We have been our our house for a month and a half now! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
This is the front of our house--in case you couldn't tell. Even though it was move in ready, there are still some things we would like to do. For example, the orange rocks (you can see them at the end of the driveway). They aren't our favorite choice for landscaping. I love that we have a garage! No more scraping the windows, or getting into a hot car!
To the right you will see a view of our yard--yes, lots to do back here--as well as a picture of the back of the house. I think it is fun to have a shed as well. Not much in there right now, and for a while it was just a noise maker. A lady in our ward said, "welcome to the Chicago of Utah." It is true that Lehi is a very windy place, so when we first moved, the shed doors would swing open and bang all night. You can just imagine what Milly did all night with that noise.
When you walk into our house, you find the more "formal" living room. Someday we will be able to afford furniture for this room. We have actually ended up spending more time here than we thought we would, so we are hoping to get some new furniture sooner than later!
When you walk in the door and look straight ahead,
you see the dining area. Shown on the right. The house came with a convenient little tv in the kitchen. It has been fun using it while preparing dinner. Here are some more pictures of the kitchen. The kitchen is one of my favorite parts of the house because it is just right for us, and there is a lot of counter and cupboard space.
Let me explain the picture with the vinyl lettering. The previous owner left it there, so we decided to put a rod up and pictures below it. It is very popular around here these days. Now we need ribbon to make it look like the pictures are hanging, and some pictures in the frames. When it is actually finished, it will look better.
So when you head downstairs from the kitchen, you see a big, blank wall. We are still working on decorating it. I love that it is "downstairs" yet so bright and sunny during the day. And you can also see out the windows to the backyard.
Here are a few more pictures of our family room. We love the furniture we found. The couch and loveseat together were a steal! We love to just sink into the couches!
We also just purchased a large wall clock. All we have had is trouble because the hands are so big. Maybe it will end up back at the store.
From the kitchen, if you decide to go upstairs you will find the bedrooms. Not much to say about those, so I will just post the pictures. Someday we will have children to fill the rooms, instead of all of our junk. Right now they make great guest bedrooms though! So if anyone wants to visit Utah and needs a place to stay, The Jeffs' Bed & Breakfast is open--as long as you don't mind a crazy yellow lab running around!
Well, now that I have spent 2 hours (literally) trying to get the pictures the way I want them, without much success, I think it is a good thing it is spring break and I don't have much else to do! Seriously, we would love to have anyone come and stay with us--you are always invited!
