The house before we moved in...

This is going to be quite photo heavy, so I'll attempt a jump break and see what happens.

We moved into this house in July of 2009. It is a manufactured, but we are happy with it for the most part. We will probably move into something bigger in the future, but I want this house to be as comfortable as possible.

Here is the layout of the house:






Here are the pictures of the house:

This is the front of the house: We have planted a lot more plants to the front yard.




These two are the east side of the yard. the first is from the side of the house with the huge honeysuckle and the other is the backyard with the three ponderosa pines. The dead cottonwood has been taken down.







These are the South and West sides of the yard. As you can see we have propane (natural gas doesn't quite run here yet). The tree in the other is a cottonwood. We pruned it back and it has been much happier.





This is the Study. Those poor blinds were replaced before we moved in. Our desks and the large bookcases live in this room. I think I am doing this room in an off white color on three walls with the long wall (which you can't see in this pic) in red.



This is the dining room. I hate that fixture, but the one I want is expensive, so we are saving up for it. This room will probably be a light pumpkin type color. I haven't quite made a final determination on that. The next entry will have a picture of the *new to us* dining table that I love.



These are a couple of the kitchen. I hate this wallpaper and I am not crazy about the counters. I love the pantry cabinet, though. We are thinking of extending the island a little and putting a large cabinet in between the left wall and the island for a small freezer and our cleaning supplies and tools. I have a plan for this kitchen and it will be gorgeous when we have finished it. I'll post my inspiration in a future post.





This is the only picture I took of the living room. I liked the fireplace. Can you tell? I had a whole thought with this room, but it completely changed when we got the new cabinet for the components and DVDs. I think this room might be a coffee colored room.



This is the master bedroom. I was excited when we moved in because of the windows, which we didn't have in the previous house. This room is going to be a seaglass blue. I love living in blue rooms.



These are the Master bath. I love the tub. Hate the wallpaper. I can live with the counters in here, since this room will most likely be light blue. I have a huge assortment of rubber duckies, and our bathroom seems the best place to have them. There is a shower stall tucked in across from that large linen cabinet next to the sinks.





This is the picture of the room my mom took. She originally had the other bed room, but she needed the light that this room receives in the morning. She likes it and I have no idea what her plans are for decorating in here.



This is the room that we gave to Dubs (with my mom in the shot). I don't think he really cares where he is. We are doing a Winnie the Pooh theme right now, but will probably be Transformers sooner rather than later.



This the main bath. Mom is going to decorate it and so far it has a ton of Kliban cats. She was going to do it red, but I think it might be too small and I have no idea how she planned to incorporate those blue counters. That's her bath and the guest bath for the most part since Dubs uses ours so she has free rein.



Well, that's about it. I'll spare you the utilitarian laundry room. I'll be updating with painting projects and coverings that I use in different rooms. I'll also update new furniture finds and recipes. I hope this works! *crosses fingers*
