Last night, we had the Walkers over for dinner, Steak Out to be exact, and WE MADE AN OFFER on their house. The lender and the realtor say that it could be as early as two to three weeks and we should be closing on the house. I cannot believe that in less than a month from now we will be closing on our new house. Its a doozy too in a good way! Let me take you through the house, room by room. First, its a little over 1700 square feet. Thats about 300 more square feet than we have now in our house now. So, lets walk through the front door.
The foyer has tile flooring and there is room to put a bench and a mirror in the foyer. We will also be putting a coat rack there and turning the coat closet into a linen closet. So, you walk through the foyer and turn to the left and you are in the hall way with the two bedrooms and the hall bathroom. The first bedroom, which is now Selah's room, will be our guest/game room. We will also be storing Gracie's school stuff in there. I plan on putting a queen size bed in there with a night stand, three bookcases, and a game table for Jeremy's games. I think we will have plenty of room in there for all of that stuff.
The second bedroom, which is now Nolan's bedroom, will be Gracie's bedroom. Right now, his walls are painted grey and the side wall is painted a tone on tone stripe. We are going to paint her room in a light green. Her bedroom furniture will stay the same and her horse theme will remain. Infact, I don't think we will be adding any furniture to her room at all. Her room is pretty simple except for the painting.
The hall bathroom is pretty simple too. It is painted a light grey too but thats okay because it looks very crisp with all the white furniture and the white shower curtain. I am not sure what colors I will do for that room but maybe green and yellow?
Next, on the right of the foyer in the dining room. As it stands right now, we will be taking our rustic farm table and benches with us and putting them in the dining room. I will probably want to replace the light fixture but nothing else to that room. Later it would be nice to add a china cabinet to the dining room. Right now we are not going to be doing anything else with the dining room.
Right through the foyer is the great room. This room is painted a light blue and we will not be changing the color for now. But what will be changing is that we will be getting all new living room furniture. I am planning on getting a couch, a love seat, a coffee table, two end tables, and a media center. We will be keeping the drapes that are in there and the carpets are being cleaned and having a protectant put on them. I am not sure how all the furniture is going to work out but I would like to get all of that as I have never gotten all new living room furniture before. This is going to be the house we are in for the long haul so I hope we can get all the new furniture I want. I am going to be putting Gracie's picture over the mantel and getting a mantel clock and some sort of plant for the mantel.
To the left of the great room is the master bedroom and through the master bedroom is the master bathroom. We are going to be getting a new bed and a night stand for the bedroom. I would like to do dark furniture with a four poster bed. I would like to do a bulky type bed because the bedroom is very big. Its huge!! Next we will go on to the master bathroom, which I am most excited about. It is painted the color of the living room, a light sky blue. It has a double vanity, a garden tub, a separate shower, and a huge walk in closet. These are things Jeremy and I have always wanted in a house. I soak alot, almost every night so the garden tub is going to be wonderful for us. Jeremy has been wanting a separate shower for as long as we have been talking about a house and he is finally getting one!! Now, we are not going to be doing anything with the master bathroom except for decorating it with candles and such. No painting or anything else.
To the right of great room is the eat in kitchen, laundry room, and garage. The kitchen is tiled and is beautiful with maple cabinetry, and beautiful stone back splash. I am so excited about the appliances in the kitchen as well as the large pantry. I am not sure what we are going to do with the eat in kitchen right now. I would love to be able to put another table and chairs for us to have breakfast there and Gracie and I have to have our lunch. We are not going to be able to afford anything like that right now but we are going to put Sheldon, our bunny rabbit in the kitchen as he is a big mess!! We will be painting the kitchen at some point but I have no clue what color we would paint it right now. We will have to think long and hard about that and for now, we will leave it as is.
Next is the laundry room and the garage. Per our agreement, they are leaving their washer and dryer and I am sure Jeremy and I will be adding cabinets above the washer and dryer. Thats about it to that room and the garage is pretty simple. I am not sure if we are going to be able to park my van in there but its okay if not. It really is.
We are really excited about this house and pictures will follow once we get moved in. The only con to buying this house is once we close, which will be about a month, we have to wait five months to move in. Thats how long it will take for the Walkers new house to be built. Thats okay, its well worth the wait!!! Stay tuned for pictures!!
