You guys asked for them....

Well, you have been requesting house pictures, so here we go! :) You'll have to forgive me that it's not all decorated! We're getting there. :) We have things hanging out ready (haha...no pun intended!) to be hung on the walls, etc, etc. And our house is calling for Christmas decorations, and we'll get some of those up this week. We are putting up our tree tonight too, so don't worry.....we will have one! :) But here we go with some pictures.... (I apologize in advance for the length of this post!)
When you first walk into our house the dining room is on your left (oops...forgot a picture of that...sorry!) and then the living room is on your right. The wall you don't see is a wall with windows. We couldn't decide if we should do blinds or shutters....it was a big debate. We finally ended up taking the plunge and did shutters. I am SO GLAD we did! I LOVE them! I think they look great, they let in a lot of light, and they are just fabulous!!! I think it was worth the price for sure! Anyway: so that is the wall you don't see. Sorry. Guess you'll have to come see them for yourself! :)
Then if you pass by the living and dining room the stairs going upstairs will be on your left, and then our family room. It turns out there is a lot more room in this room than we thought. Which we are excited about. (Pardon the blankets/toys/etc. out! :) ) And a nice shot of Uncle Matty playing with his Kylie. They have officially bonded and they LOVE each other! :) Kylie can't get enough of him when he's around and HATES when he leaves!
Another view of our family room. It is a big, open space, and it's a 2-story height room. We LOVE that openness it gives and the fact you can look into the room from the "bridge" (that's what they called it on the blueprints anyway) between the bedrooms upstairs. The ONLY Christmas decor that we have up right now is what you see here. :) So sad. I'll get there...just give me a few more days! :) Here is the kitchen. Our family room open ups into our kitchen, and again...we love that openness! So here is our kitchen. We LOVE our kitchen! A close up of the cooking area of the kitchen.

This is my cutie Brian in his office. He loves having a space to go to play with his work stuff and such. :) There is a chair in the corner, and you can barely see a bookcase to the right. Kylie enjoys having the bookcase there....it gives her something to do when she's in there (pulling all the books off!). This is the bathroom on the main level. Well....I guess from this photo...the shower curtain! :) It's right next to Brian's office (which is right off the family room) and also next to our hall closet. Didn't get a photo of the closet. :) Sorry!

As you come up the stairs, the room right in front of you is the Master. We lucked out to find a floor plan we loved that had a great sized Master bedroom. It has vaulted ceilings, almost a whole wall with floor to ceiling windows, etc, etc. It's great....I do have to say! As we walked through other models and saw that people didn't take the option of vaulting the ceiling, we thought they were crazy! We're so happy with it! Anyway: a few shots. Again...you'll have to come visit to get the full view! :)
Our bed and nightstands. We just got this bed set actually (our old room would NEVER have held this furniture!) and we are very happy with it. It was a big step for us...buying a bedroom set that we hope to have for years and years, and so I was glad we found one we really liked and LOVE now that we have it!

So this is the wall our bed faces (the doors into our bedroom are right to the left of this. We were going to put the TV that is on the floor up on our chest of drawers, but turns out.....it was WAY too top heavy. Having a young child with more on the way one day (NO...not pregnant!), it was too dangerous. So....we had to go get a lighter TV to put on top. We just haven't moved the other one yet, hence the 2 TV's. It won't be saying there! :) We also have a few more furniture items on it's way to our house. A big chair will be in the corner where the extra TV is right now. We'll make that a little reading nook.

Our dresser I barely got in the shot...sorry. But it matches our other furniture and has a mirror on top. Another piece of furniture we have is a leather storage bench that we will probably put at the foot of our bed. Plus, we have things on the wall to hang, so sorry those aren't up! :)
This is Kylie's fun bathroom. I wanted to deck the bathroom out in flowers and pink, etc, etc. But if our next child is a boy, I didn't want to have to change it all again. So I did rubber duckies. And Kylie LOVES them, so I guess it was meant to be.
A view of the full shower curtain. Bathrooms turn out to be a bit hard to take photos of...sorry! :)
I hope you are all doing well and getting ready for Christmas! We are excited....we are hosting Christmas at our house for all who want to come! :) My parents and two brothers are coming so we're excited about that. Should be fun! Would love to hear from all of you! And side note....I have all my Christmas cards almost ready to go, so hopefully you'll see them before the New Year! :) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
