Disclaimer 1: This house is big and kinda complicated, I drew you very accurate map. *welcome*
Disclaimer 3: I took an embarrassing amount of photos so this will be broken up until more than one post. (See previous disclaimer).
Disclaimer 4: Remember how this house was a 2 bedroom? Well, the laundry/storage room behind the garage was gigantic so we were able to carve two more rooms out of it for the boys (answer to the WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT THE ROOMS THING). This added another 600 or so sq feet, amazingly. We now have a very tiny laundry space and no big storage room.
Disclaimer 5: Our house is still very just-moved-in-ish. The backyard is filled with interesting stuff like cinderblocks and ceramic plates and big plastic landscape buckets, pictures are mostly hung on nails that were left behind, and Santa's workshop/Amazon box land is currently in my closet. JUST FYI.
Disclaimer 6: So. Much. Joe.
So, just to get a picture of what was, the house was wall-to-wall carpet with linoleum in the kitchen when we bought it. We ripped out all out and did concrete floors throughout. They are perfect for the space and for having kids. Within a few weeks of moving here, Pete sprayed the inside of the house with a hose TWICE. Amen, concrete floors. I love how they cool down all the warm wood tones and I love how they accentuate the unity of the house, which is very open and fluid. We also never reinstalled baseboards. Heyo.
Ok! We start with the master bedroom and bath and a bit of the yard bc honestly how many pics can one person squish into a post? Forgive me if this drives you insane.
Start of tour >>>> this is the end of the hallway that leads to our room. I am standing in our bedroom doorway looking down the hallway (there is a mirror at the end, if you're brain is needing to make sense of this). This is the hallway that leads me from my den of tranquility into the land before time. To the right is a bathroom, to the left is a wall of closets (which I love and adore to the point of tears) and then the girl's bedroom, with the living room beyond. Go ahead and reference that map I drew you real quick. I'll wait.
*dat view*
*Baby Francis' residence can be seen at the bottom of the shot along with paint Pete chipped off of the wall.
Here you can view all the many holes I hammered into the wall trying to get the placement of that painting right.
(There is that doorway I was standing in)
Ok, an immediate 180* from the end of our bed is the closet zone and bathroom. Also, a view of my fave spot* in the whole the backyard.
*fave spot
*fave spot
Little dressing area sitch which I interpret as the place to pile all your clean laundry and the pants you don't want to wash or put away because you might wear them the next day...
The bathroom is off the closet area (this is probably obvious, right? I have no idea.)
And the OUTSIDE. How funny that this door has a peephole?
I loooooove that slat detail^^^^^
A straight shot through the slats is a cool little garden area with a few raised beds just brimming with dirt.
This is what you see standing just outside our bedroom looking out to the front. So ugly, barf.
And looking back towards our room. (Also, Joe. What is happening?)
If you were to stand in the same spot and look the opposite way towards the back, this is that. The grass wraps around from front to back without any fencing which is the best for laps as fun and laps as punishment for leaving your clothes and shoes and pajamas all over the hallway (true story).
We are up on a hill at the end of town so above what's planted is just nature n' stuff.
OK YOU'RE ALL DEAD. More another day!
Ai!!!!' Love it so much!!!!

ReplyDeleteHe's omnipresent
DeletePlease tell me that bathroom will stay pink forever!!! All the heart eyes!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite.
ReplyDelete1. WHAT a great view!!
ReplyDelete2. We ripped out our carpet and have concrete floors too!
I want to move in!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe can fit you guys!
DeleteWe have the same pink bathroom! But we have a pink tub and toilet to match the tile... My girls LOVE the pink toilet. haha I second everyone on that view... I'm trying to convince my better half that we need to move to CA for views and more sunshine.. because my Vitamin D level just rose looking at those pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh the sunshine feeds my soul!
DeleteD R E A M Y. Also that wall of closets is the best. I'd kiss it each time I walk by.
ReplyDeleteLOL I should take up that habit!!
