1. You now know Jason and Verity's rap names (guess which one belongs to whom)
2. You finally get to see pictures our new house.
We have held off posting photos until 75% of our stuff was unpacked. So here it is!
The master bedroom. While we were at the apartment, we had a bedroom set, but we gave it to my brother when we moved into my mom's house. We have found one that we like at Ashley Furniture, we just have to order it and have it delivered. This is the only room we have painted so far.
The master bathroom. It is only a half bath, but in our price range, it was rare to find more than one bath, so we are very happy to have it. This was the color that was originally in the bedroom. It looks ok in a small space like this, but not in a large room.
The main bathroom. Luckily, the previous owners barely updated this room, so it looks really nice, and we don't have to fix anything right away. It is a good size, though we miss having double sinks (maybe in the future).
The spare bedroom. As you can tell, this room is currently functioning as Jason's workout/rockout room. When we eventually succumb to pressure and have kids, this is where they will sleep. Until then, it will be filled with Jason's awesomeness.
The office. The picture turned out way to dark, but you can see that this is our office.
Our living room. The place where we spend the most amount of time, especially since we have gotten cable. This room also features our touch lamp, one of the best things ever invented.
The living room, part two. Here you can see the fireplace and a better view of the windows. Our house gets a lot of light, and during the day, we hardly ever turn on the lights.
The entry/foyer. The door opens right into the kitchen, which is a bit unusual (and means that I alway need to try and keep the kitchen clean).
The kitchen. This was also updated by the previous owners. I was so happy we could fit our table here, and even though I hate the sink (never, ever buy a white sink-worst idea ever!), everything else is very nice.
The laundry/mud room. Pretty self explanatory-this is were we do laundry. Our water heater is also here, but our furnace lives in the crawl space, which sucks for Jason, since I refuse to go down there.
The garage. This was another thing we lucked out on. Most houses we looked at only had carports, so just a one car garage is really nice. Of course, we cannot actually park in it because of all the stuff in the way, but eventually it might serve its purpose. You can't see it, but Jason built a mini climbing wall by the door.
The front of the house/yard. We haven't had a chance to do much landscaping because of the weather, but we did pull out all of the ivy that was growing in front of the house, so in spring we can put in a flower bed. By the time we moved in, the grass was hopeless, but Scott has graciously offered to help revive it in the spring.
The back yard. As you can see, nothing has really been done to the back yard. Jason has lots of plans in the spring, but for now, it doesn't have much use for us. It is a good size, and we like the patio.So there it is-our first house. WE are very grateful to have found it, and love that we can continue to live in Holladay.
