House Tour

Back when I showed you a tutorial of how to easily create privacy in a window while still allowing in light, I promised you a tour of my sister's new house. Well, here you go! She bought a house in a new development from a couple who had lived there for about five years, but barely used the house. In fact, you can see from the photos (all taken with the previous owners' things) that several of the rooms were staged.

This is the exterior, with a nice, big two car garage.


I didn't get a shot of the formal living room, but that's the first room you see when you walk into the house. The bay window on the right is where the living room is. You then walk up about four steps onto the main level of the house which has the dining room...


Kitchen...



Family room...

And through the French doors on the left, is the office.


There's also a powder room on that level which I didn't take a picture of. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom, linen closet, laundry room and a master suite, which includes a sitting room and huge bathroom.

Sitting room, adjacent to the master bedroom...


As you can see, the house has good bones but my sister and her family definitely have their work cut out for them to make it their own. They are working on finishing the basement now to include a playroom, guest room and bathroom, plus lots of storage. You can be sure I'll be sharing with you all the little updates along the way!

  2. Thanks for giving us a tour in your sister’s home! I wish they already worked things out, and that they finally made this house their own. I think this is something that they shouldn’t let slip from their grasp. And I think it will be great to have dinner together with everyone on their new home afterwards!
