Parade of Homes: House Tour

I've been recuperating sort of, as much as one can while getting their home ready to share. haha..but I'm back and back with lots of pictures of our home to share. Thanks to Toni for inviting me to join in on her Parade of Homes.


We live in California in this home:

Look a few doors down and you will see the same exact house..oh the beauty of cookie cutter builder homes..sorry for the sarcasm.

WELCOME!

COME ON IN!

As you enter our home we have a huge hallway.

I chose to break it up with a large family collage in our entry.

This is one of my favorite spots in my home.

To the right is our Piano room, as that is pretty much the only thing that happens in here.

Piano lessons and lots of piano practice goes on in this room. I just love listening to my kids play!

I love my stripe curtains inspired by The Yellow Cape Cod. Down the hall a little bit is our dinning room.

I recently changed out the curtains and hung the botantical pictures on each side of our mirror.

The opposite wall is one of my favorite groupings. This glass table was one of our first home purchases. I love these older pictures of my children, especially the one of my oldest son holding my littlest daugther as of now. It melts my heart.

The chair I found at TJ Max and think it just makes the room.

Now here are a couple of rooms you haven't seen..

Our family room..while I like the layout and pieces I have I loathe my fireplace. I would love to replace it with something like this.

Our kitchen has the same wonderful tile as the fireplace and maple cabinets that are nice but yet again I would love to create my dream kitchen....like this one. Love it!

Check out that backsplash tile!

ahh...to dreaming!

Meanwhile we are making ours work....
It's a large kitchen but our everyday table does take up a good portion of it...eating with my family is priority so if it means we have to squish to walk around the table so be it. :) We enter our home through our garage which enters directly into our laundry room.

This is what you see when you enter the house from the laundry room.

Our "mud room" or launch pad.

Take a right and there is a bathroom

and THE BOYS ROOM! (Still a work in progress)

Now lets go upstairs...This is our loft/playroom.

Down the hall is what we now call the GIRL'S WING. All of our little girls will be all sleeping here soon.

The Big Girls Room!

A sea of pink of course!

And a SNEAK PEEK at the little one's room...it's coming along.

Need to hang a few things, and purchase a IKEA shelf.

How would you like to do see what the model home designer thought would look so great in a bathroom....okay I am warning you!

Someone went a little bit crazy with marquee diamonds. YIKES...let's just say I loathe it but trying to live with it for now.

Moving on to the master bedroom...the last stop on the tour!

And there you have it our home..Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy the rest of the Parade of Homes here.
