Our Home Sweet Home!!

Our first Home Sweet Home all 1486 square feet of it!!!

We bought our house in the summer of 2000.

Just look how we've transformed these rooms, time after time, as our life has progressed!

Brings back wonderful memories and feelings! Love it!

The Foyer....horrible wall paper! More to remove!

1st pic of the living room....I wished I had taken better pics!

Kitchen/laundry closet/garage door/backdoor/ and dining area.

More Wallpaper to remove!

Master Bath

WALL PAPER!!! Why do people do this???? This was a horrible pain to remove!!!

The HUGE master bedroom!

The 3rd guest bedroom. The people before us had this as an office and glued that stuff to the walls!!!! What were they thinking???????

Guest front bedroom...plain...nothing special.

The guest bathroom...more wallpaper to remove! Look at that curtain!

Behind the house...the rail road track.

The Dog Run

The garage & driveway. Not much has changed since 2000 to now.

The back of the house. That Ivy came down quick! Hated that stuff!

LOVED the backyard!!! Still do!

The other side of the yard! That tree was super small back then!!

2000 - New foyer paint job. Faux paint looked like leather close up.

Nov 2000 - Painted John's man room neon lime green! We ended up having to tone it down with a white wash.

2000 - My girly room was painted a beautiful purple! Look at Tabitha looking so pretty in her rocking chair!

2001 - New master bath. No wall paper, just nice normal texture and faux paint!

2001 - It's hard to tell, but we removed the wall paper, textured and painted the guest bathroom a nice bright yellow. Just like the little duckies on the shower curtain. All the happy color got to us though and it was repainted about a year later!

Jan 2001 - Our herb garden planted the 1st full summer we were here. Pre-baby...we had plenty of time to do this kind of stuff! This garden only lasted one year.

October 2001 - The Castor plants! We had to plant these to aid in getting rid of the moles in our yard!

2002 - Brian and John laid the new walk way and a cute little bench for the side of the house. Tulips are planted as well.

May 2002 - Peachy Keen...NOT! This paint color last about a week before it was gone! Too old looking for my taste. It reminds me of my grandma's lipstick!

May 2002 - The man room gone red! This didn't last too long either.

July 2002 - Guestroom/John's man room repainted....couldn't handle the red room.

2002 - New paint job in the guest bathroom. 2nd paint job since owning house.

Feb 2003 - Our lovely new sink!!!

2003 - John made a big o' screen and put it on the fence. We've been watching movies out in the backyard ever since!

2004 - Presley's nursery. We wanted to be surprised with her gender, so we went with Winnie The Pooh! And we got new carpet in this year!

Feb 2006 - Out with the old....

And in with the new. And it's convection!

June 2006 - Start of new bath tub and tile construction

September 2006 - Presley gives her daddy a hand in painting around the house!

October 2006 - New shower/bath! John did an amazing job!

2007 - Presley's nursery became Piper's nursery.

2007 - John's room became Presley's room. And it's blue now.

2008 - The guest bathroom got yet another face lift. It's now painted kind of a blue gray. And the cabinets got some new hardware and a fresh coat of paint.

October 2008 - The girl's playhouse!

October 2008 - The girl's little house in the back even got a new paint job.

July 2009 - Master bathroom got another paint job....pretty!

2009 - Piper's nursery became the girl's shared bedroom.

2009 - Painted antique white from being blue & Presley's room became the girl's playroom

July 2009 - The foyer even got another paint job. Not intentionally either. I was touching up the ceiling paint and messed up the walls, so I had to redo the faux painting.

We stuck with browns.

Aug 2009 - My house's best feature in my opinion, I love my backyard! And the tree as grown so much in 9 years!

Aug 2009 - The living room: polished walls, painted ceiling, cleaned carpet (thanks to Liza!)

I have more pictures, but they are in my other camera and the battery is dead. So those will be posted another day! This was fun.....I just love trips down memory lane! I love our house...always will.
