Inside Pictures

 So after much drama, here are the pictures of the inside of the new house. Okay, so not much drama, just procrastination ๐Ÿ™‚ There is much to be done to give it the look that I would like. But don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the house as it stands. Its mostly an issue of taste, what I would like in terms of colors and finishes etc.

The chalkboard on the right wall was originally at K-State. When they remodeled the classrooms the former owner got one that they were discarding. Apparently it is attached to the wall so that even Popeye can’t get it off. It weighs over 400 lbs. Good thing is that we are planning to remove that wall. It divides the kitchen area and the family room.
This is the family room. The front door is at the front right of this picture. I don’t like the way we have it arranged but I don’t know how else to do it. That darned wood burning stove is in the most awkward place possible. The wall behind the T.V. is the one I would like to remove.

Like my Rubbermaid blue counter tops? I bought counter top paint, I just haven’t gotten it done yet. I’m thinking about painting the cabinets red. Or red on top and black on the bottom.     
Study. Imagine the baby grand where the china cabinet is. It is still in storage.
Master Bedroom(ish) There are two bedrooms on the first floor, but no master bath associated with either one. So we gave Caleb the one next to the bathroom so he gets the noise ๐Ÿ™‚ and we took the slightly smaller one. Eventually we will combine the two and make a master suite.
Look how clean it is. “Sigh” It never lasts long. But I promise it will be clean if you will to come see us!!

Just for grins I thought I’d show you what my basement looks like! We emptied out the two storage sheds we got when we moved in with my sister-in-law. Yea!!!!! I was so excited to get that second one done. Small bites:) We have one more storage shed but it has a lot of stuff we are going to continue to store, hopefully out here in the shed instead of paying someone to keep it for us. There are old doors I’ve collected, odds and ends of furniture I hate to get rid of, and car parts. We actually have most of the parts for a jeep out there somewhere. I guess its our “someday pile”. (Or the beginnings of one heck of a garage sale this spring.) We have filled the shed here, so it might be a couple of months until we can get the rest. Randy is the master packer, so every time I think we can’t fit anything else out there he rearranges and it magically empties!!
I’ve been so busy at work I haven’t had time to deal with the piles this week. So Sunday I will take another picture and post it. That is my incentive to get it done this weekend. I don’t want you to think we live this way all the time!!

Finally!

Almost five weeks past our scheduled closing. We Finally have a house!
This is the only picture I have right now. But I will be taking lots of before pictures today. I think it will turn out to be a great little place for us.
There are almost 4 acres, with lots of room for the dogs and kids:) The kids are already talking about what animals they want to get, and I’m dreaming of my garden!
Stay tuned for lots of before and after pictures!
