The New Place

Today we got mostly finished with unpacking boxes. Things aren't quite settled, but they are coming along. I thought I would share a few photos of the new house. It's quite different than our last place, more of an open floor plan which I'm not real hip on. Maybe it will grow on me?

Here's the kitchen. It's nice and big, the black granite is a pain though. The kids enjoy eating breakfast at the bar. I like all the counter space.

The ceilings are so high in this house, I feel SO short all the time.

Here's the eat in kitchen. Something looks off in here, any ideas?

Here's a shot of the family room. This one needs some work. Gregg went out and bought this 50" plasma and a Bose sound system before our things even arrived, he was dying without the usual comforts apparently.

Here's the formal front room, or sitting room as they call it around these parts. The tray ceilings are interesting, though kind of annoying. I don't know why they were totally left white.

Formal dining area...

Staircase, not sure about these spindles. I would have chosen differently. The clock fits nicely here in the entry though.

Master Bedroom. It is smaller than our last one, but has all the same things like fireplace, sitting area and an awesome bathroom. The only thing different is this one has a 130 sq foot walk in closet of which we are taking full advantage!

The gas fireplace is really nice. Fire on command at the flip of a switch. The TV is a bit large for the room since the bed is closer to the wall in this room, but we're OK with it.

The sitting area is smaller, but the couch fits and it's a perfect spot for a lazy Sunday afternoon nap. As you can see, Jolie favors the bed.

Master Bath.

Master Bath, not sure about the separate vanities. I do like the glass block window though, it lets in some gorgeous light.

Payton's room.

I love her new furniture!

This is Austin's room. It is really hard to get a good photo of a bedroom I have found.

This photo was sponsored by the letter "A". A is for Austin.

This is the guest bedroom. I have some work left to do in this room, though not a whole lot. Obviously I still need to trim out the paint near the ceiling & hang some paintings.

It has it's own bathroom. I hope some people come out and visit us.

I didn't bother taking photos of the garage, it is a mess still, but HUGE.

The basement will also have to wait, we are in the process of fixing it up for the kids. We put the old 65" big screen TV down there with the Wii and an air hockey table for now. We still need some carpet, some paint and some couches, maybe a pool table eventually.

Anyway, it's hard when you bought furniture for another house and you have to move it into a place completely different in style.
