I put this on here just to make you LAUGH. If this doesn't crack you up, you have issues! My brother, Danson, got stung in the lip by a bee. Thank goodness it didn't get him in the throat...he may have suffocated.

This is our house from the outside.


Sike. This is Elvis's house. LOL. I love Elvis.

This is the outside view. We will eventually paint the shutters white. The outside (the front in particular) makes the house look small but you can come inside for a nice surprise! Actually, when you drive up, you can't see the front. It looks over the ridge! In front of the house there is a road that leads to our other property, where we may eventually build. We can ride the 4-wheeler to there from our house to camp and play, watch deer, relax by the creek, etc. We have trully been blessed and are so thankful for all we have!

Here we are, one small happy family!

I forgot to post this one! I think I need to go get in there. C-Ya!

We could fit our old trailer just in the storage area. If you saw our last pad, it goes without saying how thankful we are to have all this place to organize our junk!

The top two pictures are the basement, the bottom two are the garage. We have elected not to post pics of the basement now. No need to advertise Dan's toys (or our super duper video surveillance system you nasty criminals!)

All we have changed so far is the faucet and fixtures. However, we have big plans for this room. We want to put the same black/white checkerboard floor in here and do something funky and fun. We aren't exactly sure what that is yet....but I'm sure I'll get an idea soon enough.

This is the half bath in the bar before any changes.

We LOVE this room. It's so much fun. I can karaoke and Dan can play darts. Or, we can have a family game night, which I am hoping to have soon! Most everything in this room was given to us or picked up at yard sales. I think it has turned out so fine! Did you check out the floor behind the bar? Dan did that! He is so handy! Thank God for a handy husband!!! (I'm sure my dad is pretty glad too! Less maintenance calls!)

I got the barstools from Target and they along with my payphone and candy machine are my favorite parts of this totally fun room!

"Bonus Room" before.

Upstairs full bath. We haven't tackled this one yet. It has wallpaper from floor to ceiling and it has no primer under it. It will probably be re-wallpapered. But this go round I will paint underneath so the next change will be easier. We have purchased chrome fixtures for this room. I just need to get done with school before I tackle it, to make sure I have ample time and patience to do my best.

Finished upstairs bedrooms. We haven't changed the green one yet because one day it will be a nursery. We see no sense in painting twice. We pretty much just changed the wall colors and lights. We also changed the door knobs and hinges in EVERY room.

Old Upstairs bedrooms.

This is the bathroom now. Believe it or not, we got everything in this room from yard sales except the big Marilyn Monroe picture. This includes the sink, the faucet (the set for $20!), the towel bar, toilet paper holder, and molding type shelf and Marilyn Monroe tin that you can't see, and even the soap dish. I love yard sales!!! They are SO FUN!
