Per request I have posted some pictures of our house with "us" actually living in it.
The house is beautiful... our hand-me-down furniture, not so much.
I would of course love to redo every room right this minute but alas, must save money and gather ideas for some months.
It's a work in progress.
The front (no duh, Rach)
Because there are no basements in Texas we have to sacrifice half of the garage for storage.
Thanks to stacking bins and de-junking we did pretty good.
I've kinda just stashed some decor here... not really sure what I want to do with it yet.
I may put my holiday and seasonal decor in there.
Any ideas?
Beth's Room
We are looking at bunk beds currently to put in here. This will have an overhaul when I get the bed and the new bedding.
A couple shots of the game room. We are in the process of ordering blinds. For right now we get that Texas sun at around 3pm, thankfully it's been cool this spring so far.
Girls bathroom, across from Izzy's bedroom.
The study
Also currently looking for a bigger filing cabinet and possibly another book case.
Not my favorite room, but definitely needed and appreciated.
Lance spends a lot of time in here working.
Half Bath
Laundry Room
I love the space in here. Of course we plan to put another fridge/freezer in here for food storage.
With that and an ironing board (no I don't iron but doesn't everyone at least have to OWN an ironing board?) and the dryer rack it will fill up quickly.
I also want to put up little hooks for jackets and cubbies for shoes in here.
Clearly I'll have to prioritize my space.
Entry way
Kitchen
LOVE LOVE LOVE the counter space and big pantry.
Breakfast Nook
Living Room
Love the light that those big windows give us.
Master Bath
Master Bedroom
Sorry, this picture turned out kinda dark. Not much in here, just a bed, nightstand, and dresser.
Getting a bedroom set used to be the top on our list... now it's almost at the bottom.
So much want...
So little money :)
We are getting used to driving 15 minutes to everywhere but enjoying the fact that we are "out there". The stars are brighter out here and it's quieter. No sirens or people yelling in the middle of the night. Our neighbors and the ward are super friendly. We are looking forward of taking advantage of the pool this summer, the walking trails, feeding the ducks at the pond, and playing on the intermittent playgrounds throughout the community.
It's good to be HOME!!!

Love, Love, Love it! I think it looks fantastic. I am trying hard not to be jealous!
Oh sorry this is Andrea, Sherm would NEVER leave a comment like that!
Wow! What a great house. So happy for you guys!
yay! love your house with you in it. I miss Beth now. :( for your entryway shelves...maybe a picture? more books? but it looks good already. love the laundry room. love the playroom. love the kitchen, but it's missing something...BURTONS!
Love the house! I am totally laughing though, at all the projects you mention doing to different places in your house. I am laughing because I was/am the same way. Let's just say one year later and our 'project list' isn't all crossed off like I thought it would be. LOL! LOVE your washer and dryer!! Are they brand new? Kitchen is GORGEOUS! I am jealous a little bit. And I totally hear you with the garage being half food storage. Same here!!!
Thanks for taking pics! It looks awesome... but I know you well enough to know that the wheels are turning already thinking of the new furniture you want for each room... ;)
Its fun to see you in your house! I wish we could hop in the car today and see it all in person! I am glad you are feeling settled. If you are like me it will take a while until you truly feel settled in.
Looking forward to being there! I am happy for you and having a place to call your own. I can see the homey touch already.
Love, Mom Jensen
