Home Sweet Home

I hope you enjoy the “virtual” tour of our home.  We love it and are so excited to share these pics with you!

Built four years ago it is roughly 2800 sq. feet with no basement (no one has basements in TX).   

Neighbors to the Left…

Neighbors to the Right…

 

Across the street. We are lucky not to have neighbors there… yet.

 

Through the front door is the…

 

…Living Room.

This was a former model home so all of the custom drapes stayed with the home.  Someone must have had very good taste when they chose them because the match all my furniture:)

We have a small landing at the front door that leads up the stairs.

 

The archway beautifully connects the living room with the…

…Family Room.

 (The green looks very yellow in this picture but it is not really that color.  It has more taupe in it in person)

I set up my sewing machine in the corner and love having it the family space. Me next sewing project is pillows for the couch that match the beautiful drapes. Another archway leads you to the Kitchen and Dining Room.

I love my Kitchen especially the island…

… and the desk.  The fridge has automatic ice and water which is a must have for the hot days in TX.

 

The Dining Nook is a great space with large windows that look out into the backyard. Miraculously enough the drapes match my table linens perfectly.

The back doors lead out to…

 

…The Patio.  It is covered so we enjoy most evening meals outdoors.

Once again we are lucky to have no homes behind us leaving us with a sweeping view of the neighborhood and beyond to the Air Force Base(the white tower).

 

Our large (huge for TX) Backyard.

 

The pool set up is quite nice on those hot humid days. 

Back inside we find the Laundry Room…

 

…and Pantry of the kitchen.

Through this room is the Garage in which we were able to squeeze both cars and…

…Burke’s tools.  TaDa!

 

Now for the Upstairs.

There is a half wall at the top of the stairs which opens into to my favorite room in the house…

 

 

…The Play Room!

Burke built some more custom shelving units for me and I love them!  The one in the middle is deep enough to house the baby toys that once had a home all over the floor.  The book shelves are from Walmart but they work great.

The crowning glory of my playroom is my new dress up closet.  I drew up the plans and Burke built it to my specifications. 

Now dresses and crowns have the perfect home and I will never trip over another plastic shoe again.

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even the wands and wings will keep from getting broken when stored properly in their places.

Three bedrooms open up from the playroom/landing. 

The Spare Bedroom will someday (not any time in the next nine month I assure you) be a nursery.

 

Biddy’s Room

She still sleeps in her enormous big girl bed but it is just waiting to be turned over to Guests. The bed now sports a memory foam topper so it is oh so comfortable:)

The Girls’ Room

I was thrilled when I saw the lovely buttercup yellow paint. Their room feels so sunny and cheerful.

I am positive it helps them wake up happy every morning.

I made sure their bathroom was bright and cheerful as well.  No grumpy faces at our house!

The other side of the upstairs boasts a “Master Suite” the likes of which I have never had before.  My furniture does not begin to fill it and the bare wall above my bed is screaming for a picture but…

the Walk In Closet is perfect and…

the Master Bath is to Die for!

I have yet to soak in my garden tub but just having one makes me giddy.

Yes I must admit that I LOVE having a master suite.

So that is home here in TX.  I hope that this little tour helps you picture our life here. We feel so extremely blessed to be able to live in such a lovely home and have such wonderful opportunities.  The Lord is taking care of us better then we ever could have imagined. We love all of you and miss you so much.  If you ever find yourself close know that our home is your home and we love to share.
