Our New House

FINALLY! Here they are...pictures of our new house!

Our house in Texas

This picture is taken immediately after coming in from the garage. You walk into the edge of the kitchen area and the living are is straight in front. Serena is coming out of our bedroom over there to the right.

Still standing in the same place the previous picture was taken, this is what you would see to your left. The kitchen is really nice with lots of counter space, a big pantry, and a decent amount of cupboard space (though they are so high that it is hard to appreciate all that space since it is pretty inaccessible!)

Still standing in the spot the first picture was taken, this is the view over to the right. Just an open room area that we are really only using for books and toys right now. The door you see to the right is facing back to the front of the house and it leads into Serena's room. What you can't see is a tiled hallway that goes from the front door and joins in with the kitchen area. The camera overlooks it, and I didn't bother to get a picture because it's kinda boring. ;)

This is taken immediately upon entering Serena's room. There is a double-door closet to the right. That window is the window you could see in the picture of the front of the house.

This is the view from Serena's door. You can kinda see that hallway area I was talking about to the left. That comes from the front door. Straight ahead is a short hallway. The door on the left is the linen/medicine closet. There is a door on the right which is a full bathroom. The door straight ahead is the spare room.

The bathroom.

The living room. The door goes to the backyard. It's hard to imagine ever using that fireplace! ;)

This was taken from the back door.

Okay. Just before the tile ends and the carpet begins in the main area of the house (see picture above), there is a teeny hallway that is just big enough to have one door on either side of it. The door on the right side leads to this little laundry room (more like a corner, heehee). The door on the left side leads to the master suite.

Our bedroom. It's nice and big...and sparsely furnished, haha! You can see the door in the back corner that leads to our bathroom/closet area.

This is just a peak inside the bathroom. Two sinks - YAY! NICE big bathtub...great for Serena's baths while I do my hair, haha! ;) Immediately to the right of where this picture is taken is the shower. Beyond that is a little hallway that takes you to the large walk-in closet. On the left of that hallway (to the right of the bathtub) is the toilet room.

Well, that's it! We like it a lot! Very nice neighborhood (except for the neighbors' barking dogs, ARGHHHH!!!!) and good location for accessing the places we need to go. It's nice not to be in the middle of the city. In fact, all around our development there are just fields. We have a little less than a 15 minute drive to the closest Walmart, which isn't too bad! I actually took a video, too, so I'll post that in the next post. :) I'm also planning to post some pictures of the park near us, the playground, the pool, etc., soon!
