We’ve been in our new home for three months and are finally feeling settled in! I couldn’t wait to share more of our home with you, so come on in!
Kitchen
Might be my favorite part of the house! I love how light and bright it is and hello double ovens. Ekkk. We love spending time in the kitchen and absolutely love how it all came together. We bought these barstools for our island and have been enjoying them. Michael’s mom also painted us this oil painting from our trip to Tuscany last year and I love reminiscing about our trip while I’m making my coffee every morning! There is also a huge walk in pantry with an outlet. Perfect for storing our Dyson cordless vacuum!
Keeping Room
I love how open our floor plan is with so much natural light coming in from the windows! Also how beautiful is this new light fixture we bought? I absolutely love how this room came together with plenty of seating for our family and friends!
Living Room
I love how open our floor plan is with so much natural light coming in from the windows! We’ve enjoyed unwinding here.
Deck
One of my favorite things is to be outside! I’m so excited for our outdoor living space right off of our living room. As soon as Michael saw the fireplace option he had to have it. I think it really finishes off the space. We bought this set right after we went under contract and we are absolutely in love with it! We also had the builder put in stairs so that Maci can easily run in and out of the house to the yard.
Mud Room
When I saw this built in mud room in the model home I knew I had to have it. Can’t wait for our baby boy’s tiny little backpack to hang on these hooks.
Garage
We’re excited for our extra wide two car garage and love the staircase detail leading to the house. We just bought a new family car a Limited Platinum Toyota Highlander. We’re loving it! We’re only keeping a few things we use most often and everything else will be in the basement. It’s so nice having a clean and clear garage!
Main Floor Guest Bedroom
One of my favorite things about this house is that there is a main floor guest bedroom. Especially when our baby boy comes this will make having our family and friends staying with us more pleasant! Since we don’t have any family in Georgia a guest bedroom is a must for us.
Laundry room
Another favorite part of the house! The laundry room is accessable from both our master bathroom and hall way! Doing laundry has never been so convienent. I’m also so excited to have built in cabinets and a sink in our laundry room. Makes spot cleaning and soaking out stains so much easier! My dad has already installed a hanging rack and shelf making things that much more convient.
Master bedroom
Our master bedroom and closet are hardwood, which we love! We recently bought this rug and absolutely love how it fits in this room! The room has plenty of natural light and I love the tray ceiling detail. The bathroom is gigantic with so much counter space and the walk-in shower even has a full ledge. We also took down the ceiling fan and replaced it with this dreamy chandelier! I’m obsessed with it!
Master bedroom closet
When we saw how large our his and her walk-in closet was we knew we wanted to make sure we optimized the space. We had design appointments with three different companies. We met with Artisan closets last and fell in love with their design and process. We also loved that they were local. We had our custom closets installed the day we moved in and we’re so happy!
Office / Playroom
Since I work from home having a room for my office was a must. It’s important to me to have a space that I can go to everyday and feel productive. With three huge windows this room was it! The closet alone is large enough for me to fit my whole office into! For now, this room will be our shared office space then transition to our office/playroom when our baby boy is a bit older.
Second Guest Bedroom (for now)
Until we have our second baby we will have a second guest bedroom upstairs. We’re using the bed I had when I was a teenager and a pull out coutch. This space has been perfect for our summer guests and extra storage.
Nursery
This was the most recent room of the house to be completed and I’m in love with how it turned out! We were even featured on the liketoknow.it.family Instragram here and shared more here. My mom designed and hand made his drapes, bumper, dust ruffle, and pillow. I’ll writing a blog post with more details very soon, so stay tuned! Now that his room is 99% complete I’m feeling more and more ready for his arrival.
Basement
Having a basement was not on our must have list initially, but we are super excited about this space. For now, it will serve as an extra-large storage unit where we can keep things nice and organized. It will be nice to have things layed out and easy to find instead of having to go up into our attic for everything. Since the main house is more than double the size of our current townhome we don’t have any plans to finish out the basement.
Patio
The patio is where we are keeping the grill. Since we will spend most of our time on the deck we just put the two chairs we had on our previous patio down there.
Thank you for following along! We truly feel so blessed to welcome our little one in this home!
