Old habits never die!

After 4 years without a home the Roberts clan have somewhere to call home!  The house is great and Paul is working very hard doing all the little things that make a house a home!  He spent his first evening in San Jose cleaning out the drains in both the laundry area and the kitchen!  This week we worked on finishing the painting and getting the sprinklers working in the front yard so that we can have a green lawn!

Our beautiful front yard!

The girls did all the painting and moving of heavy furniture before we arrived.  My job was kitchen appliances!  The over the stove microwave didn’t work, nor did the dishwasher and they took the stove so all new appliance were needed!  Actually that sounded like a great plan to me, no cooking!  I was vetoed and we got appliances delivered and Paul got them installed.

Very shiny!

Both girls have their own space and are decorating to their tastes.

We have pictures on the walls and fancy custom pillows on the couch!
Amy’s family room

Lots of light, an amazing view of the back yard, very comfortable furniture.
Stephanie’s family room!

The house had a lot of neglect before we moved in but it is looking so cute and comfortable.  We have had a couple of family meals around the kitchen table, a few friends have stopped by to congratulate us and Paul has turned the garage into his mancave already!  Our next big project is going to be a small addition to the front of the house to give Amy a master bedroom and then we will work on a kitchen area for Stephanie.  Very exciting stuff!

The back of the house!

My next project!  A huge backyard and I get to landscape it!  What to do?  Anyone want to help?
