More House Pics

Now that we have unpacked and there are no more boxes (except in the garage), I took some pics of our rooms with our furniture in them. We still haven't hung much on the walls, and we're considering painting in some color splashes,  but at least we've decided on furniture arrangements.

We decided to put the kids' computer in the living room so we could monitor their internet use. Ideally, it would go in the basement, but for now, their computer will remain upstairs.  You can see that Leah is quite comfy in her new digs, as well.

Here is the foyer. I am very excited to have a house with a foyer. It feels very grown-up.  :) I purchased the furniture piece below on craigslist. We used it as a file cabinet in the rental, but in our new house it will be where we keep mittens, gloves, and winter stuff.  By the way, I would estimate that half of our furniture has come from craigs list. I love buying quality furniture pieces at great prices!  It's a fun hobby for me.

Here is Sophie's room. I am letting the girls take the reins with their spaces. It's tough, but I think it is important that they have some say. So . . . Sophie's room is . . . you guessed it. . . pink. She likes princesses and fairies.  This is somewhat of a before shot. We'll add wall color and accessories down the road.

Her dresser is one of my favorite recent craigs list purchases. It is in mint condition, adorable, and purchased for less than 100 dollars.  It goes really well with the night stand I painted  for her last summer.

Consider Madeline's room a "before" picture, too. She has big plans that include bright green walls and more of a "tween" style.  The pictures leaning on her wall will likely not make the cut. Look closely at the paint swatches on her window sill for hints of her room's future.

Our entire lower level is pretty much furniture-less. We're not sure when we'll put anything in that space, but it will probably be in the winter since that is where our fireplace is, and we love having a fire on a cold winter night. There is a lot of room for company down there and an air mattress. We would love some company if you are planning to visit the DC area!
