We're almost ready to move in!


Well, as promised here are some pics I took quickly of our new house. A few touch ups and we're ready to move in. We got the occupancy permit at the end of last week - Yippie!
This 12 foot high sky is in our living room (not the best picture) and was painted by both Al and me. It's a real miracle because neither one of us could have done it on our own. Soli Deo gloria.


Taken from the living room. Al looks dwarfed by the eight foot doors which lead into the guest bedroom & bath. The entryway is on the left.
I praise God for my husband and the amazing job he's done. What hard work and perseverance! In my eyes he's a giant.



Entryway or foyer.



Looking into the living room from the foyer. The breakfast nook is in the far right. The kitchen is behind the right wall.




The dining room, right of the foyer.


Laundry room.
Stairs leading to the bonus room.





Our walk-in shower.




Soaking bath, with toilet a separate room on the left

I love the light fixture. It looks like droplets of water.




Master bath with shower entry at end.



From the Master bedroom looking toward the bath. His & her closets on the right and left of hallway.



The bed and nightstands will go against this wall inside the niche.






(The turquoise ladder is part of the decor for contrast :)



Almost everything has a story of God's amazing provision.

This mosaic was mounted on a display board so we paid very little for it. Al was able to soak it & carefully remove and mount it behind our stove. He also made a plaster chimney above it all the way to the ceiling, which is the focal point of the kitchen.

God provided inexpensive good quality tiles for the backsplash to match so well. It's hard to tell they were not the same tiles. What a faithful God He is in every way! This has been an awesome journey!




Looking into the laundry room and back door leading into the garage. The French doors on the right lead into the dining room.


The French doors on the left of the fireplace lead to the library. The fireplace is two-sided or see-through and can be viewed from both rooms. The same carpet is in both rooms also. There is plastic on it until we move in. The few pieces of furniture are the new pieces we've purchased as we have not moved anything in as yet, but should be soon. I'm not sure how, but God will provide.


Library ceiling. We'll be putting stained wood crown moulding when we do the built-in book shelves at a later date.



The guest bathroom. This wall over the tub has a plant shelf on top. I stamped the design in metallic gold onto the painted walls. We've since installed curtains as well.







Arched niche with bookshelves and a writing surface in the guest bedroom.


Guest bedroom - not huge, but we have loads of space in the bonus room for wall to wall sleepovers for grandchildren :)


This is the living room and library carpet up close. It's quite subtle.





Taken at night, hence the strange lighting.




Laundry room sink. Washer & dryer etc. are on the opposite wall.



This granite is God's artwork - amazing!








Sorry this took me so long. I hope the next time I post we'll be moved in.
We praise God for the great things He has done, and especially for bringing the right people to help at the right time!
