This post is LONG overdue but I haven't forgotten to take and post pictures of our home after 14 months of building and almost 2 years of decorating! The house finally feels mostly done, at least as far as decorating goes. It's felt done as far as building goes for some time now. The only thing left to do is to install the doorbell!
~.~.~.~
Christmast time is such a special time to enjoy celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ with friends and family. I thought there would be no better time to take pictures of our home than during this special time and post them for you all to see!
This is part of the living room but we call it the piano room. Off to the right is the powder room door.
The main part of the living room where we spend lots of time together as a family and with friends.
Swiveling around I took a picture of the dining room. Dad built the table out of 100 year old barn wood! See more pictures HERE The kitchen is off to the right and the entryway to the left.
There is the kitchen where we spend MANY hours not just cooking and cleaning but fellowshipping as well! The door down the hall leads to Grandpa's home.
Then to the right of the kitchen is the laundry room and mudroom.
Looking at the stairwell in the entryway from the dining room.
The front door where we enjoy greeting guests and hopefully, you some day!
Up the stairs from the front door.
The pantry and the favorite room in the house...at least we think it's our favorite! It's right on the other side of the kitchen and very easy to get to during busy meal preparations.
I'm standing in the hallway that leads to Grandpa's house and the pantry, looking toward the island and dining room. You can see the office/schoolroom through the entryway. The only pictures I got of it were not presentable so they will come later!
The mudroom cubicles...Dad built those! As you can see, they are heavily used!
Now we're upstairs looking down.
The upstairs family room where we read or play noisy games with friends! Those stairs go up to the attic and the door to the right is the linen closet.
This is the "hall", I guess, since all the doors to the bedrooms are here. (The door to the far left is the linen closet.) The first door on the right is the main bathroom, aka the girls bathroom, and the next door is the girls bedroom.
Another view of the Hall.
The girls room!

Looking back at the door. The door on the right is the the closet door.
The main bathroom vanity.
Another vanity across from the sinks.
This one is pretty self explanatory!
The master bedroom
The master closet door and sitting area.
The bathroom.
The guest room/sewing room. My favorite room in the house! I spend lots of time sewing!
Another view!
I just had to throw this one in! Great-grandpa enjoying great-granddaughter! So sweet!
The powder room sink.
Mom has been painting the poles for the stair rails. There are lots!
The light for over the island
Taylor was eating a cookie over a bucket of primer and the Hersey Kiss on top of it fell off into the primer! LOL! So he spend the next 15 minutes fishing it out!
He found it!!!!! Now he has WHITE chocolate! LOL!
Mom still painting!
Looking at the door handles!!! (Oh, Kami is here! We are having so much fun with her!)
The mudroom is already being used for muddy boots! That mirror is for over the sink.
Guess who! Dad installed one toilet last night!
Keslie reading the installation manual for the door handles.
This morning Kami was teaching Lydia to swing dance! They looked so cute dancing in the family room!
Now it's Sarah's turn!
The girls had to have a tea party but in order to do that one has to dress up! So after getting their hair done up and pretty it was tea time!
What could they be talking about?
Oh, nothing I'm sure!
They WERE having a fun time...posing!!
Anna and Gracie have been having a delightful time together!
