a peek at our new house

our house is definitely not "done" but it's pretty put together

for living here for like 3 weeks

we LOVE the layout of the house

but i could definitely do with carpet that isn't soooo brown

oh well, we're just renting

here's eleanor's room

 this is the dining room right off the kitchen

that extra deep wall back there works great for our book cases

there is  a shared fireplace between this room and the living room

kind of funny but not the worst

can you tell how giant this room is? our table has its leaf in and can seat 8 people

but it still looks tiny in there

here's the kitchen 

we love how big and open it is

there's enough cabinet space for all our stuff! 

we don't even have that much stuff but our old house was tiny

so the whole concept of fitting in our house and not bursting at the seems is novel

 a pantry! i think this is the first time in my life i've had an actual pantry!!

the laundry room

 i always wanted a washtub in the laundry room

i don't use it much but i think it's neat

 the living room

 it is huge and there's totally extra space over there

we're considering getting a piano..

and there's the other half of the fireplace

and a bunch of framed pictures i haven't hung yet

 we picked up a couch off craigslist for $200

i'm not sure if i like it better down here

or if we should put it upstairs in the kids playroom/tvroom

olive and hazel's room

 noah's room

 the chair is where a desk will be as soon as we get one
i'm hoping to find an inexpensive old school desk

  our bathroom

it's huge! 

we love it!

 tub and shower!

 our room is huge and has lots of extra space

we might need more furniture
like a chair or two and bench for the foot of the bed

for now our treadmill is in here

 our master closet

 i don't think this really shows how big it is
i love it

henry's room

 the kids playroom and tv room

this is possibly my favorite room because it has most of the toys

and the mess stays here rather than downstairs 

most of the rooms still need a bit of work

especially artwork and decor 

it's a pretty big change to go from 1300 square feet to 2800

so our furniture and decor are a little sparse here

but we really like it!
