Great Room & Entry

I will basically drop a ton of photos in this post because I'm not sure the best way to show the great room! This whole area makes me happy. Sometimes I just sit on the couch and look around...it's my dream great room. :)

Here's looking towards my favorite spot in the house...the entry...

I heart the vaulted ceiling in the entryway...which meant moving a giant HVAC unit and plumbing lines...sooooo worth it!

Hallway towards the bedrooms...

Looking at the kitchen...


Playroom...

Entry table...

The chairs I am OBSESSED with!

My little side table...

I'll do the kitchen in a separate post. :)

My Favorite Bedroom

Everett's orange and blue bedroom is my favorite...

I love the colors in his new bedding...

Front Yard & New Fence

Front yard is done!  Well, except for getting all the landscaping a bit more mature and painting our address on the fascia above the porch.  We just got our new fence installed yesterday, and I love love love how the front yard turned out!

First, here is the "before" photo...
And "after"...


Finally, lots of space to run and play!

One of my very favorite parts of our house- my adorable Dutch door- I love it!  We have it open all.the.time.  Even Gary said he loves having the door open. :)  Here it is closed:

And open...

And another front elevation feature I adore, our new Carriage style garage doors.  I'm not sure about the color because it was supposed to be almost black navy, but it's pretty true navy depending on the light hitting it so I'm thinking of repainting a much darker navy or white...can't decide...
