Home Sweet Home

This is the home we bought!! I took these pictures a few months ago on my phone, during the home inspection. We are so happy to have a place to call our own!

Front of house

Back of house. Casey is using the skyscraper old tv antenna as a ladder to the roof. 

Big backyard... Soon to be fenced. Note: The trailer house, and boards on the window of the other blue house, are not an accurate representation of the neighborhood we live in. ;) 

This is the breezeway! I love our breezeway! It connects the back entrance to the house and the garage. That means no rainstorm or blizzard conditions while taking baby and groceries in! Yay!

The Garage

In the breezeway.. How much do you love my old garage door?! I think it's so adorable!

In the breezeway looking out to the driveway.

Now, to the basement!

Looking down from kitchen at the back entry.

In the basement, we have this wood paneled room with saloon doors. Soon to be the man cave of Casey's dreams.

Blurry basement picture (sorry) I would love to make this space a family room someday! There is a random toilet in the corner. Hopefully to be used by the men as they are visiting the man cave ;) 


Blurry basement picture showing storage. At this point in the picture taking, Josey was crying and chasing me!

Here's the kitchen! It's all brand new! I'm also excited to pick out the cabinet hardware myself!

Walk-in pantry underneath the stairs! I can now justify huge Sam's Club trips!

Sunny little laundry room off of kitchen


This is the dining area. We love the open floor plan!

Windows, windows everywhere! Yay!

Living Area

Third bedroom, we are using this as an office and guest room.

Main floor bathroom. Again, everything is brand new!

Josey's Room

She was already enjoying her two closets. I love all the old original woodwork and doors here.

Upstairs! The attic was converted to a master bedroom. One door leads to a bathroom, the other leads to a walk-in closet.

More bedroom.

Master Bathroom


There's our new home!

My family has been living in our new house almost three weeks now. We are settling in, and getting everything put away. My parents, some siblings, and extended family came to visit and help move in. We made quick work of it. Thank you everyone!

We have already done a few projects on the house! We redid the front porch, and built a folding table and shelves in the laundry room. Next we are installing a range hood, maybe a fun backsplash, building a fence, putting in a back patio, and building our own smoker! 

We'll see how soon anything happens, but Casey, Josey and I, are definitely enjoying ourselves in our home sweet home!
