Our home


I am finally getting around to blogging about the house. I kept thinking that I would do a blog once it was all done, but I'm quickly realizing that it may be a long, long until it's "done"! 

We did about 3 weeks of work before we moved in to update a few things and clean up a few things. We put new countertops in the kitchen.

We stained the cabinets and painted the master bathroom.

We gave the basement a facelift. We closed in the garage door area and vented it and made it such a fun space for us and the kids!

(Ignore the longhorn, there are plans to change that ;) 
Since we closed in the basement, we also had a ton of dirt brought in to level the yard. The boys loved watching all the big construction vehicles driving around!

Richard also lined the driveway and shop area with railroad ties. It makes it look so sharp!
There is a wrap around porch that has so much space to entertain and relax! One of my favorite spots!!

Since we finally have space, we got a couch that seats all of us.

And a kitchen table to seat us all.  It was hard to find a table big enough so we ended up having this one made. It fits perfect with the rustic theme right down to the H branded into every chair.



I decided to decorate with wall decals and quite possibly went over board, but I love them! So simple and it adds so much to each room!



All the kids' rooms are upstairs with a loft area for video games or movies.
Koby and Kelby chose a western theme room.


Troy and Teague chose baseball.


And Baylee chose a mix of patterns; chevron, paisleys, etc...

Our bedroom is still in the works but it's so roomy and truly a sanctuary for us! Complete with a door out to the porch.
My mom got us this wall hanging that goes perfect!
And this is my latest delivery. I put it on the wall you see first as you walk into the house. Still need a sofa table against the wall, but I love how it turned out!
I love everything about this house and thank God daily, if not more often for the opportunity to raise our family here!
