Fall Home Tour

I realized a few weeks ago that I never did a "home tour" since we moved in back in February. We have officially settled in but it's always a work in progress. In August I was getting really antsy to finish decorating the house and since then we have finished up a lot. So here's our house... all decorated for Fall.

Welcome to our home!

Jim, our scarecrow, will greet you on the way up... 

Walk up the porch and enjoy our mums and pumpkins... 

We have chairs on the porch (only because my mom bought them super cheap) but no one really sits there... they are "space fillers"

As you enter the front you'll find the staircase to the left, dining on your right, and living room straight ahead. 

We'll go ahead into the living room, since that's where the guests like to gather.

We love Blake's recliner and the sofas are pretty comfy too. Blake's TV is prominently hung above the fireplace (better than the deer...) and we like the "homey" feel. At the condo we were kind of contemporary but that's really not us. We wanted carpet and we want our living room to be like a home. We want it to be comfortable for all those who visit.

We love our fireplace ... you flip the switch and the fire starts up! Notice my craftiness with the initial pumpkin on the hearth.

 From the living room we'll take a peek into the dining room. Some would say it's a waste of space (because we've only eaten in there once) but I do look forward to hosting dinners (especially when kids arrive) during the holidays. 

Yes -- I do have candy corn as a centerpiece!

We will then go into the kitchen. I LOVE my kitchen. And especially the island. It is pretty much the most amazing thing.

Don't mind the dog crates... they just haven't been moved back into the garage since it's cooled off outside.  And then there's the most fantastic part of the kitchen... the pantry. I heart it. It looks a little unorganized  (yea... just a little) but it really is organized. 

Off the kitchen leading to the backyard we have our screened in porch. It's pretty awesome too. And then a look at our yard where we finally have mostly grass. (When we moved in it was dirt with grass seed.)

Back inside and off the kitchen heading towards the garage we have our laundry room and half bath. Nothing exciting but the location of these two are wonderful.

 On the other side of the living room is our bedroom. Please excuse the fact that we don't have a real comforter ... it's simply too hot to sweat to death while sleeping. 

The master bath is just off the bed room ... there's a tub behind the door and the "man's library" is behind the second door.

Going upstairs we can look down on the living room (awesome!) and then there's the hall leading to the "kids'" rooms.

At the top of the stairs is the attic on your left... we will probably finish it one day for another bedroom. This is one of the room's on my list for Fall organization. Give me a free weekend and we're tackling this.

Going down the hall you'll find my craft room on the right... 

And then go to the end of the hall and the Man Cave/Future Playroom is on your right above the garage. This is the room where you'll almost always find us.

Notice where the deer ended up...

Across the hall you'll find the "Kids'" Bathroom.

And all the way across the hall you'll find the guest bedrooms. We've named the blue room "Paisley's Room" and the multicolored room "Lilly's Room." They haven't figured out how to sleep in there yet...

With that we conclude our tour. Hope you enjoyed it. We welcome all to come hang with us and our puppies! They will love you to death! (Except Lilly -- she takes awhile to warm up to you.)
