Welcome to our new home!! We finally got everything mostly put away, and this house will probably never be quite this clean again, so I thought I'd take you on a little virtual tour of the new digs. As you can see from this picture and the one below, I FINALLY got my fabric shelves organized!
And this has now become my favorite room in the house. We're calling it Mommy and Daddy's play room.
I have plenty of room to sew and craft.
I am envisioning some very girly and very fun craft gatherings around this table. I can't wait to invite some friends over and make good use of this space!
Our office space is no longer in our bedroom, which feels great.
The books are no longer within Patrick's reach, as he is not generally allowed in this room. One less temptation for those curious little hands.
The living room and the studio/office through those double doors.
The apple painting made its way out of the kitchen and into the living room. Also, I recovered the piano bench in a really fun, bright fabric from Heather Bailey's Pop Garden line.
Our "quaint" little kitchen and dining area. I really do love this space. It has so much character. But I say "quaint" because we're a bit lacking in storage and work space.
It could quite possibly be that I just have way too many kitchen items, but what can I say? I love to cook. Speaking of which, you can see two little herb plants sitting in the window. I bought some basil and some rosemary and I tried them out this week in a homemade pizza.
Here's the new island in use, providing some much needed counter space.
I used some of the fresh rosemary leaves and mixed them right into the dough.
I brushed the crust with olive oil, then sprinkled with parmesan and garlic powder, topped with sauce, fresh mozzarella, and sliced tomatoes...
...then threw on some of that fresh basil for the last couple minutes in the oven. Yum!
We finally have a usable backyard, which has been so nice for Patrick.
It's divided into a front and back section, which means less to take care of. We're thinking we might get a swing set to put out in the back part.
More of the saltillo tile that's laid throughout the house.
The kids' very cute little bathroom.
Olivia's sweet room.
And a peek into...
...the smallest bathroom in the world!
And that's about it. We are loving our little home and are so excited to have all of our friends, new and old, over for fellowship and of course food. So feel free to invite yourselves :)
