Our Abode

Welcome to our home. Many of you have been asking for pictures, so I will give you a tour.
Our house is called a "Twin home", there is an identical house attached to ours in the center. Pretty much it is a town home. We like the added space we have here compared to our trailer, but this is a temporary home, until we buy a house. The neighbors are nice and we have a church just around the corner one way, and a park around the corner the other way.

As you enter the house, this is the entry way:
To the left is the Living/Family room.

To the right is the piano and the stairs that lead upstairs:
Walking through the entry way takes you to the Kitchen on the left.

Between the fridge and the pantry is the door to the laundry room. The washer and dryer are behind the door and on the right is the door to the garage, where the van is parked.
The washer and dryer, that I claim was a late Mother's Day/ graduation gift. *Thanks Shawn*
Coming out of the laundry room your back in the kitchen and looking at the dining room. It is SO nice to not have carpet under the table anymore:).
Heading back to the front door is the 1/2 bath on the right. This is Emma's favorite bathroom in the house for some reason.

Across the hall from the bathroom is the door to the unfinished basement.
This is the stairwell
And our storage room:


Anything we don't want to unpack yet is in here and anything we don't know what to do with yet, it is in here also, along with our food storage, camping gear, crafts and books.
Upstairs:
When you get upstairs you're in a short hall that leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Straight ahead is the main bathroom. To the left is the Master bedroom, to the right, is first Mason's room, and right next to his room is Emma and Paige's room.
Here is the main Bathroom:
Mason's room. When we moved he also moved to a twin bed and LOVES it. Shawn put a comforter on his bed that Shawn had when he was little.

Mason's closet holds all the toys. It is bigger than the closets in the girls room.
Emma and Paige's bedroom. Emma's bed sits in the corner of the room kitty corner from the door. The wall that has the door on it has two small closets. They both have their own closet space.
Paige's crib sits on the wall across from the door. The changing table is snugly fit between the door and the crib.
Across the hall is our bed room. It is at least 2x the size of our old room.
The right door is our walk in closet and the left is the tiny master bath. The bath is actually smaller than the master bath in the trailer.
Our window over looks the drive way and the neighborhood.
In the Backyard:
We have a nice deck. I really like the deck.

Down the steps is the yard (that needs help) and it is fully fenced!
And last, but not least, the barked area for "a playground". We are hoping to get a small swing set soon for this area.





*No, there are no pictures on the walls yet. We haven't decided if we want to upack them and put holes in the walls just to repack them in a few months or so.*

Very nice! Nice washer and dryer set. When we had our house built I insisted on no carpet in the dining room (which was in the plans). I like carpet but not in the dining room. Hope your enjoying your new home and town.
