• House pics!

  One of my xanga pals asked for house pics and I’m always happy to oblige these types of requests. I didn’t take a pic of the master bathroom since hubs was in there, but the garden bath tub is divine. I went for a swim earlier in it. Heavenly!

  

  This is your view as you walk in the front door. My mom bought me all that lovely stuff you’re staring at. She wants to make a wall of fame in the living room. Pics of family, friends and wedding photos. I’m so loving this idea.

  

  She got her idea from this photo collage that my cousin gave me one Christmas.

  

  To your right as you walk in is the huge living room. See? We’re still not done unpacking or moving all the stuff in. TV trays anyone? I love that round chair. So do my niece/nephews, because it spins. And yes, the tree is still up. Cowboy took all the ornaments down tonight, but the tree is still up.

  

  This is the guest bathroom. It’s super close to the front door. My mom loves this color palette. She loves her neutrals.

  

  It’s just a regular tub, but it’s still better than the shower at the apartment. If Cowboy has his way it’s going to be red, white and blue. Methinksno.

  

  Another view of the guest bathroom. That’s our engaged encounter candle in the back. Cowboy has installed some kind of festive air wick thing in there. He’s all about the scents.

  

  This is the smaller guest bedroom to the left of the guest bathroom. This is going to be the office/nursery/make-up studio. It’s not a very big room, but it’d be perfect for an office or nursery. Yes, that’s an air mattress. We needed something for our first house guests to sleep on.

  

  This is the bookcase that Cowboy utilized as his bedside catchall at the apartment. I’m so glad I can see the shelves non cluttered with his junk.

  

  Isn’t my mom a doll? She was so excited to get to decorate our new home. She’s too cute.

  

  This is the closet in this bedroom. It is a walk-in, and still larger than my tiny closet at the apartment.

  

  This is the other guest bedroom. Yes, it’s huge for a guest bedroom. That’s a king size bed. Yes I made that bed tonight before taking these pictures. LOL forever.

  

  See? Still unpacking. This is mostly stuff my family left behind that they didn’t need/couldn’t take. They packed sooo much stuff. 8 footlockers. Wowser. I want to stain the furnitute in here darker. Me likes darker. I am so in love with this floor!

  

  This is the closet in this bedroom. Bigger than the other one and again a walk in. Our guests will hopefully want to stay a bit longer with their deluxe accomodations.

  

  This is the living room. I love love love that table under the TV. I don’t love the cords all crazy, but I love that table. My mom has had it since we lived in Singapore. It’s cane with glass shelving. I don’t have to state at all of Cowboy’s Disney movies anymore. He had a movie tower similar to that CD tower (cringe) in the pic. I loathed it.

  There’s the fireplace. More love.

  

  This is the view of the kitchen from the living room. I have so many dishes/cups/wine glasses. Don’t know where I’m going to store it all. That china cabinet is older than me. It was my parents from their wedding.

  Cowboy recovered those seats.

  

  My mom wants to give us some nice barstools for this area. You can see my beautiful gas stove. I love that I have an island. It’s perfect for food prep/cooking.

  Note the liquor holder. Cowboy wants to note the child crayon drawing on the wall.

  

  Are you seeing how I need more cabinets? I hope so.

  

  That swiffer vac=awesome. Get one!

  

  Yes, all my appliances are red. I love my mixer/food processor.

  

  I also love these canisters.

  

  Not. enough. cabinets.

  

  Yes, I rearranged this cabinet so I could show you that I restocked on my Ground Comino as soon as I posted my post about not having any.

  

  Here’s my messy pantry. Plenty of cleaning utensils

  

  Wine is fully stocked as well.

  

  This lil shelf comes in handy.

  

  The laundry room is right off the kitchen.

  

  This is the closet on the way to the master bedroom. Looks like I do not have enough towels.

  

  This is Cowboy’s dresser in the master bedroom. I have dreams of staining this a dark cherry. I love dark wood. Anything to cover up the crayon.

  

  This is the show rack for shoes in the HUGE master closet.

  

  See? huge! I’m so loving it.

  

  

  This is my side of the bed. That’s my dresser. I want this stained darker, to match my jewelry holder. It’s supposed to hold all my precious shiny objects.

  

  This is the view when you enter the room. Yes I want to change those curtains, immediately, please!

  My mom actually wants those curtains.

  

  This is mostly to show you the flooring. It’s a dark laminate and with our furniture, it looks sick.

  That concludes the house tour. I’m so loving my palace. I can wait to paint, but I know it needs it… soon!
