The Girls' Room

this is looking down from the Reace's loft bed; the door on the right leads to the foyer

same area; looking more to the left; this door leads to the hall---across that hall is their bathroom; to the left in the hallway is our room.

one more shot

the full corner shot; wrapping us around the room

continuing to move left, you can see their window and dresser; the door on the left is the boys' room

Aryee's toddler bed with Reace's loft bed over it

there's Reace in her loft bed

we had to take a pic of her animals

the ladder from Aryee's perspective

a bit fuzzy, but this is what Aryee sees when she looks up

One of my favorite shots!!!
the floors are beautiful!!!

An old entertainment center from some friends of ours--perfect height for their dollhouse!

side view;  a place to display their beautiful tiaras made by a friend of mine @ www.fairyfrocks.net   She's amazing!  We have some beautiful little girl dresses we purchased from her as well!

one more great pic!  from the hallway looking through the girls' rm into the boys' rm

Dinning Room

Dinning Room --from formal living.  Through the door you can see the living room in the back.

door on left leads to kitchen and living room; door on right is foyer and then kitchen

similar picture, but you can see the left pocket door that can separate the dinning from the formal living.

this shot if from the dinning rm mantle looking across the foyer into the girls' rm fireplace and mantle.

The School Room/Formal Living

the front door is on the right; this is our formal living/school room

you can see the height of the windows better in this shot

moving across the room to the left; you can see the front porch through the windows; and across the street-Gramps and Granny's old church.

I couldn't get the whole wall in one shot; so here's 2 to make almost one.

moving left across the room

you can see the school items starting

I can't believe I'm putting this one here due to the messiness!  But this room is beautiful ; the bay windows & arch at the top.  [We are still moving ladders, scaffolds, & dollies around.  AND it looks like the girls destroyed a pink notepad on the table. ha/ha!!!]

Our Kitchen

we will enter through this door from the foyer

this is our counter between the microwave and stove top; the wall ovens are on the left

looking more to the right, you can see the fridge

this is one of my favorite shots!  I'm standing on the stairs that lead to our attic.  the door you entered is past the sink counter on the left.  if you go down the hallway, the first right leads to the pantry & laundry rm-- the girls' rm is on the left-- the kids/guests bath is the 2nd right-- w/our rm at the end. 

in this pic, you can see the height of the ceiling better

just another pic of the fridge, but if you go right in this pic, you will be in our living rm/den

this is looking back from the other side of the kitchen--you can see the stairs going up in front of the window that lead to the attic (hopefully future bedrooms : )  go left past the fridge-- living rm

the is foyer from kitchen looking at front door : )

Entering Through The Front Door

Foyer BEFORE  (this is the front door)

Foyer --Almost AFTER : )
You can see we are still working in here.  This photo is with my back to the front door .  You can see straight into the kitchen.
This is a pew from the chapel that Paul's Papaw Foti had built for St. Jude.  : ) 

Foyer view from Kitchen looking towards front door.
Please don't ask what color is on the wall because it doesn't look anything like the sample.  We are happy with it now, but it was crazy, with this much lighting, how different the colors looked on the full wall verses a small 2ft by 2ft square

Our HOME

               We are beyond blessed by our new home.  After planning to build a home for over a year, this is what God had in store for our family.  HE is so faithful and amazing to provide.  HE goes above and beyond our needs even providing details we wanted.   Like a "dishwasher" Oh, how I do praise HIM for a dishwasher!!!  And the windows, oh, the windows!!!

This is the front of our new home.

lovely Magnolia tree in front right!!!

       May we praise HIM in all things!!! Even if our house burned down, HE is Still faithful to be praised.          

                               So, we will enjoy it while we are stewards of this 130 year old home!
