The super duper new house picture overload post

I took pictures of the new house while we were there on Friday to meet with the builder about the third floor.

But let's back this post up a bit. Jon and I both telecommute for work full-time. Right now we have a three bedroom plus bonus house. I work in our bonus room, which also has a treadmill, train table, and play kitchen. Jon works in our guest room, which also has a bed. We've needed more space for awhile, and it became even more apparent when we had many house guests in the spring.

We looked at houses for one day before we found Our House. Welcome! And yes, we will be getting outside furniture for front stoop sitting! I have no idea why the maple tree has turned colors when it's still 95 here.




The house is filled with details we love. I love all the earth tones on the outside and within. It also gets tons of natural light, a must-have for me.




The first floor starts with the dining room. We are having this repainted a neutral color before we move in so that we don't need to purchase new artwork and table linens.




Going past the dining room, the hallway opens up into the great room.




While the kitchen is galley-style, the open floor plan should help traffic flow quite a bit.




All of these pictures are taken while standing the eat-in kitchen, you can see the light in the top of this picture. The french doors lead to the screened-in porch and the door to the left leads to the mud room and half bath.




Oh the mud room. I've already shown you the built-in cabinets, here is the rest of it. I have dreamed of a mud room since the boys could walk!




Now let's walk up to the second floor! There is paper on the stairs as they are doing construction on the third floor.




There is no easy way to say this without making it clear this house is BIG. The second floor is four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a bonus room and a laundry room. The master bathroom is going to be our oasis where NO CHILDREN will be allowed. The walk-in closet wraps all the way behind the shower, with two doors to get in and out of there.




Did I say NO CHILDREN in my bathroom? OASIS.




Nate and Alex will be in separate bedrooms when we move, however those bedrooms are connected with a jack and jill bathroom. This is the larger of the bedrooms and you can see how the back of our house overlooks the neighborhood playground and pool. We are fencing the yard in but will have a gate to the back for easy access.




The second floor bonus is large as it is over the two car garage. This will be the playroom/my office/my studio. The windows face west-southwest so lots of natural light all day.




For a better sense of depth, I stood in the bathroom connected to the bonus. Behind me in this picture is the bonus.




And the third floor. It was unfinished walk-up attic space but we are having them finish it off before we move in. On the third floor will be another bedroom, another bathroom (aka guest suite) and another bonus room. AND still unfinished storage space.




One thing we absolutely love about our current house is that we are walking distance to our pool. With the new house, we will be EVEN CLOSER to this neighborhood pool:




As things get crazy over the next few weeks, I will probably refer to these pictures to remind me why we are going through all of this! We hope you will be planning to visit us soon. Casa Case will be open for reservations starting in November!
