house pictures!

hello, friends. want to see our new house? we went today for the home inspection, and i remembered to bring my camera along!
new house! this is from the listing [it's currently gross and snowy today].

kitchen. we want to add hardwood floors. and eventually upgrade the countertops (they're a weird silvery-gray pattern). and we want to paint the whole bottom floor light gray, maybe with an accent wall of a charcoal gray in the back of the kitchen... we shall see...

living room

the fireplace works! we want to stain the mantle darker.

front living area, kind of funky size but we'll make it work

huuuuge landing. they call it a "loft"

master bedroom. we'll actually be able to fit both our bed AND our dresser in our bedroom! what a concept!

linen closet and big tub

double sink! there's also a huge walk-in closet.
it will be my 'sex & the city' closet!! haha

i might have been posing...

2nd bedroom. we'll be re-painting it and removing that high chair rail

3rd bedroom. we love this room and won't be changing it at all.
and all the bedrooms have walk-in closets!

backyard. josh is trying to hide haha.

we are very excited, and feel really lucky that this has all been able to happen for us. it is honestly a dream come true! ♥

Pantry
double sinks
Awesome tub...

Yay! We have a funny landing like that too. It's weird...what am I supposed to do with that space? It's awkward to put a chair there. Maybe a plant or some cool piece of art? I dunno. Post pictures as you decorate and maybe I'll borrow your idea :)
