WELCOME…

….to our new home!

we are so excited that we get to live here. we love every nook and cranny of this little place.

thanks for being excited for us too. your comments have been awesome and encouraging! really…an answered prayer! we still feel guilty about getting to live here. i know, in light of the Good News, that i shouldn’t. but we do. and you guys being excited with us just reminds us of what a gift this is from God.

anyway…ready for a tour of our place??

The Kitchen:

although smaller than my previous one, its actually much nicer and more user friendly. i love being in here!

i couldn’t live without a chalkboard. maybe i’ll do a tutorial soon on how we came up with this one!

i was so worried about cabinet storage in here, but once we moved in, i actually had to go back and get more kitchen stuff out of storage! and i still have more room!

we turned the linen closet into a pantry, cause that was a necessity, and its awesome! our linens have now found a very nice resting spot in an extra dresser in the kiddos room. works perfectly!

here’s the main room:

our dining area:

our main family room:

the only new piece of furniture we bought was this coffee table, thanks to my sweet friend, Donna! i LOVE it, and its exactly what i’ve been looking for for about 4 years. (no joke!)

our back room/sunroom/porch:

remember these rockers that i pulled out of the garbage? they were made for this room!

our Master Bedroom:

(excuse the storage under the bed…i need a longer bedskirt! i’m in the market for a cheap one, so let me know if anyone knows where to get one with a 19 inch or so drop!)

our view from the bedroom:

no more walk in closet for us, but thanks to the closet organization we did a few months back, we were ready for a smaller space. i think it all fits just right!

The Kiddos Room:

they are sharing this room, and so far, its been a blast for them. the bed is a trundle, so Bella bug sleeps on the bottom, and Canaan boy sleeps on the top. Bella loves it so much that she has been ASKING to go to bed the last few nights! i think its super sweet that they get to share a room during this stage of life!

i had to get some new bedding, to make it a unisex room, but thanks to Home Goods and Ross Clearance sections, i was able to score some massive deals! i just love how it turned out!

(the small frames on the sides of the window are their initials written in the sand)

and, just for fun, i’ll show you our storage situation.

here’s the laundry room:

and i LOVE LOVE LOVE this little nook! its the kiddos toy closet.

and the back has a little cranny for our beach stuff:

i think the verse on our chalkboard speaks our hearts today pretty well. He’s been so unbelievably, abundantly sweet to us. we are so thankful! and its such a privilege to get to tell all of you of “His Wonderful Acts!”

we are living a dream….and hoping that we get to stay here for a long time!

maybe now that we’re settled i can return to some normal blogging!

so see you soon,
