House Pics, Part 1

I don't know what to say about this house...yes, it's enormous- but it's also very outdated. I can't do anything about the pink-tinted walls or froofy drapes or the pint-sized oven or the faux-marble painted cement pillars or the fact that the pilot light goes out all the time leaving us w/no hot water. I don't want to give an impression that I'm whining or complaining though. We really are enjoying this house and feel blessed that we're in such a great location. So we've just ignored the "oddities" as we've gone searching for new furniture, etc...I really feel like our HOUSE is finally becoming a HOME. So here's some pics of the "palace" or "mansion"- whatever you've been calling it...

A couple shots of the girls room. You can go to my other blog HERE for more details and pictures.

Don't you just love the blue-lacey curtains in the background?!

I left all of Mina's nursery stuff in storage. Whoops. So I did up another nursery. (Brian's reading this rolling his eyes right now.) Yeah, she's too old for a bumper but they make the room look cuter (more eye rolling). Anyways, I'll add more pics when I get the quilt back from the machine quilter...oh, and these curtains aren't too bad- in other words, they don't make me want to vomit when I look at them.



Our family room. We couldn't find anything but low-line entertainment centers here...not so good with Mina's go-go-gadget-arms but we're managing ok. Kristi, do you like my pillows- they're orange!!!



And lastly, our coat closet. I know seeing this picture won't excite you but it took forever for me to organize all the shoes- so gosh darn it, ooohhh and aaahhh over my closet. Thanks to IKEA for the shoe organizers...

It's late, I must retire for the night. Hope all is well with you!
