New House Pics

You guys crack me up! OK, OK...here are some pictures of the new house. :) Oh, and to answer a few other questions:

  • No, it's not as big as our house in MI (wah...I am really missing my sunroom...sniff, sniff)
  • The big project is finishing off the third floor which is currently a walk-up attic (meaning that there is a regular stairway going up there). The four oldest girls will be in two bedrooms up there.
  • There is also a walk-out basement with three large windows and a sliding glass door, so Taylor will get a bedroom down there and there is room for a playroom/sitting area/craft area type of room. I believe they are called multi-purpose rooms now. ha.
  • Yes, our house in MI is SOLD. God is amazing. My brother and his wife were looking for a house in our area and things worked out for them to buy our house.

Pictures:

This was obviously taken a few months ago--thankfully we don't have snow on the ground right now! The only thing unfinished in this pic is the front porch railing.


Taken today in our kitchen. I really love how sunny the kitchen and family room are.

And here is the special project...
It will need a bigger window and this side will be Jillian and Molly's

This will be Chloe and SaraGrace's side. You cannot see the gabled part of the roof that will provide a loft area for their beds (hopefully!).

This cool little spot under the eaves seemed like the perfect place for a playhouse, albeit a small one. Jeff, being the good sport he is, has agreed to frame it and sheetrock it. I have to paint it to look like a little house--ack! Hope I don't ruin it!
