House Meme

Well we are off to TN for our Adoption Reunion.....the HIGHLIGHT of my summer.... so I will be gone for a few days. I am NOT bringing my computer.....unlike some "OTHER'S" in my group! lol So you will have to wait for "MY" version of the reunion pictures until next Monday morning! ;) My sister and Mother will be here with Baby Daniel.....yes...poor little man is getting left behind. This reunion is about Sophia and her journey so we wanted to pay full attention to her and the families we are seeing. Mommy will soooooooo miss her little Thing 2!............ Thought I would leave you with the Inside House Meme that I was tagged with forever ago! Not pictured is our Master Bath, Laundry Room, Guest Bedroom, Half Bath, Play Room (which I thought I had pictured, but guess not) and Pet room. It was just too much. So here is my simple house.....enjoy.

Living room........ with a few of the Thing's toys here and there! ;)
Dining room table and mirror with lights that I had custom made...........I love Sticks furniture.
Kitchen shots.......a room that I wish was bigger.
A few shots of our bedroom.....we also have a master bath not pictured. This room needs a make over......I'm just not sure when to do it. The next remodel will be getting ready for the baby. That's ok......I'll get to it in time. ;)
Daniel's bedroom and bathroom......... he also has two closets in his room. I didn't take that angle shot. This use to be Emmie's room.......once upon a time....purple and pink......now blue, yellow and red.......I never imagined doing a "boys" room. ;) This is Emmie's room. She will be moving downstairs as we prepare for out next arrival. Lucky girl, she gets another new room. And let me tell you....the closet we are going to build will be HUGE! The girls share quite a nice, large bathroom with a sky light to make it sunny & bright. Obviously this is Sophia's room. Bright and cheery. She can see the "Hamster Run" above her closet. And hanging from her ceiling fan is a Double Happiness ornament we got in China. Little did I know at the time that it indeed would bring us Double Happiness. ;)
Ok...when we added on the girls wing in front of the house, we had extra space up above due to the high ceilings. So my little mind went to work and decided that we needed a little play space for the kids. At first it was just going to be storage......oops....sorry guys...change order......we call it "The Hamster Run"....don't ask me why. It runs along the top of the hallway from Emmie's room all the way down to Sophia's. Sophia LOVES it up here. However, when the guys had to paint it and the carpet guys came...I don't think they were too happy. Oh well...... it's like their very own Harry Potter closet. ;) So there you have it, minus a few rooms....my little home that the Tribe lives in! ;)

OMG....I really thought you had a huge hamster cage up there!!! I guess I watch too many of those extreme home shows. Love that use of space. Love your home....isn't if funny how the parent's room is the last on the list of priorities?

insanemommy said...

Your home is truly a reflection of you. It is warm, inviting and so filled with love. I can feel it in every room. I especially was feeling the love when I noticed my picture on your computer. That was me. Right?! I would like to see my accommodations. Please post pictures of the presidential suite. The master suite is something out of a pleasure mag. Sexxxxxxxxy momma!! Love it...

I love your home! It's beautiful. The Hamster Run is so much fun. Ok, how do you keep your house so clean and organized with that many kiddos? I'd have to clean for a week before I could take pics and blog my house...and I just have one. Hee-Hee.

How long did it take to clean up for the meme?
Fantastic home. It's out of a Pottery Barn ad.
Your tribe had to live in big teepee.
A home to live, breathe, love and make l*ve in that master bed. Do you put the curtains down around the bed to stop onlookers?
