Family

Our Home at last

August 28, 2009

I am in town visiting my parents and actually have time to finally post something. I have been wanting to show pictures of our house but just haven’t had the time. So without further ado here we go…
This is a side profile, sort of, of our house. The back part of the house is the old summer kitchen which is still a work in progress.
Elijah took this picture well sitting in a tree.
I thought I had more before and after pictures than I do but here are a few. This is the main floor bathroom before.

And after!

The next room gave us the most trouble, it had this wall paper that was also in the main floor hallway up the stairs and in the upstairs hallway which for
us was overkill.
So we took of the paper and realized there were some other problems…

That would be mold under the window soo… Dave pulled that out and any lose plaster and then drywalled the whole wall.
And finally we ended up using that textured wallpaper that you paint over. For now this is the kids playroom but may one day be a dining room after we finish of the summer kitchen.

Now for my favorite room or one of them the kitchen.



This is our homeschool room which I cannot tell you how blessed I feel to have a room for school.

This is our family room.
Okay this is an odd one but the house has tonnes of character so i had to include this one as well!
Moving upstairs here is our huge bathroom I have
never had a bathroom so big we are unsure if we will leave this as a bathroom or not it was a bedroom that was converted into a bathroom we may one day convert it back but that is very down the road.
Here are the bedrooms, this is the girls…
This is the boys room…
Our room… (I am hoping to get a headboard some day)
Finally some outside shots. As you face our house from the road this is the right yard.

Here is the barn it is as old as the house 124 years and still going!
This is a shot standing by the road.
This is on the right side of the house but in the back
This is also behind the house the kids spent all day gathering the rocks for their fire pit.
Some of our neighbors…
We are hoping to add to the fruit in the years to come but we have some apple trees that have been let go so I think Dave and I will be reading up on how to care for apple trees this winter any advise would be welcome!!!
And our grapes are looking like they are coming along too!
This last picture is the original entrance to the property and makes me think of “The Old Path ” hmm how fitting.

Finally some pictures of the house. Sorry it took me so long to get them to you again thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers through this move!!
