Current Home Tour

Oh, our current space.  It’s a haphazard mash-up, work in progress right now.  We are working on building our forever home and living in the future garage while we do it, oh my!  I had great intentions of doing an entire current home tour via video today, but my schedule just hasn’t allowed it.  So instead, I’m going to show and tell a little bit of our current space PLUS an overview of our future new home–YAY!

Right now, the exterior of our house looks a little like this:

I say “a little” because since this photo, they have begun the foundation for our new home and there are blocks and rock everywhere in front of our house!

On the inside, it’s just a really big square.  Downstairs, we have a kitchen on one side and the living room on the other.  Along the back wall there is a half-bath, laundry nook, and pantry.  Upstairs, we have two bedrooms and a full bathroom.  If you were to see this area right now, you would be appalled.  Two walls are stacked chest-high with unpacked boxes.  There are dirty dishes in my sink and clean clothes on my table.  (Because what’s the point of unpacking and then moving it again in a few months?  And I have no excuse for the dirty dishes and clothes on the table other than, life.)

{To see unfurnished pictures of our current space, check out this post.  Or this one, when we installed our own laminate flooring.}  The upstairs will become a guest bedroom and bonus room and the downstairs will all be garage once the new house is complete.  That back porch area will be my new laundry room.  The block room that you see on the porch is a storm shelter.  Along the front of that area we are putting mudroom lockers.

Our new home will look like this:

It’s going to be the white farmhouse of my dreams!  I just know that God has great plans for that guest bedroom.  I have visions of sitting on that front porch with Justin when I am 80 and grandchildren are running around the front yard.  Heck, I have visions of sitting on that front porch with Justin next fall and drinking coffee while my own kids run around and play.  We will host Easter egg hunts, church fellowships, Halloween Hayrides and more at this home and I CAN NOT WAIT, I tell you.
