Pictures of our New House



If you are willing to overlook the inevitable boxes and clutter, we are happy to take you on a photo tour of our new house in Cedar Hills. We are slowly getting more settled as the days go by, but still have a long ways to go. Enjoy-- and feel free to stop by and come on a real tour!


Family Room


Extra basement bedroom: our catchall for hobbies, crafts, and storage.




Matthew's bedroom (kind of a mess at the moment).

Laundry room and half bath off of kitchen. I am SO excited to have an actual laundry "room" and not a laundry "dungeon" squeezed in a dark corner of the basement behind the water heater and furnace! It is so much easier to keep clean. Ah, the simple things that go a long way toward making me happy...






The kitchen, aka the heart of our home.

We feel so blessed to have this house! It is so much bigger than our last one, and we are loving the new neighborhood. I am thrilled with the overall layout of the house; for example, I have visibility from the kitchen into the family room (our last house had a big wall separating the kitchen and living room)! There is also much more storage space, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.





We have spent the last few weeks trying to unpack, organize, harvest tons of fruit on the trees in the backyard, make necessary repairs, and clean the house since it wasn't in perfect shape when we moved in. Our backs are both sore, but little by little, it's feeling like home.

Your new home looks lovely (and so spacious!). I hope you love it. It takes so long to get all settled, doesn't it? I'm still waiting to get all the way there. :) After 8.5 months!
