We're In!!!

For some time now Manis and I have been working on building our own house.  Many of you have been praying with us, supporting us, and in many ways encouraging us through this process... THANK YOU!  We moved into our new house in January.  The house isn't completely finished but we are very much enjoying having our own space and being able to leave work and go home :)  I am sorry I haven't posted any pictures till now.  There was so much to be done and I never felt it was quite ready for pictures :)

Mom was here the last two weeks and helped me get the house from livable to pretty :)  So, without further ado, our new house...

 
This wall faces the the front door. The paintings are not evenly spaced because I tried to leave room for frames... hopefully it works!

That writing isn't actually on the wall yet but it is an idea of what I am planning to do after we paint.
Mom and I had so much fun picking out all that fabric and Mom made all the cushions.


This desk was my great-grandmother's!

Mom made the curtains too :)  She also found the dining room set at a used furniture store... YAY!

  Looking from the other side of the half wall.

Grandma and a friend of hers quilted the table runner for me.  I wish you could see in the picture how beautiful it is.  The little sign in the plant was part of a set that Ani got as a gift.  It says "Pray for Rain."  :)

Ani's book cabinet is in the hallway now.

The bathroom... obviously ;)

Shower and shelves

Eventually the sink will be here.

Our room.  
Aunt Phyllis has made cushions for the glider, they should get here on Monday.

Our bed and Ani's bed.

Ani's space

The closet for now.

 My prayer corner that Mom set up for me and more curtains that she made.


 
 Proverbs 31 that Grandma cross-stitched for me as a wedding gift.  

Well, that's the end of our virtual tour for today :)  Have a GREAT day!
