Sorry to take so long to update, but school and work has kept us busy. Now the semester is practically over and I decided to get on and post some pics. This is our first house and I have to say that it was quick to become our home!
We LOVE it here. It is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom townhouse and it has been perfect for us. I couldn't have asked for anything better. It has been a work in progress, but that makes it all the more fun :) This was also my very first chance to paint and I went crazy with it... I had to paint almost every room right away because I didn't want to wait. I also couldn't stand the previous color that was on EVERY single wall. It was an ugly off-white color, beige-ish, but whoever painted the walls did a terrible job. There were spots that were missed and others that looked disgusting so I absolutely had to repaint immediately. :D lol. So here it is!
This is the outside of our house :) Luckily, the roof was redone and same with the siding.
This is our tiny front porch and I honestly adore it... other than the trash can of course.
This is our mini walkway leading up to our house. I put all the bark down after an extremely hard day of cleaning out the weeds and random dead plants. Now we just need to cut down that tree and then i can plant some vegetables and flowers, or maybe mini pine trees. :)
This is our garage and believe me it is SO nice to have after having to try and find a parking spot every night (with no success I might add) at our old apartment complex.
Here is a part of our cute little backyard. It looked too bare without anything I bought some tiny shrubs and Jordan planted them. He did a great job!
This is the bigger picture of our backyard. The fence needs to be redone, but our HOA people are supposed to work on that. Not sure if it will get done or not, but maybe we can save up money and redo it ourselves. We haven't been able to sit outside much due to the cold weather, but we have had a few BBQ's which were delicious :)
This is our living room. It is kinda hard to tell in the picture, but it's painted a light green color. It looks a lot better in person :) Jordan is just playing his new favorite Wii game "Call of Duty."
This is our little laundry room/utility room. My father-in-law came and helped us hook up a gas line for our dryer and then he was SO very kind to give us all these shelves and help put them up as well. :D
This is our half bathroom and I think it is absolutely adorable. Yes it is lavender because lavender is a calming color and it also matches the sink counter in there which is yellow.
This is our kitchen which is much bigger compared to our apartment one. Eventually we plan to paint the cabinets black, put tile on the floor instead of vinyl, and get a new oven/stove. One thing I was excited about was getting our new dishwasher!!! Jordan's dad brought it up from his store and helped us put it in. We are so thankful that he did! It has been a great accessory to have... hopefully no more washing every single dish by hand!
This is our dining area, which is connected to our kitchen. Those drapes came with the house, but once I have time and money I am gonna make or get some new ones.
This is the second bedroom, which has been perfect for our desks and storage. It just so happens that both rooms are the same size... the only difference is that the "master" bedroom has two closets instead of one.
This is our main bathroom which is nice and spacious and we don't feel cramped when we are both in there getting ready :P We also plan to repaint these cabinets in white. One thing I love about this bathroom is that it has a big skylight and it just lets in this beautiful filtered light. You can kind of see a plant at the top of the picture and that is because it is hanging from the skylight.
And the best part is our bedroom. I can actually get out of my side of the bed instead of having to crawl over Jordan or the bedpost!!! lol. It's so big comparatively and we needed the space :)
Another thing that is great about our house is the address. It is basically across the street from our work at "The Home Depot" so I get to enjoy riding my bike there when its warm out. The other thing is (for those that don't know) my lucky numbers have always been 7 and 9 or anything with a 7 or a 9 in it. And whats funny is our address is 177 W. 1190 N. I will post more pics later (in the month) of our new puppy, Mr. Lucky.
Thanks for coming on this tour of our house! ;)
