Home Tour (part I)

We were blessed to be able to move on March 30th of this year.

We have a slightly bigger home with lots of storage space,

a study, a large formal dining/piano room, double closets (more storage) --

 [in Texas, we have no basements and attics are about 180 degrees in the summer] (and most are tiny!),

a guest bedroom (come visit!),

a gameroom/upstairs family room/den (we love it!)

a shady backyard with a bigger patio--yea!!!

This house has gorgeous new carpet and some dark wood floors (love)

and mostly a very cozy and spacious (at the same time: vaulted ceilings) and bright feeling. The sun comes in the living room and kitchen in the mornings and feels soooo good!

So, my favorite colors are green and yellow. and lately, orange. I decorated our 'powder room' in those colors with some black accents and I love it!

The blue bathroom is the master bathroom with lots of white towels and accents; ocean shells, plants and beach pics/photos--I am in heaven there...

The dining and piano room--big windows to the right look out front and over lots of shrubs, etc...

Gameroom/upstairs family room: bright, open and has computer nook in left corner...

When you come downstairs from the gameroom you see this: the living room and part of kitchen counter/bar--we kept our furniture and color scheme from old house which are still my favs, including a bright salmon colored chairs (see next photo)--

Here is a view from the other side of the living room and from ground level

and somehow Ted's singing deer (named, appropriately, BUCK) got into this line-up. It sings a line from Sweet Home Alabama that Nick loves, "Big wheels keep on turnin' "  oh boy. When I told Ted he could hang that up in his new study, he replied, "Now that is proving your love!" Well, he gets one room, I get all the rest (as a decorator)...

Nick's room! Sports and books and trophies and a basket ball hoop over the closet: that is his favorite part!

Maddie's room in in progress: red walls, zebra stripes and some cool IKEA decor...

our room needs some TLC

and our guest room was perfection when my mom came last month, but now all the leftover boxes from the garage are in there...tune in next month to see it.
