We LOVE, love, love our new house! Benton and I feel like it was meant to be, everything worked out for us perfectly. We both can see us raising our family in this home which means we can see us living here for a long time. It has felt like home since the first night we slept here. We cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for us!
We have met about 10 of our neighbors, which is unbelievable for us. I keep feeling like we should pinch ourselves because it is a dream come true. We have never been friends with any neighbors except the Nobles in Illinois, who I miss daily! I think this is going to be a wonderful neighborhood!
We normally are a little faster at putting our stuff away but the trip to the hospital delayed us a couple days. But I can say as of yesterday our house is officially all unpacked and clean! I love being able to relax in our new home.
Our house was built in 1969 but the previous and only owners of the house took really good care of it and did some renovations.
Come take a tour of our new house with me!
Our backyard...
Our entry way. I have this pet peeve of wearing shoes in my house. Ever since I had Cambree I've been obsessive about taking our shoes off. I imagine where the shoes have been and then what Cambree is touching and it makes me a little sick. So I got this cute saying off Etsy along with this basket from TJ Maxx, I think it's pretty cute!
Living room upstairs, it will probably be where Cambree plays during the day. I love that she can scatter her toys everywhere.
My favorite part of my house is this kitchen. I have never really had a big kitchen and I am loving the size of our new kitchen. I could sleep on the floor because I love it so much, I spend so much time in the kitchen that I am pleased to be cooking in here!
Also, I have never had so many cupboards in all my life. I love that the drawers in the cupboards pull out, it's amazing!
Dining room...
Our master bedroom, thankfully our furniture fits!
This is hanging on our closet door, any ideas of what it's for? I'm trying to understand if it's a rack to hang clothes, shoes...what is it?
Master bathroom. After one year of only having one bathroom I am in love that I now have 3 again.
Cambree's bedroom, I still need to finish a couple touches~like adding a rug, but it's still pretty cute!
My second favorite room in my house...the laundry room! Again, we have never owned a house with an actual laundry room. It's amazing, I'm not sure how I survived without it?
Built in laundry baskets, such a great idea!
Guest bathroom downstairs...
Our family room, we bought this sectional since our other couch is stuck in our Syracuse house...when we moved we couldn't get it out so it's there with our tenants!
We bought a new TV stand, Benton was done with our other one. He was pretty happy about his find and purchase!
And that's our new home. We are ready for visitors whenever you'd like, now I finally have a home that friends can come and play for a while!

Oh Melissa! It's BeAuTiFuL!!! I'm so happy you've found a new home and are getting all settled in. I'm insanely jealous! ;)
Congrats to you guys! It is beautiful and you are so organized and decorate so cute!
Oh my goodness, i missed quite a few of your posts. First off, your house is soooooo pretty. i love, love, love it. Oh that kitchen, I wish it were mine. The prettiest kitchen I have ever seen. And you have such a way of making a house a home, you really do have a knack for it. Seriously, so beautiful. Oh and I am the same way on shoes in my house...yuck!
Next, holy crap on your little mini stroke. How is that even possible...we are still so young. I hope you get some answers on that, and I am so glad it was not worse. Must have scared the crap out of you though.
And last, your holidays looked wonderful. Such a beautiful family you guys are!
I have some serious laundry room envy my friend, it's incredible, so pretty and just look at all that cabinet room! I would love a laundry room like that mine you can barely turn around in.
Beautiful home, it looks like a perfect fit for your family. I am glad you are loving it so much and feeling so at home. Congrats friend I am so happy for you!
Love your new house, really jealous of your kitchen and laundry room!
