Home Sweet Home

On June 15 we closed on a house in Indianapolis. It was quite the process getting all the verification our lender needed, and we wondered if we'd be able to close on time. Thanks to some good luck, it worked out. Once we arrived in Indy we had five days to settle in before Matt began residency training. It was a busy five days to say the least.

I'm hesitant to post pictures of our place because it's still really barren--white walls, empty rooms, etc. But because I really like the people who've requested them (and it will probably be some time before walls are painted and furniture bought) I will. :)

Home Sweet Home

I still can't believe I live here.

Backyard

We have our work cut out for us getting this grass to grow.

View from the Front Door

Great room straight ahead and closet and powder room to the left

Imagine new couches, a great paint color, and drapes. I think that will make this room look fab.

Great room view from the breakfast area

Powder Room

Kitchen

Matt and I picked out the colors in the kitchen. I was scared it'd look too dark, but I absolutely love it! Only probably with dark is that it shows dirt so easy. I am mentally refusing, though, to mop the kitchen more than once a week.

Upstairs Loft

This serves as the TV area and playroom. Eventually we want the lovely floral couch to grace this space.

Baby Sister's Bedroom

Ironic, her bedroom looks the most complete of any bedroom, and it won't be in use for another two months. This picture also made me realize that I should have taken pics of each room right after I'd vacuumed. Don't you love vacuum lines?

Skylie's Room

She slept in a pack-n-play during her two-week stay in Utah and had a fit when we tried to put her back in a crib. We all pick our battles, and that's not going to be one of mine.

Eventually this will be our office with the desk and floral loveseat. Until I learn (or more likely--hire someone) to install a phone jack in this room, our computer lives elsewhere, and this room is empty.

Laundry Room

Master Bedroom

Now that we have internet our desk is now in this room, too.

Master Bathroom

I think Matt and I did a good job picking out those colors as well, if I do say so myself. :) The other side of the bathroom has a storage closet, garden tub, and shower.
