New House


Shortly after selling our first home we found our new house. We considered several options before finally making our decision including building a brand new home, a 5 acre property with less house, a rental in case we didn't find what would work for us and this home (less property and more house). We knew what we wanted and that was living close enough to work, but with more property for our growing family. Jeremy is an outdoors guy and he wanted a yard big enough to enjoy, but also a place for him to build a shop for all his fine tools and toys! 

Our new house sits on over an acre just west of Georgetown and outside the city limits of Liberty Hill, Texas. I was glad to hear from our neighbors that there are other young children for Finley to play with. 

After only being in our new house for a week our house is finally starting to look like a home. However, there is still A LOT to be done. Painting, re-painting, pictures hung, boxes removed, organization, the nursery, the game room, and the list could go on. For now, this is what our new home looks like today. I know one day I will want to look back and remember what is was like when we first moved in. 


Breakfast area


From the living looking into the dining room. Still need to hang the mirror behind the table, but I just finished this project of painting the old dresser and mirror with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. For now, the dresser is being used as a buffet to hold kitchen platters, table cloths, napkins, etc. 


Looking back at the front door and entry way. I got this hall tree over the weekend and want to add some hooks to it so I can hang coats or Finley's school bag.


This is our bonus / game room / spare bedroom located above the garage. 


Just outside the dining room looking down towards the girls rooms.


Kitchen - a little smaller than what I would have liked, but it will work for me. 


Standing in the breakfast area looking into the living room.

Master


Off the master we have this really awesome sitting room. We have our computer over there for now, but great place for the new baby. 



Our back patio


One of the most exciting things, I think, is all the deer. Our front yard looks like this ALL.THE.TIME.