DeletePlease tell the story of how you found/got this house. I am a huge fan of these MC</intentional design houses that I feel like they are rare, rare, rare, but maybe in CA they are more common?!!!!??! I feel like this is a place you could live in forever.
ReplyDeleteYes!! I think this find is VERY rare for our area. We live in a tiny agriculture town about 40 min outside of LA and I think it's purely a gift of God that we found this house. We had lived three blocks away for 7 years and never knew it even existed because it's so tucked away. I never want to leave it 😂❤️
DeleteYesss! Love those concrete floors! We've played with the idea, but we live in the CA up north, as in Canada, and would need some serious heating. What about falls.. are they slippery? And.. your furniture (bedroom dresser, in particular), are the craigslisted? Are you one of those uber lucky ones.. because that west elm couch a while back...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your miracle Doctor Osemu Okpamen
ReplyDeleteThis article is dedicated to the Doctor Osemu Okpamen. I have been married with my wife for 5 years and recently she broke up with me and it hurt me deeply when she told me to leave her alone and that she does not love me anymore when i was always faithful and honest to her. I tried all the ways to get her back buying her what she wants like i always did and she still left me heart broken and she even has a new boyfriend which destroyed me even more until a friend of mine from high school directed me to this genuine spell Doctor called Osemu Okpamen. This man changed my life completely. I followed everything he told me to do and my wife came back begging for me back. I was stunned everything happened exactly like he told me. I had faith in everything he told me and everything was true. Also he was there every moment until i got my happiness back and he also provides spells that cures impotence, bareness, diseases such as HIV/AID E.T.C You can contact him via email at { Doctorokpamenspelltemple@yahoo.com } or visit his website http://www.doctorokpamenspells.com. He will help you in anything you need and quick to answer once you contact him.
You can also call me for more info +1 (914)-517-3229.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI Read the article of a very great spell caster and it seems very helpful to me. I haven’t had the chance to have a proper relationship with my ex because we work together. This will be the final week or work and then I wont be around him constantly. Unfortunately, I broke one of the rules in the article and have been sleeping with him. Something I’m not proud of, especially since he has a girlfriend. Not to mention that she’s a girl he dated off and on for 3 years before he dated me.
When I asked him why he kept sleeping with me even though he was in a relationship, his response was because I wanted it, and he wants me to be happy. But obviously what would make me happy would be to have him all to myself. That was when i read about Dr alexzander on how he help people in saving their relationship and i was really desperate for his help. There were things in our relationship that were tough. We traveled for 4 months right in the beginning, and it was hard due to different expectations. When we returned our living situation was unstable which caused a lot of stress on my end. And when I ask why he didn’t give me a chance to make things better he said he gave me tons of chances. Oh, and he compared our relationship with his past. He says that things were great, and then they went bad really fast, and that why his back with is Ex. Because it at least took them years for things to get that bad. So i was very sad and disappointing and decided to contact this spell caster for help with tears running out of my eyes and Dr alexzander promised to make things right in my relationship and also assured me that my boyfriend is going to come back to me within 78hrs. At first i was shock and didn't believe him because i thought it was impossible to do. But i gave it a try and trusted him. Dr alexzander asked for my details and his, then guarantee me of his return. Truly my ex lover started calling me and also begging me to forgive him and that's his willing to give us a second chance, then promised me never to love any other woman apart from me. it all seem like a miracle to me till now. Dr alexzander. Words can't express how i feel right now. it been 2 month now since you caste that love spell for me and nothing have gone bad between us. his now caring more than ever and also the loving kind of Man i have ever wanted for myself in life. I thank you Dr alexzander for saving my relationship. Indeed you are the best. I want to use this media to share my testimony for the whole world to see and know that there is still hope in your broken relationship, No matter how bad it seems don't give up hope and also contact this man who saved my own. you can reach him through his website address http://alexzanderhightemple-com.webs.com or contact him direct with his email address alexzanderhightemple@gmail.com. I thank you Dr alexzander for helping me and i will always share my testimony in every social media or place i may go to.
