Our First House!!

We couldn't be happier with our first house, it is everything we could want. We feel so blessed and fortunate to get to live here.
We did some remodeling to update the house before we moved in. Jonathan and his brother Denys tiled the entry way, kitchen, laundry room and lower bathroom. We had it painted and re-carpeted and put in new kitchen countertops. It has been a fun transformation and it is nice to finally have it decorated.
This sunroom is our favorite room (except for me, my studio wins) but we love to relax in here, the brick used to be the outside of the house and the previous owners built the addition in 1982. I would like to paint the brick, but Jonathan says he likes the sports bar feel is gives behind the tv!
Denys and Jonathan did a beautiful job tiling the kitchen, I love it!!


My creative haven. I just started oil painting today for the first time in who knows how long... almost 2 years!! So, this red canvas is no longer red and a beach scene is going over it and most of it is sky now.
The boys love the backyard, and no longer enjoy being corraled :) They now have a little slide they love going down!
This enormous tree is our favorite part of the backyard. We have a swing that looks like a caperpillar that hold 2, that hangs from the branch. The boys love it.

The house and kids are beautiful. You are indeed blessed. I can't believe that this is just a first home. It looks huge and the garden is fabulous. I am so proud of my nephews...what talent!
