Our House

This is our first house. We bought it in 2007 and we are always saving for projects. Let me give you a tour. This is the entryway. The glass panes in the doors let in all the evening sun. You would be surprised how much sunlight those little windows let in!

This is the view from the front door. It is a very open floor plan.

Our kitchen looks out into the living and dining room area. I would really like new counter tops and fixtures for the cabinets. Hopefully our next project.


Our living area. I love the vaulted ceilings.

These three photos are taken by my mom in France. I just love the colors and details that came out when I blew them up to 11x17.
I love bamboo. We put in these bamboo floors. It was a huge project and our first! The dogs scratch them up but we love the way they shine in the light. The vase is bamboo as well.
Our master bedroom that is just off the living room. I have some of my mom's art as well as photography Eric and I have taken. I put all the photos in sepia tone and I hope to paint the walls latte eventually.
This is our "office" This is my wild room with the lime green paint. Eric built shelving in the closet to act as our bookshelves and entertainment center.
This is our guest bedroom. I wanted to have at least one red wall. Eventually this will become our nursery with a safari theme!

One of the worst features of this house is that all the doors are light blue. Painting doors is very difficult. Slowly all our doors are becoming white. The quilt Debie made us for our wedding. We picked the square pattern out and love it.

  1. Adorable! Craftsman style homes are my FAVORITE!!! I love the arches and your front door, especially. The colors you've picked are beautiful.

    I understand about always having home projects, James and I have been hard at work on our house since we bought it April of 08. Your post inspires me to put up pics of our place too! :)
