The new house

Since I posted pictures of our current house, I thought I would post pictures of our new house.  Remember - this is how the house looks now - with the other people's stuff.  But we love it, so I wanted to share.  Be warned - there are a lot of pictures.  This is at the request of my mother!

Here is the outside of the house:
Front:
 Front - the garage is open
 The side entrance door:
 Top of the garage.  Has a weather vane:
 Our 4th garage - which is completely finished so we are going to use it more as a rec room:
 Front of house from a different angle.  Yes - the front yard needs some help - they have too much going on:
 Side of house - this is where the screened in porch is.  Mat and I have a future plan to make this a four season room:
 3 car garage.  This is also finished - this guy didn't mess around!  And the ceilings are really high:
 Inside the garage:
 View of the back porch and back of house:
 Back of house:
 Back of house from further back in the yard.  Again - the yard needs some TLC.  I have many plans:

 Dining room.  Again - I love the window and crown molding:
 view down to the basement.  The basement isn't finished, but huge.  I didn't take pictures:
 Screened in porch.  It runs the length of the side of the house.  It has two doors that exit the house onto the porch:

 This room has a ton of windows:

stairs up to the playroom.  This is another section of the house - off the downstairs.  It was a nice surprise to find.  Since the basement isn't finished, we can use this room until it is:
 Stairs to playroom.  They use it as an office.
 Okay - so after seeing this completely immaculate house, you are going to laugh at this room!
 Apparently, he doesn't throw any papers away.  I will be anxious to show you this room again when we fix it up:
 the floors under the carpet are wood, so we will be taking the carpet up:
 So that is the tour of the house!  I hope you are still awake.  Once we move in and start to make changes, I will share that with you.  But that won't be for awhile.
