Our House...

So our house is actually "on the market" because we were thinking that if it will sell then we would be willing to sell it... We hate debt in our family... and because of the last couple of really bad-for-our-business years we have had we have some... so we felt it would be harder for God to sell it if it isn't listed... It will have to be a God thing because the odds of us selling this place with the shop and the acres and the improvements that we have in it are pretty slim right now in our area! We obviously live in a very rural area... we have neighbors but we can not see any of them from our house, LOVE that!! We are slowly transforming our property into a "Homestead," you know, where you try to make your property as self sustaining as you can... We have the house, shop, gardens, wooded lot, there is a stream but it only flows maybe 10 months a year, there is several acres of "field" (it is rented to a local farmer right now) and we are currently working on the orchard. Today... March 21... we have been putting the posts in for the orchard... Our trees will come in a few short weeks, so we want to be ready, so the deer can't eat them all up!

I thought i would share a few photos... most of these were taken in December... Thus... the Christmas deco...


This is the view from the road, of our long driveway and the shop... we love that you can't see the house from the road!

The shop! This is where we store all the equipment for the businesses.



At the top of the hill coming down the drive toward the house.

The view from the house toward the Shop and drive.
The Foyer and Dining room.

Dining room toward the kitchen and hallway.


The Living room... wood fireplace. We love this room! We spend a lot of time in here together!



We have these cool boxes built into the wall in the living room, and dining room...


This is currently our guest room... but as soon as Kimi is coming the boys will be moving in here and Kimi will get the "nursery". I think it is a good boy color!
The Kids' bathroom shared with any guests.

Going into the hallway that leads to the master room, the garage and basement.

The Master Bedroom. There is a deck outside the doors... It is a lovely room!

Master bath... there is a walk in closet, and a little room for the toilet.

The sign...
Some of the gardens at the house... the deer have been nuzzling around in the snow looking for things to eat... they did find some kale and swiss chard left for them!


The basement... Books, tv and toys!



Workout space...
My lovely laundry room... that desperately needs some paintings... or something!

The Bathroom in the basement... These rooms were not intended to look so purple... btw... more blue... but that is not what we ended up with! its ok... its pretty anyways.
My Scrapbook room!! i LOVE this room!!! The boys even have a desk where they keep stuff and they can color or "scrap" with me too... Although this usually doesn't work out too well... They need to bug me too much...


We have this air-hockey table... that takes up entirely too much room!!! I think i might list it on Craigslist. As well as the couch below...
