House Tour Part 1

Per request, I'm going to post a few pictures of the house. We bought a house that for being 25 years old is in excellent shape and has never had little kids living in it. The home has been maintained in a way that Dennis and I can only dream of maintaining a home. It only needed a few cosmetic changes which we are slowly getting done. Here is the kids' bedroom. It was mauve, now it's a (little too) bright green. Our house has lots of angles and nooks, which is why I love the house. This little nook, which is part of the dining room has become the kids' art corner. It was one of the first areas of the house that was completed as I always wanted the kids to have a little art space but our old apartment just didn't have enough room. Now they can color, draw, stamp, stencil, sticker, cut and paste and create to their little hearts content. They do spend a lot of time in this corner.I'll post more pictures as time goes on. We're in the process of finishing up a few more rooms but they still need stuff on the walls or they're lacking little details that makes it our space. I'll keep you posted!
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but please come see us. Bemidji is a lovely place to visit. You can see more of this great Northern Minnesota travel destination here.

I'm sure the kids are excited for their new spaces! I also painted some green in Rya's room that is a little brighter than I anticipated. Its a tough color to choose!

25 years?... that's a baby house! Mine was built in 1913. Yeesh, huh? :)
