Our Brady Bunch House

Ok! Here is our new (older) home! These pictures aren't in any order because I lose patience with Blogger quite a lot. The front reminds me of the Brady Bunch house! We have a huge driveway which will be perfect for a basketball goal in the future! My dad has already done a lot of painting and put up new base molding in the kids' rooms. We also got new carpet in the upstairs. We still have a LOT we want to do, but for now this is what it looks like! The exterior is great. Nate said he may want to paint the front door a color eventually. Most of my pictures aren't good! I am not a photographer and am terrible with light, etc.

This is Henry's room. He picked the two separate gray colors for the wall. He has two nice windows. One overlooks the pool. He also has his own little bathroom with shower which is nice. We think this room may have been the original master suite.

This is Aida's room. You can't see it, but she has a nice window overlooking the driveway area. My dad painted her walls this nice pink color. She had me pick out the color. She got bored at Home Depot looking for paint!

This is the dining room, which we are going to use as a piano/sitting room. Obviously, we need more furnishings in here, but with time! I painted the gold sconces this off white color and I am going to get some seagrass shades for them. The chandelier will go eventually too and we will get something not so gaudy! This room also has a nice window! I love the parquet flooring, too! My dad painted this room as well. Our master suite is also this color....Yes, thanks to Daddy!

This is our breakfast room which is attached to the kitchen. It goes out to the deck and pool. My dad painted these walls too...I am going to be decorating forever, but I love to do it! I ordered a custom made valance. We don't need curtains or blinds because no one is on this side of us!

This is our front yard or at least part of it. We love the big tree...which may hold a tire swing at some point!

This mantel was TERRIBLE! My Dad flew back like 10 feet when he took it off because it was so huge! Luckily the couch broke his fall! He flew over it! See the after pic below....

Much better without the gothic mantel! We are still going to paint this room and get new cabinet doors/pulls. We have our sectional split up between the game room (no pic) and living room. Eventually it will all be in the game room. The game room is large and has a wet bar, loft, sauna and separate bathroom. It is a really neat space with a wood burning stove. It is lined with windows overlooking the pool! The kids already like to watch tv out there and play in the loft...which is high and a little scary, but a neat place for kids.

The pool...which is rarely empty! It has been a lifesaver with the 100 degree temps.

The back yard green space.

This is a spot made for a trampoline, which we will get some time.

This is a homemade firepit which will be great in winter!

This is the hot tub, which everyone has been in but me! I can't be in a hot tub when it is so hot outside!

We are excited to grow in this home as a family, and hope that our kids' friends will want to hang out at our house when they are older. We lucked out and are very fortunate! We can't wait to have company!!
