For those who were asking...

Here are photos of our home. I feel like we have it just about where we like it. Though I lost a lot of decorating space in the move, so I'll just get to rotate things, especially with the holidays!


Here is the view of our living room from the front door.

The other view. The front door is on the left right by the stairs. To the right is our dining room and slider to the back porch. To the left of the slider is a door that goes down to the basement. I won't post pictures of these things for sake of time. The basement has a small t.v. room, small office and laundry room. Mostly it is Dave's studying cave and storage. (soon to have some craft things set up...hopefully.)


The kitchen looks out at our neighbor's porch and garden, not a bad way to wash dishes.


Here is Anna's Room (obviously) It has been fun to finally put her pictures up and decorate since we didn't get to do it in our home in Utah. The room came with yellow walls, so that took some time to get used to. It is a very girlie room and I love it! Hooray for PINK! (:


The window looks right out at a large green space. When we first moved in we didn't have curtains and the sun would come right in. Needless to say, Anna woke up earlier than needed. We found these curtains in our landlords stuff. They are not my favorite, but almost match her glider so it works.

I love the LARGE closets in this place! Though hanging clothes is a little different. People in Michigan like to put the hangers in backwards.
You don't see a rod in the closet? Well there isn't one, you put it on the back of the shelf which has a little lip on it. It has more of a cleaner look, but will take time to get used to.
Our sanctuary...not really, but we do get "some" sleep here, that is if Anna has a good night. We didn't do any painting or buy the curtains, that was all the landlord's doing, luckily everything went well with our color scheme. We love all the windows in this place, even though the front is shaded by the many trees, the light is fabulous. I didn't put a picture of our open closet, because the shelves are too high for me, so I tend to throw things up and it gets messy. (okay I kinda did that before the height was an issue, but we won't go into that.)

We are really comfortable here and have loved re-decorating a new home!
