Our Humble Abode #209

We are now 2 1/2 weeks moved into our new home and as much as it still is a work in progress we are definitely seeing it look like home. Here is a quick tour for you and as we start to get more things hung and settled in I'll have to update again.

We just got the porch furniture from Harrison's mom and dad on Sunday out of their garage and are loving it! We jokingly reference the porch as our humongous front porch because before officially moving in and my seeing the house we were discussing where we would put our grill and other things when Harrison's mom and dad informed us that we have a humongous front porch! It is nice and spacious or a front porch on a house. Not sure about it being humongous though....

By far the greatest thing about our house is how close it is to the church, Hocutt Baptist Church. Yes that is our church right next door where Harrison is interning with the youth. The church blessed us with this house and we are excited to see what the year here holds for us.

One of my favorite features of our house is our cute mailbox where we receive our mail! We don't have your typical mailbox at the driveway but instead our mailman comes to our side door and places it in our cute little box hanging on our house.

 Our friends Dave and Ashley bought a house not too far away not to long ago and conveniently both of our house numbers are 209 so we've now started our #209 trend together. 

 Here is our lovely den. We've been blessed by having a family from the church give us the couch set and we've added pillows and curtains are hanging but no ties and arranging yet.

 We've hung our picture frames and put pictures in all but one.... holding out for a wedding pic to go in that one! We did manage to paint this room its same color for a fresh touch up to wall marks and then painted our master bedroom.

 Master bedroom, haven't quite made it to hanging any pictures in this one just yet but we sure do love how the paint turned out....

 Our bedding we were able to get thanks to the many Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards given and I still have a little sewing and monogramming work to do but it's getting there.

Full bath.... this weekend's fun task will be building our shelf to put in to hold towels and such

 Here is our dining room... waiting on one more curtain panel and then still have to hang frames but we do love our little nook bookshelf

 This corner shelf I bought with my mom at an auction in college and it fits great in our dining room.

Here's our lovely kitchen. We still have a high table to add against the side wall and a project to make a chalkboard menu above it but I sure do enjoy cooking in it.

I also enjoy having the open window and bar to what's going to be our pingpong room for when guests are over playing and I am cooking.

Here's the view through the window... right now it's the wedding gift room and bike storage/laundry room but soon we'll get to it.

And here's our guest bedroom.... we're bringing in a drawer set tonight and still have to hang some things but we're slowly making our way to getting it done.

Thanks for taking the tour of our home! We still have work to do but are loving living here and the blessing that it is!
