Pictures of our house

mommydamaI don't know exactly why I'm doing this, I guess because I'm bored. I love seeing pictures of other people's homes and lives, so I thought I'd show a few too. Also, I want to remember this houes since it has been by far my favorite. So here are a few cute shots of the girls, and a few of my favorite rooms in my current home. I'll be sad to leave this set up. It won't work like this in the new house. I'm sure it will be nice, but I'm a little sad to leave this house.
We were trying to get a shot of Zoe in her skull hat and the other girls joined in. Look how big they all are!
Here is a shot of the girlies at the Maryland Renaissance Faire. I love the curls from the heat and humidity.
So here are some shots inside my house. This is the hearth room, very much my favorite room of the house. It is so comfortable to sit in here and read to the girls or to myself. It is right off the kitchen and the sunroom where the TV is so it a great place to supervise the household and still relax. I will miss this room.
Here are two shots of the library, my second favorite room. Technically it should have been a formal living room and the office off the side there should have been a formal dining room, but we didn't need those things so they are an office and library. These two rooms can be shut off by locking doors. Brad can go in here and study or work, or he can watch football loud in the sunroom while the girls and I read or do computer stuff shut in here. I should have swung around and gotten a shot of our icon corner/table on the opposite wall. It is a very convenient place for it. I will miss this set up as well.
Here is playroom/schoolroom in the basement. Actually a lot of school work is done in other parts of the house, especially in the hearth room or library for sitting and reading together, but this room has been fairly conveniently set up for working at a large table and having the white board handy. I'm going to miss those built in shelves for storage of all our homeschoolling supplies and that weird cubby in the back of the room we made into a puppet theatre. Those shelve along the back wall were made my dad sort of copying pottery barns cameron storage system. They are absolutely awesome!

The hearth is lovely too, I love, love, love fireplaces. We don't have one but keep talking about having one put in someday. Does your new home have one? Will your new house allow the space for a school area?

Date: 2007-10-11 09:46 pm (UTC)you know what I do for the TV? I put a large playsilk over it I use a couple little wooden blocks to hold it down and it covers the tv and makes it look like artwork ;) and you can get a nice playsilk for like $20 :) I'll take a pic for you later if you want :)
