Home Sweet Home

FINALLY... I know (Dani & Katie)!!! With school being so crazy and with me also trying to finish up with some things around the house, I haven't had time yet to post about the house we moved into in January. Since both Nick and I's families are so far away, they haven't seen the house yet. They have been patient and have been waiting for pictures. So for family, personal documentation, and others interested, here you are! :)

First off, I thought I would VERY QUICKLY (so quick that NOTHING is even to scale... my teachers at school would NOT approve) draw up 2 floor plans of our house. It is a two story house and because my pictures aren't very good, and because I didn't post pics of every room, you can still get an idea of the layout of the house. Doors, windows, and not all furniture have been added... just walls and basic things, so that you get the idea.

First Floor

Second Floor

Our house is decorated in all black and white with accents of different colors in each room. I'm obsessed with black and white. I'm also in love with Damask print or a contemperary baroque style.

Guest Bedroom

This particular room was inspired by the artwork I did at Northwest College, in the Lower right-hand corner. Nick says I don't use my artwork around the house enough, so I decided this piece would be fun to use. As you can see two identical pieces are above the bed.

I plan to add other pieces of artwork to this room as well... of course ones that are the same type of art.

Guest Bathroom

Master Bedroom

Master Bath

Living Room

Pretty sure that this is my favorite room in the house. First of all, because we're renting, I'm not allowed to put up any wall coverings, so for the damask print I wanted to do, I did the next best thing... stenciling!! (love the stencil?? I know just where you can get one!!)

Kitchen

Granite Counter tops, dark wood cabinets, and Black appliances (minus the fridge... did ya see that??) :) Wierd huh?? Remember we're just renting we didn't pick them out! :) I LOVE LOVE the pantry. Having room for food is amazing. Not to mention all the cupboard space... some of them don't even have anything in them! :)

Dinning Area

Well, there you go... what do you think? Thanks to my patient husband, this was able to be accomplished!! :) We have been loving living in a house and not in an apartment. I guess there is two things we miss from the condo we were living in before...

1. HOT TUB

2. Fireplace

...but its completely worth it all when you don't have to worry about hearing everything that crazy people do (like beat their wife.. and then hearing the cops pound on their door at least twice a month) so family... I know you like it so much your just dying to come see it in person aren't you?? The guest room is calling your name! :)
