  • Pics of the new house!

    We are pretty much moved in!  Yes, we are sleeping, cooking and cleaning here but there are still a few things to be completed before it is "done." 
     
    • Install trim around windows and walls
    • Install the cabinet above the toilet
    • Make/install bedroom and closet doors
    • Make/install closet fixtures
    • move in couches and kitchen table
    And in new news::::::  we are getting goats!  I think we are getting 3 female boar goats, but haven't actually bought them yet.  Josh really wants goats so they can eat the poison ivy and other weeds on our overgrown property, and so they can provide education for Lizzie and her future siblings.  The fencing is in my van, ready to be put up and then we will go looking for goats! 

    But you want to see pics of the new house? OK! 




    The front door and living room.  I can't believe the brush strokes show up on the camera - darn!  LOL  That big cardboard box is Lizzie's play house. Josh cut her a door and two windows.




    Our awesome Rustic Hickory cabinets and kitchen!  This is my favorite room. Josh worked so hard on it and did a FANTASTIC job! 



    Our bathroom cabinets - also rustic hickory.  Josh's side is on the left. He customized it so I - his short little wife, can have the bigger drawers and lower sink!



    Our gorgeous bedroom.  The walls are a dark red/purple color.  The coffered ceiling is a pink - and only around the ledge, the rest of it is white :)  Lizzie's bed will go next to her changing table when we bring it in.

    Gotta go!

    I'll update more when I can, but I still don't have the internet at my house. Thank you!

    Wow, your home is beautiful! I do like that kind of wood. Congrats on your home! How exciting! 

    I don't know much about that breed of goat. I had 2 full bred nubeans and one half nubean half something else, I can't remember now. But all the goat breeders I've ever talked to say that nubeans are the most friendly and laid back kind of goat. I LOVED mine. They were like big dogs, lol. So I would highly recommend them for kids. They are also intelligent, not stupid like sheep, which is what a lot of people think. How fun! Enjoy them!

    I love your house. It's nice, and spacey! Aw that is awesome that you guys are going to get goats. My mom has a client who has goats, and she drinks the goats milk which makes her body immuned to poison ivy.
