home sweet home.

our little story:

we started looking for houses in may of 2009.

we started with a very low price range and found nothing.

we raised our price range a little. found one. had our hearts broken by a short sale. (nothing about those are short). continued to look. continued to make half hearted offers. made an offer on one house. went camping, decided while camping this was NOT the house for us and when we came home we were going to retract our offer. came home. they had accepted our offer. prayed. fervently. walked through the house FOUR times. made plans. decided it COULD be the house for us. and here we are...

5 beds. 4 floors. 3 baths. 2 car garage. 1 happy family.

i thought i would just should you some of the "inspiration" in our home!

real pictures of rooms completed to follow (when ryan takes them, i can't figure out angles and what not..)

disclaimer: these pictures do not do our lovely home justice and if you really love me you will come see it in person.

our lovely painting. we are doing like a rustic black in our family room. we still need a sectional. but you will see ryan's christmas present (aka the tv) ft. sarah palin at the moment. and our new stand, i love it. but seriously in need of a sectional :(

slightly embarrassing but my favorite room in the house is the guest bath. i love it. it is americana. dark red. i love it. come be our guest you will too! :)

our dining room decor. these are the colors of our kitchen/ dining room. i love them.

our kitchen/living room (before christmas went up..) our new frigdge. which we love. we still need bar stools. but again..it is all a work in progress.

well there you have it. the beginning. there will be more. i promise.

but in the mean time come see it!
