Show Us Where You Live Friday....

It's that time again for Show Us Where You Live Friday brought to you by Kelly's Korner. I have to admit, I browsed my picture files to obtain pictures of our house!! So, no I did not prepare and go take beautiful pictures, edit them, place them in the most satisfying order....You guessed it, I browsed, selected, and hit UPLOAD FILE

Hope you Enjoy....all you get is the patio.....because that is all I could seem to find in the saved files!! Ha!

All the dirt spaces are filled in with grass now!

And just for fun, my oldest and I shoveling snow!

I was doing everything possible to get the baby weight OFF

Show Us Where You Live Friday

It's that time again, brought to you by Kelly's Korner.....This week the feature room is FINALLY the Master Bedroom! We love our Master Bedroom. I am normally very conservative in my decorating style and going for Full Gold was a big step for me. Although, it is just over 3 years old, my hubby will kill me if I change it right now because of $$$$! You know how it goes! I do like the richness, (but am sort of over the color)...Hubby if you are reading this, I mean, I still love it!!

Our room from the entry....

From the other side of the room.....

I loved this idea above the bed, so hubby did it for me!!
Lamps are from TJ Maxx...(what a steal)

Our first plasma....graduated to our bedroom! We tend to upgrade the great room and then roatate the old throughout rooms!

The coolest part is everything is wired to the closet (you can see it directly outside of our door), s no BluRay, Cable box, Subwoofer, or Receiver showing! My favorite because everything stays Nice & Tidy!!

Sconces are another bargain from "Real Deals"

Master Bathroom Entrance....


Posted these before, but here they are again!!

Show Us Where You Live Friday.....

It's that time again for Show Us Where You Live!! (I think it should be called Thursday, instead of Friday, since this seems like the post day, but oh well, we are all easy, and it works for us....ha). Anyway, this week is for laundry, bonus, and/or play room. Since I am not super proud of our bonus room at this point, I am going to exclude it...it really is nothing special since we sold our old couch set that was up there to complete some rock in our landscaping!

Well, here is our laundry room, I would still like to spruce it up since it is connected to the garage and the first room I see. It is funny because if my hubby does laundry (he is only supposed to do towels...hint, hint) and leaves them on the top of the dryer, it sets my mood. I really like this room to be tidy and everything in it's place!

Sink portion......

Door to the garage.....

Well that was easy......ALL DONE!!

~BATHROOMS~

Master Bathroom

This is our double shower...the picture does not do it justice! I absolutely love our shower and would not mind having an even bigger one in our next house.....

Side view of our spa area....

Front view of the spa area.....
(I think it's funny to call it a "Spa" area, but this is what my hubby always calls it, so it's kind of stuck in my head)


Vanity area.....

View from our bedroom......

Powder Room

Nothing special about this room, a little laundry basket to throw little wash cloths in when you are done drying your hands.

Toilet view

(guess you probably do not care about this)

These pictures hold bible verses, quotes about faith, etc....

And the vanity.....

Welcome to the BOYS Room!

This is my least favorite room, because you are bound to find toys gallore, pee pee around the toilet, and clothes on the floor! Oh the joys of little boys.....

This sign is in honor of my boys (it fits my hubby some days too)

"I'm not messy, I'm creative"

I bought this at a little store at the beach while on a girl's trip....

I missed my Zachary soooo much that day....

Little cute canvas pictures I found at Target

There are two more that say "astronaut" and "cook"

A look at the whole view of the Boys Room....

(well the best I could do at this angle with a cruddy camera)

See you Next Friday.....maybe, isn't it garages??

Show Us Where You Live Friday!

It's that time again.....for "Show us where you live Friday" brought to you by Kelly's Korner! Well this week is show us your office. I cannot wait to complete this room as I am in it a lot for work!! We still need to put up the chair rail, purchase an electric fireplace, and a new plasma. Anyway, someday it will be complete (and watch then we will move).

This is a picture from August last year. The shelves are much more full of books and pictures now, but my crummy camera kept making it blurry.

Here is a view of our desk...nothing special, except for our touch screen computer, which rocks!!

Here is the start of the family pictures, another collage is in the foyer and I have been putting off completing this.

Here is a collage of pictures and awards for Chris at work. He was not to keen on the idea, but went with it because I really wanted to put them up. He really likes to keep work and home life separate.

And here is the frame my brother and sister in law gave me for a graduation gift. I only have my Masters in it and need to order my Bachelors because I seemed to have lost it somewhere...oops!

So hope you liked the office....see you next week!

Living Room

It's Friday, which means "Kellys Korner" has challenged us again to post pictures of our home. This week's feature is "living rooms". Here is a picture from our front door. The columns kind of block the view, but those windows are to die for. We have no houses behind us and are on 3/4 acres, so it is so peaceful to look out!

Here is another angle.....

And another.....

And here is a view of our fireplace/TV stand......I am not a big fan of the back area of the TV! Oh well, it all comes with time....oh and here is Adam, which is by far the most talented American Idol this year!

Check out our two dogs, Deuce and Princess. They are good and laying on their blankie!!

Here are some pieces I picked up at our local store, "Real Deals"....what a great store!

This is the "corner" area I recently put together. As you can see the main wall in our living room is cornered with the fireplace, but I had to put the sofa table and mirror centerd on the wall to match our sofa, however this made a blank space, which bothered me tremendously. We had all of these items, just moved things around a little and came up with this. The best of it is it created even more seating when people are over.

Close up of the mirror, vase, table....

And my favorite for last......our boys!! They are sooo adorable!!
