house tour

I've been promising this for a while, so here it is.....a tour of our new home in Charleston via pictures.  We are renting this house and were so blessed to find a place we like so much with a great family as landlords.  Hold tight, this is going to involve a lot of pictures and probably not that many words, but hope you enjoy the "tour."

This is probably my favorite wall of the house, so we'll start here.  This is our photo wall which is part of a room that serves as the dining room (see below)/this area.
Dining room with part of the kitchen to the left.  Please excuse the pile of stuff under the window.  That is our "get rid of" pile.

Another view of the dining room table.  Still trying to figure out what to do with this wall if anyone has any suggestions ;)

Our kitchen.  Much smaller than our kitchen in Morgantown so we're trying to find some creative storage options.  This area is definitely still a work in progress.

This is what I like to call our "multipurpose room."  It currently serves as a workout room/office/hangout area with fireplace and couches.  Eventually going to try to figure out a way to make this room flow/work better but it is what it is for now.

Another view of our "multipurpose room" looking toward the fireplace and back door.  Schroder couldn't help but get in this one.

View of our front door and entry area.
Living room

One last view of the living room.

Guest room #1, which Schroder has apparently claimed as "his" room.

Guest room #2.  Please excuse Jamie's surf board and surf gear on the bed.

Our room

My shoe/clothes/jewelry storage area.  Trying to adjust to a smaller closet by using some different storage ideas.  Any other suggestions are welcome and appreciated.  We hope to get a chest of drawers to replace this plastic drawer situation when we find one cheap and have some extra money.

View of our room, looking into our bathroom.

Our screened in back porch.  Such a fun place to hang out, especially when we turn on those string lights overhead.

Our HUGE fenced in backyard (yep, it goes all the way back to that tree line).  This is definitely the dogs' favorite part of this house and we are enjoying it as well (minus the mosquitoes).



The house is definitely still a work in progress, especially when it comes to decorating, but hope you enjoyed the pictorial tour!  We love having visitors (hint, hint) ;)

welcome my hubby to the blogging world

I promise when life slows down I will post some pictures of our new house and somewhat of an update.  Until then, Jamie has started a blog where you can read about what's been going on with us.  Enjoy!
