Pic 6:  Living Room (Gilbert LOVES that golden glass hanging lamp- help!)
This room will have our couch and piano.  There is a fire place all the way to the left in the picture.


Here is our new dining set.  We are VERY excited.  We haven't ever had a "proper table and chairs" however, we will have to alter things a bit.  We will probably have to get some more leaves or get a bigger table top and put benches on the sides. The doorway to the right is open to the kitchen area.  Also, we are going to have to lay some lanoleum flooring in this room, I can't imagine feeding 7 children over carpet, yikes!

View from eat in kitchen area into den, which will be the study.  There is a fire place on the right side of the room (it is a big open one in a wall that separates the living room and den.  We are finally excited to get our school stuff out of the living room again!  Has anyone ever painted wood paneling?  eek!  This eat in kitchen area is sort of an extension of the stove island.  It comes out from under it and goes out and probably seats 4.    Also, that is a sofa sleeper, who is coming over first? LOL

Here is a picture of the fireplace in the den.  The entry way is to the right, and the living room is on the other side of the fireplace. 


Here is standing in the dining room looking into the kitchen.  There is sort of a half area here with a little shelf and cupboards on the other side.  We think we will probably put a second fridge here.  Also, in this pic you see the stove hood coming out of the ceiling, it is to the right of that where the eat in kitchen area is.


Here is another pic of the same area facing the other way towards the living room, with yours truly.



Here is the furniture in the girls room.  Obviously, it will not all fit when we get in here!


The other view of the girls room:



Here is standing in the hall looking into the boys room.  Hall bath to the left. Den to the right.  Funky mirror to Goodwill.  ;)


Here is the hall bathroom.  Another place we HAVE to put lanoleum down before letting 7 children use it!

And this room will be the boys room:


Now, onto the master bedroom.  Bedspread and curtains has to go.  Love the old dressers and night stand!


Another view of my new dressers!  We will be moving furniture around a bit!



You may see an older house with old granny furniture from the 60's-80's.  We see this as a blessing the Lord is giving us so that we may continue on the path he has shown for us.  It would be our dream to eventually move this house in a couple years onto some property thus continuing the vision he has given our family.  This blessing is just another step in that journey!  Praise the Lord!
