Welcome to Our Home

Here's a little virtual tour of our home. Actually, looking at these pictures probably takes as long as the real tour. Our new place is very small, but we're absolutely loving it. Slowly, all of our boxes are being crushed and most things are finding a place in our home. It's funny how when you move into a smaller space, you realize how much clutter/junk you've collected and what you do/don't need. I guess it means I'll be having a garage sale in the spring!



Here's the outside of our home (also affectionately called, "The box").



Here's the gorgeous view we have from our living room window.



My kitchen/dining room area. Next project to tackle: destroy cute primitive border under the cabinets.





My favorite thing about the living room is the color of the walls. By the way, I want to become the person who gets to name all of the paint swatches. This color is called River Bank.



Daniel's room + music room



Bath room...obviously.



Our bedroom. I think I picked the color of this room because I liked its name: Wheatgrass. Its definitely more yellow than I thought it would be, but its growing on me. It's a happy color.



Most importantly, Daniel is acclimated to our new place. He's particularly rejoicing over the fact that we have no way to child-proof our cabinets.

*Thanks to all of you who offered your vehicles, muscles, and painting-skills to us during our move. We feel so blessed to have such generous friends.
I love having visitors, so stop by sometime for a cup of coffee and a chat.

I love your new house Mara! How cute and cozy it is! I love the colors you picked.. I know what you mean about colors of paint.. we just re-did one of our rooms in our new house, and ours was a shade darker than your wheatgrass,.. it was called Saringetti Plain! (if i spelled it right) goofy names.. but gorgeous colors! Congrats on your new house!

It was so good to see all of your Thanksgiving photos and take the virtual tour of "the box." For being a small home at least it's warm, cozy, with pretty rooms and a nice view and PRIVACY (something our current housing doesn't have a lot of =)
Blessings to you guys this holiday season.
