Our New House!!!

This is our new home in Florida! We love it and it's nearly perfect for us. As usual, you can click on the pictures to see them full size.

This, of course, is the outside of the house.


The entry way, we're hoping to put my parents piano where you see the shelves off to the side.


This is the hallway between the two guest rooms and the bathroom between them.


Guest room number one...


The guest bathroom...




Guest room number two...


The living area...one of the highlights of this house for us is the wide open floor plan, because we want the animals to have lots of room to chase each other around. Our current living room is a good size, but the Jilly and the cats can't run around the couch or anything, because it's against the wall.






The dining room...


I think we're going to put my bookshelves in this area, with a couple of chairs pointed toward them to make a reading area, since we don't have the furniture for a sitting area like the current owners have set up.


The beautiful kitchen! We love everything about the kitchen.






An extra room, not sure what we're going to do with it, maybe put the elliptical here?




Laundry room...


We're looking forward to having a pantry because we don't have one currently.


The backyard...we really like the backyard (and *love* the view), we just wish it had some kind of fence for Jilly. So we're going to build one, once we figure out what kind of fence we can build. We were initially worried that we wouldn't be able to put up *any* fence, because we thought our house was pondfront, but while the view is there, it's not technically considered to be pondfront. So, we'll be allowed to put up a fence!












And finally, the master bedroom. It's smaller than the one we have now, but the bathroom makes up for it.






C and I will each have our own closet (one on each side) on the hallway leading to the master bathroom.


The master bathroom is huge...






Craig and I will each have one of these sinks all to ourself! We have double sinks right now, but this seems a little nicer than even that, lol.






Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the tour! My grandpa was nice enough to supervise the home inspection for us and the house pretty much passed with flying colors. He's living in Florida for the winter, which is nice, because we got to see him while we were in Florida, and we'll be able to see him in the winter while we're living in Florida too. There are a couple of things the current owners are fixing (actually, fixed yesterday or the day before). Right now we're just waiting for paperwork, we'll be closing in April and should be able to move straight into the house, that way we won't have to board Jilly and the cats because we need to live in temporary lodging on base.
