Tour Tuesday: Main Level Bathroom and Kitchen

Tour Tuesday One

Tour Tuesday Two

Here is the bathroom on the main level. It was really hard to take photos of since it's so small. I love the color we Tim painted it. For some reason, it shows up kinda pinkish, but it is not. It's a brick red.

That side shows the color a lot better.

And here is our kitchen. I love having a much larger kitchen. I love having an ice maker too...it's those simple things ya know!

Next weeks tour....I have no idea...whatever gets cleaned up next! Possibly the master bedroom, closet and bath!

Tour Tuesday: Hallway, Family Room, Play Room

Continuing with the Home Tour....




{ Hallway / Going down the stairs }

{ Looking up the stairs }

{ Play Room / Family Room }

I'm still moving things around every few days and hanging more and more on the walls when I come across another random unopened box. I so love this house and haven't missed our old house for one split second!


Next week, the kitchen!

Tour Tuesday: The Girl's Rooms and Bathroom!

This is the first of our little "home tour" that I will be doing each Tuesday! I hope you enjoy! Of course everything isn't as perfect as I would like but I have four kids, what do you expect! I barely have any time these days and when I do, well I just want to rest my eyes! HeHe!

These are the girls rooms and bathroom! Oh how I love that they have their own bathroom! 


I love that I decided to paint the walls purple and I love the moldings in both rooms! It's so fun and girly for my little ladies! Both rooms are painted Winter Amethyst by Behr. { Asked by Dale Budd - would you send me an email please! :) } Then in Emily's room there are accent molding pieces on the bottom, but I cannot remember the color. All I know is that it was on the same set of 4 colors as Winter Amethyst at Home Depot.

I love how everything is turning out! I still have some stuff to put on the shelves and on the walls so when I get around to it, I will! Ya know how things go...


{ THE BIG GIRLS ROOM }

I found these knobs at Lowe's and I put them on all the closet doors! I just loved them!

{ EMILY'S ROOM/UPSTAIRS PLAY ROOM }

We still haven't bought a crib for Emily. We will be very soon though!

Still waiting to hang some more stuff on the walls.

Yes, I need to fill the frames with photos.....

{ THE GIRL'S BATHROOM }

The colors aren't coming up great in the photos, I must have had my camera on the wrong setting. The wall color is like a celery, it's really bright and pretty and the accents are in the white and like bubble-gum color pink! It looks so cute in person! I want to get some more wall stuff and bright cheerful, girly things to put in there!

I LOVE seeing three little toothbrushes in their bathroom!

Stay tuned for next week! I think it'll be the hallway, kitchen, playroom and family room!

Birth Stat Prints!

A few months ago I saw this post on a friend's blog and I had been dying to get some of these done for my girls too. I tried to figure it out on my own but apparently I just couldn't get it right!

So, I emailed Lindsey and she hooked us up with some super cute Birth Stat Prints!

So, the day I received them, I ran to Joann Fabrics and bought some frames and up they went on the walls! The colors weren't as vibrant as I hoped when printed on the card stock and the purple looks a little blueish/periwinkle to me, but all and all I am totally happy with the way they came out! 

Emily has one too, I just didn't get a photo this time.


Stay tuned for a tour of our home each week on Tuesdays! The first "Tour Tuesday" starting next week will be the girl's rooms!

Our New Home!

The rest of this month and the beginning of next month, we will be packing up our house and moving! We found a beautiful home, with lots of SPACE and perks just about 30 minutes from our house now. Not to mention it is 5 minutes from Nana's house and 5 minutes from Aunt Kim and Uncle Roger's house!!!!!

The front yard needs some work, but of course it's the middle of winter, so what do you expect?! I can't wait to have some flowers blooming, grass and shrubs. Oh and of course my American Flag flying!

The space in our current house is just not enough and our electric bills are out of control, even though we have done everything to keep them down. There's nothing really that can be done because the house is just made cheaply, quickly and it's old (built in the early 70's), and even though it's renovated with lots of new updates, it still has been horrible. Our electric bills in the winter/summer months are somewhere between $450-650 dollars...for the past 4 years!! The new house has been $139 dollars each month for years....AH-MA-ZING!!

I know it's not the best timing for a move. It's freezing. The girls are just one. Oh yeah, and we're having a baby ANY day! But oh well. Luckily we have a great support system that is willing to help us pack, move and help with all four of the girls!

We honestly couldn't be more excited for our family!

Here are some photos I took on Saturday!

Also has walk-in closet!

Shower is on opposite side.

I love the molding...also will be the girl's room - being painted light purple, same as other room.

We will be painting one weekend before we move in - light purple for the girls!

Seriously it couldn't be more ME!

Love the space on tile (not carpet) we have coming in the door and storage for all of our strollers, boots, shoes, coats, ect, ect! Oh it is awesome to have SPACE!

Most likely my sister will be moving in with us (probably in March), while she works full-time and goes to school. It's the perfect opportunity for her to "move out" of our parent's home but still be with family and pay next to nothing for her own space! We are so excited for her! She's going to paint the room and has so many ideas already for decorating!

I din't get any photos of the kitchen, but I will. We are all standing in there talking so I didn't want to move everyone out just for a photo.

Seriously, to have a real backyard with grass, a patio and a deck, it is going to be awesome! To have cabinets under sinks for storage...something we don't have now which makes the linen closet very tight. To have brand new carpet, tile and hardwood floors...wonderful! To have our kitchen table and high chairs in the actual kitchen, with tile floors, and not on carpet in the dining room...awesome too!

We are literally so excited. We'll be moving on the 10th and 11th of February, but we're allowed to bring stuff up whenever we want in the next few weeks since it's already vacant.

Now we just are waiting for E to make her arrival, paint and clean it up (not much cleaning has to be done since everything is brand new practically), but I need to clean it myself and sanitize every inch before my babies start crawling around. 

(Oh - AND Miss Madelynn is practically walking now! I am sure by the time we move in, she will be a full-blown walking machine!)
