♥ I found it...

I FOUND my camera yesterday! Finally. It's only been over a week and a half. It was in an ice chest.

So here are the before pictures with crappy paint and non shampooed carpets etc...

This is the front door. The paint in the front room is this hideous and depressing gray. Now it's not so depressing. I actually want to be in the front room! The front door has a pretty etched glass with Calla lilies.

The hallway.

The kitchen! Don't you just love the BRIGHT blue counter tops. They're not my favorite but someday we might get to change them! These pictures were taken the very first day we got here and we'd just unloaded the whole car so it's a little disastrous.

Dining room. I love how big it is. The people who owned it before us left this table. Which was really nice to have until we got ours over here.

Another kitchen shot. I love the big shelf at the back.

Pantry closet.

Mud room. It's a good thing that there is one! I've already used the utility sink for cleaning MUD off the kids shoes...

The little utility area and a freezer...

The master bedroom...

A different angle of the master bedroom...



Master bath. I'm not a fan of the sliding glass doors. We're thinking about taking them off.

Eliza & Olivia's room. Can you see the mural they had painted all over the walls. It looked like it was really cute but this is what we came in too... A paint job done 1/2 way!!!

Another angle of it! It's a really big room... Nice big closet with shelves.

Lane's room. I couldn't get a very good shot. His and Emma's rooms are pretty small.

Emma's room which is the smallest of all. We're having a hard time getting everything she wants in it.

The kids bathroom.

This is a little pantry behind the door in the kids bathroom. It's so nice to actually have space for bathroom stuff!

So all in all it's not a mansion by any means but it's great for us and it's nice to have enough room all the kids. The kids love it and everything just feels right. Now if I could just get everything put away!!!

Here are some pictures of the kids playing in the back yard! Can you see Lane's feet? He was jumping up and down... and the camera got it with both feet off...

FIrst do you see Olivias hair in the last pic of her. LOVE IT.

Love all the rooms. I wish I could get away with half a paint job and sell a house hehe

Glad you found our camera.

Oh and that little table they left. I am sure its helped but really how much. its teeny. hehe

Love the back yard. Build some cement retaining walls to keep them in and you can relax with scrap book stuff or blogging ect.

What town in Montana are you in (or close to)? I bet it's nice to finally have a place to call home again. That one acre of land is probably so wonderful. Glad you're back blogging!

Summer said...

Your house looks nice! The kitchen looks like a nice size and the cupboards look good. At least you don't have orange or crap colored counters. hahahaha
That's neat you guys have horses for neighbors..if Lane can leave them alone. ;)

Jenn said...

IN the ice box? ha ha! Your new house looks great! And is your yard as big as it looks? And that wide open? That is pretty cool.

raising4boys said...

In the ice chest? So glad you found it at least. Looks like a great house, but it will be even better when you make it your own with your own things.

How great that it feels right. Moving is so much work. It looks like Olivia's feet are off the ground to me too. What an awesome yard for them to play in.

Home Sweet Home!

Jaime said...

The house looks great! I bet you are loving having your own place to finally call HOME! Congrats! Hope all continues to go well.

Debra said...

What a great home!!! It is like a clean canvas just WAITING for you to put your touches on it. I LOVE homes like that!!!

Oh man.. that mural looked FANTASTIC!!! Too bad they started painting it :-(

For Emma's room... a HIGHLY recommend a loft bed. Is Joe good with tools? He could build one SO easily. Then you can put the chest and desk, etc... under the bed.

Laura said...

Looks great! I hope you can unpack and enjoy all that space! It must feel amazing!
