House of Hart

A view from the barn

Here is a view from the inside of the barn.  We still plan on putting up siding on the house, but it will have to wait until the electric gate is installed, and a few more payments on the old credit card.  It looks much nicer with all the plants, and they do a great job of hiding some of the pressed wood. 

Window Seat

How come it only rains when I have something to do.  It doesn't rain for 4 months and the weekend we move in, it rains.  It doesn't rain for another month and then the weekend we try to put in our cattle guard and electronic gate, it rains?  Go figure.  At least my curtains and new window seat cushion were delivered yesterday.  They are beautiful and really make the room.

The Bedroom

We had our first family party last night to celebrate my dad's birthday.  It was fun and everyone enjoyed seeing the house since we have moved in.  I couldn't resist buying a few new things for the bedroom before the party though.  My wonderful Dentist, Dental tech, and Hygienist gave me a housewarming gift and gift certificate which I used to buy the bedside lamps.  My talented best friend made the beautiful curtains that I could not have afforded had I bought them out of a magazine.  I also broke down and bought the chair in the corner even though I told my husband we had to save money now that we are in the house. 

 

Our big hallway

 

This is a picture standing in the living room looking down the hallway.  I am so glad we decided to make this hallway 8 ft. wide.  It really is an extention of the living room and when we decide on what to put along the left wall, it will tie the two spaces together nicely.  We are thinking of a long church pew style bench or a large buffet which will add more storage.  Whichever we run across first I'm sure.  As for now, a chair and a steamer trunk will do.

The Shower and Tub

 

Our bathroom is complete.  The vanity is in, and the tub/shower combo is beautiful.  The glass we had installed in place of a shower curtain is working great.  The shower head comes out of the ceiling instead of the wall so the spray goes down instead of backward.  This piece of glass is all that is needed to keep the water off the floor.  It feels very open and spacious.  The tub is big and roomy and is wonderful to soak in.  We moved in last Saturday but since my internet is still at the old house, I am a little slow in getting pictures posted.  More to come soon.
