Our home...

About a week ago we got our house appraised because we are refinancing our home. That meant making our house look super clean and neat (which it hardly is!) I took advantage of my clean home and took pictures before my little red headed tornado could make his rounds through the house. So here is our home which might be boring for most of you but my some of the grandparents and such will enjoy... or maybe you will just laugh if you have been to my house before because seriously it never looks like this :)

The front of our house (the door is on the side, I forgot to get the picture)

The back... you can see the sliding glass door we put in last summer, the deck and garden and of course toys!!!

Living room area

The kitchen

Master bedroom

Mason's new "car" room. The sheet on the bed has cars on it so when he is ready for bed he runs to the crib and says "vroom vroom" to get in his "car bed"

Looking into the nursery... it is still decorated for when Mason was in here, I never got pictures before so here they are. We are going to change the bedding and valances when my mom gets here to help with baby Lily. Everything else will stay the same.

Crib and dresser that were given to us for our dear friends from the BX (thank goodness too because Mason is NOT ready for a toddler bed)
Chair and book shelf were also given to us... we still come in here to read stories and snuggle before naps and bedtime

This is the room in the basement that Danny finished, well almost finished... it still needs trim and other final touches but for now it is great and Mason LOVES to play down here!

another view... Danny did the lighting, wiring, sheet rocking, mudding, painting and layed the carpet (with some help from friends and family) I am so lucky to be married to him :)

storage in the basement

Laundry room/scrapbooking, sewing, crafting/ food storage. One day we hope to finish the last two rooms in the basement!

So there is a lovely tour of our little home. We love it and are so grateful that we are able to own a home in a nice area with nice neighbors :)
