are almost done, I thought I would do a quick house tour of how great it looks now, before we junk it up with stuff! Follow me on a tour of 124 Laurel:

The front needs some landscaping, but the front porch really made a difference. I think it looks so welcoming:


The paint in the living room is a great color. The tile guy is coming to do the fireplace this week, and I'll be sure to post some pictures when it is done:


I also like the dark green in the dining room. I think at this point, the dining room is going to be the only room in the house without books -- I'll have to think of something.


The girls are both very excited about getting their own rooms. They have each put a lot of thought into color and decoration, and the rooms will be very different. Emily picked purple on the walls, which you can see below, and Molly picked a sunny yellow with her cool chandelier. I think both rooms are going to look fantastic once we get everything in to them -- keeping them that way will be another matter!






Our bathroom and bedroom turned out really well. I love the blue in my room -- the picture doesn't quite do it justice, but it is really blue! The bathroom is simply wonderful. I love the tile that the designer chose and the way we used it as the back splash around the sinks.




My desk area is great as well. Enjoy the below picture, since it is the last time the surface of the desk will be clean! I have promised to try to keep all the flat surfaces (of which there are many) in the front of the house free of piles of stuff, but I have to have one place for piles of paper and my desk will be it. Fortunately it is out of the public area, so no one will be bothered by the piles except me and Jake.


Finally, of course, there is the kitchen and family room. Here are a few more shots of the room and the built in cabinets:




Jake and I are so happy with how the house looks. It will be a great place to live.
