ch cha changes (around the house)

Good Afternoon fellow blogger friends.
I thought I would share with you a couple changes we made here at our house. (nothing too major, don't get excited)  ;)  HA

Remember this...

well I changed out the stand, and now have this...

(I think it looks MUCH better. What do you think?)

Another change in our kitchen...

this is the best picture I have...notice the white bakers rack back there? We got rid of it and replaced it with this...

I think we may buy another one of these pantry cupboards.  There is just enough room on the wall there for a second one. (I measured)  ;)

***we are about to get ANOTHER new table...courtesy of my Mom. The table in the above picture is stable and only seats 4, period. My Mom's table is round, but has a leaf, maybe two, that make it oval and able to seat more. (just in case) Plus it is just a NICER table all around.  :) I will share it with you once we get it, in about 10 days. 

Here is our last change and it is also in the kitchen...I do not have a before picture bc when I took pix of the house I did not show this wall. Though the pantry cupboard USED to sit in this spot along with our recycling bin. (recycling bin = eye sore, so it is now in the laundry room)  ;)

Have you noticed that I use these "cubical" things through out my house? They are great for storage.  I think we have 8 of them total. 
4 for the play room (toys, puzzles, games, books, etc)
1 in C's bedroom (dvd's, pictures,more books, etc)
1 in the entry (great for shoes, mail, gloves, hats, etc)
1 in the family room (as seen in second picture above)
1 in the kitchen (as seen in above picture as well)

In old houses you have to create your own storage.  :)
We are a little closer to having our house listed on the MLS.  YAY!!!
I'll keep you posted.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Tour of My Home

As of this afternoon our house is for sale. (YAY) Please say a quick prayer this journey is a quick and smooth one for us. THANKS.

We are still working on the final touches, but it will all be done SOON.

A couple weeks ago a dear friend and fellow blogger, Monica from life on the hilltop suggested that I take you on a tour of our home. Our first home, before it sells. I thought this was a GREAT idea and decided to take her up on it.  :) Thanks for the super idea.

WELCOME to Our Home!

 
Please, come in...                            our entry way
   
     through the doorway to your left, C's playroom
 
the original fireplace and tile work (sits across from the window in the above pic)  Yes in the playroom.

and then on into our family room

the door on the right will take you upstairs, but before we go there...

Let's take a peek into the kitchen, shall we?

We had a much larger kitchen table and just down sized to this one.
It gives us so much more space. We love it. We call this "room" the dining AREA, bc it is connected and open to the kitchen.


I was really hoping for black appliances, but since we are selling, no need for them now.  :) I just LOVE the walls in the kitchen.

and this is the ceiling above the kitchen...

next we will go into the half bath, which is right off the back of
the kitchen.
 
Our laundry "room", which is just a closet is behind these doors
in this 1/2 bath...I will spare you that though.  ;)
 
Are you ready to head upstairs? Ok...

You have already seen our master bedroom, but incase you missed that post, here ya go.

on to C's fire truck bedroom...

 
Next we will go take a look at the office, which could also be a
3rd bedroom.

it is a small bedroom.  The door behind the white chest,
overlooks the kitchen area with the raised ceiling and rail.

and last, and maybe least our full bath
Which will be getting a tub, very soon.  :)

the toilet area...if you REALLY want to see it. ;)
just a side note...the trim still needs to be put down in this room, so please don't mind it.  :) (thanks)


I hope you enjoyed your tour of our home.
Please come back again soon.
