Our home...so far

I know, I'm on post overload here...but, oh well.  I'll get over it.

There have been some requests for pictures of our new place.  I am happy to oblige, but I'm warning you that you may want to steal my amazing design ideas for yourself.

You have been warned.
 
I still have wish lists of things I'd like to add to some of the rooms, but you do what you can right?  

We have permission to paint walls in the house, and I am torn about doing it. So for now, we just have white walls...which isn't the worst thing in the world, and may not be changed.  Also, I have not acquired any new decor or furniture, so really these pictures may seem very familiar from every other time we've moved. 
All that's changed is it's a different house and layout.

Again, you've been warned.

First I give you the Master Bedroom:


On my wish list for this room would be some sort of headboard or large artwork to go above the bed.  For now the pictures I have hanging work just fine...and if we're being honest will probably be what stays there the whole time we're in Washington. I would also like matching night stands and some bed side lamps.

Next, I give you Brielle and Claire's bedroom:


 There isn't really much I would change about their room.  I wish it was a little bigger, and we may get some of those wall decals to add a little color to the wall (or paint if we get brave) but other than that, I like it for them.  And in case you were wondering, the small plaque hanging below the picture of a crown says "Girls Rule, Boys Drool".  I think it's funny...Marty doesn't find it quite as humorous for some reason.

Next up, Addison's Room:


I love this room!  We haven't had a nursery solely for one baby since Brielle was a baby, so this is fun.  Wish list for this room...decorative baskets to organize changing table, and this room REALLY needs either paint or wall decals to add a little more color.  Other than that, it's the perfect little room for Addison.

Next up, the Family Room/Office/Dining Room: (It's quite the multi-tasking space.)


Our little dining room.  That closed door is a pocket sliding door in to the kitchen.  I closed it because the kitchen wasn't in shape for being in a picture at that moment, and rather than clean the kitchen...I closed the door.  That's the beauty of having doors.  Out of sight, out of mind.

Our little office area hidden behind the couch. 
 


My wish list for this room (these rooms) could get quite ridiculous.  I mean, I'd love all new furniture and a total overhaul of the whole thing.  BUT since that isn't going to happen any time soon (or ever), the main thing I would like is a new dining room table and chairs (as you can see in the picture we've outgrown ours and Marty is now using a folding chair to sit on...lucky guy.)  I would like some color on the walls, maybe some new pillows and accessories or art work, possibly an area rug for under the dining table....but that's about it.

So, there you have it. 
When my yard doesn't look so desolate (still working on Project Beautification) I will take pictures of that as well.

I hope those curious souls have been satisfied.
