Our New House

So I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures of our new house. I haven't taken pictures of all of the rooms yet, but here are some I have. We LOVE it! This is the outside of our townhome. We definately have the best one being on the end. We have lots more windows and a big side yard. (I know, my orange Halloween wreath is really bright, but I love it!)

I have this super cute sign by the door. We don't have a lot of Halloween decorations yet, Ben doesn't love it like I do. I figure I'm going to have to ease him into it and get a couple things each year.

I bought some window clings and Kylee helped me put them on some of the windows. She loves them! Multiple times each day we have to look at them and she tells me what each one is. She can't say skeleton so they're just called "scary". There's even a "scary castle" (haunted house).

I made these a few years ago with my sister and they look pretty cute right here.

So here's the living room. It's not done yet though. I need to go get a rug and will have a table or small armoire behind my chairs eventually with a TV on it. Since we're renting I may not put up some window treatments, but I think it would look really nice so we'll see. Oh yeah, I need to cover some pillows for the couch too.
I LOVE my chairs. They're one of my favorite things in the house. They're actually super comfy.

Here's my lovely kitchen. One day I'll get some stuff to put up above the shelves, but I'm not quite sure what to do up there yet. I have a super cool knife holder on the wall you might not be able to see. It's magnetic! The knives just stick right to it!

We have a GARAGE!!! Yay! It'll be SO nice for winter, especially in Logan. I'm kinda proud of myself for putting these metal shelves together one day during Ky's nap. Yep, I'm getting pretty handy!

Moving upstairs! Here's Kylee's darling whale bathroom. I love how it turned out! It's cute and fun, but not extremely little kid-ish.

Kylee has SO many toys and I didn't want her room full of them. Plus she has her crib, changing table, glider, and dresser in there now and it's getting to be kind of crowded. I got these shelves from Ben's mom that used to be his grandma's, but when I got them they were orange. After three coats of white paint I figured they were good enough, but will probably put on a few more coats when I do Kylee's room after her birthday and they go in there. They fit really good for now in this little spot in the hallway though.

Here's our family room where we hang out and watch movies and tv. I have a couple of neat metal film reels on the walls and a really cute painting that says Movie Night on the walls. Eventually I'll get this neat film strip picture frame I saw online too. It's not quite finished yet though, I need to recover the pillows and get a new ottoman and a rug.

I tried to do a panoramic picture on my phone to show the whole thing, but it's kind of distorted. I forgot how much I love my gigantic love sac though!!


I love that we can see the Logan Temple lit up at night through the hallway windows. We used to be able to see the Bountiful Temple from our house when we lived there so it's fun to see one at home again.

I got Kylee a few pets when we first moved in that I thought she would love to feed and watch. They are Fish, Frog, and Snail. Sadly Fish passed away on Thursday so later today I'm going to Petsmart to buy a replacement before Ky notices.

Well there you have it, a few pictures of our new home!

  3. I love all of your decorations - Halloween and regular! You've done such a good job, and I'm amazed you've pulled it together so fast. I'm just barely feeling like our house is decorated, and we've been here over a year! And actually, that's just the upstairs, I haven't even thought about the basement yet. :) Anyway, your place is amazing. Oh, and I LOVE your Beware of Goblins sign - where did you find that??
