A quick tour of our new home
I finally got around to taking some pictures of our place. We don’t have everything set up yet, not even close. But most of the boxes are unpacked aside from the guest room.
This is the formal living/dining area that we are using as a playroom and office combo. I figured it would be better to have my computer out where the kids are playing so I can get some work done with them nearby, and if I need to get away when my husband’s home I can always take my laptop into the craft/guest room.
I took these pictures before Christmas and had my decorations up at the time.
I got the rug from Target, and the desk from Ikea. My chair is from Ross, as is the chest under my desk that I keep my microphone and other office supplies in.
Lil’ J also has a play kitchen in this room now that Santa brought her for Christmas, I’ll hafta update these photos once I have more things on the walls and show that off.
I plan to sew long bench seat pillows for the lower Ikea shelves and the windowsill and that will become the main seating for the room. I like having the open space to play though.
I’ve been organizing *eBay collections with more of my ideas for our playroom. I’m keeping my eye on wooden puzzels, and play food, as well as picture frames and artwork for and other rooms in my house. That’s one tough thing I’m finding about having a new place. I can’t stop shopping to try and fill it! I’m starting to realize that this is something that doesn’t happen overnight, and it’ll take years to get it the way I want it, and even then, I’ll probably want to start over. For now I’m trying to find good deals where I can, and many of them are online. You can follow me to see what deals I’m finding for my mom cave and play room (many of them under $20).
I love my kitchen. Which is really funny considering I’m not much of a fan of being in it. But all the stainless steel, the cabinets, and countertops welcome me. I plan to spend a lot of time in here next year.
The family room walls are a huge work-in progress, as are the curtains and accent pillows I’m hunting for. I bought a portable fireplace with a mantel to spice up the space, and fill it in since the area is so large.
I redid Big-T’s room similar to his last, but this time he doesn’t share it with my sewing stuff. I want to make letters and put his name above his crib.
Lil’ J’s room is one of the only painted rooms in the house, but I haven’t hung anything on her walls yet, I’m still indecisive.
The guest/sewing room was full of boxes a few days ago but my mother-in-law’s visit finally forced me to unpack them.
Nothin’ much to our guest bathroom but it’s got a cute purple theme.
The laundry room isn’t large, but it’s the largest one we’ve ever had. I got bins to store everything so detergent and whatnot is tucked away neatly.
Our room fits our king bed, dresser and has a room for a lot more. Eventually I’d like to get nice bookshelves, and maybe a loveseat to go in here since there’s so much extra space. I’m still torn about whether or not we should mount our TV since it’s so small compared to our big wall.
Arguably my favorite upgrade is our jetted tub, which none of us can get enough of.
So that’s a little peek at our new abode. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf and keep it clean. We’ll see how long that lasts.
Feel free to share your decorating wisdom for the unwise!

It looks nice! I’ve calculated when we will probably start looking to buy a house and it might be quite a few years from now, blah! It seems like yall really like living in Texas, but I’ve only driven through there. We can’t decide where we want to end up. But having a kid is making me want to settle down sooner rather than later. We’ll see. 🙂 … I hope you can keep that place clean and cutely decorated and full of four-course meals, lol. You can do it!
Congrats on the new abode! I can’t remember if I said that already. I know I smiled from ear to ear when I found out y’all were building. Love how cozy it is. I also love your decor style, the espresso/dark cabinets/furnish are my favs especially with kids in the house. I’m crushing on your headboard and desk! <3
