THE MOVE & PICS OF NEW HOUSE

WELL.... ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I POSTED! SO MUCH NEWS! I MOVED TO PA FROM NY ON 12/20/08. BEEN REALLY TOUGH AS WE ARE ALL HOMESICK AND TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE PAINS OF ADJUSTING. MY HUSBAND IS STILL IN NY WORKING, THANKS TO THE ECONOMY :( SO THAT IS REALLY TOUGH ON ME TOO. I HAVE BEEN BUSY SETTING UP HOUSE AND TRAVELING TO NY AND HAVING MY KIDS FRIENDS COME TO PA... JUST TO KEEP IN CONTACT. LOTS OF HEALTH THINGS GOING ON, BUT DOCTORS HERE IN PA ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN NY, SO WE ARE GETTING ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS! THE AREA HERE IS SO GORGEOUS AND I AM CLOSE TO EVERY STORE AND FOOD PLACE IMAGINABLE! THE MALL IS 1.5 MILES AWAY AND MICHAELS IS .35 MILES AWAY! I HAVE A DENNY'S AND A DQ RIGHT DOWN THE STREET TOO!!! WOOOO HOOOOO! BUT THE BEST PART IS IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE I LIVE THAT CLOSE TO EVERYTHING. MY BACKYARD AND SIDE YARD IS A GOLF COURSE AND ACROSS THE STREET IS FARM AND MOUNTAINS! NO MATTER WHAT WINDOW YOU LOOK OUT OF, IT IS A VISION FROM HEAVEN! SO HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF THE HOUSE (FORGOT TO ADD PICS OF THE KIDS ROOMS... WILL DO THAT AS SOON AS I TAKE SOME) BUT READ THE POSTS BELOW AS I PUT PICS IN DIFFERENTS POSTS. THIS POST WILL HAVE PICS OF SOME OF THE VIEWS...

This is looking down left from my front door.... barns & houses.


This is looking out the sunroom window to the right... that is the 11th hole I think.



This is out straight back from my sunroom

More front views... mountains, farm, houses, barn.




Out the back the day we moved in... the shed is ours.. the house isnt... boy it snows a lot here in PA!!!

The golfcourse at sunset... isnt that gorgeous!

Out front the day we moved in.


The master bedroom & craftroom.

The craftroom... still a room in progress... but I have been working on it here and there~ You have seen my house in NY.... well, my craftroom there was a whole basement... and now I am trying to fit it all in one bedroom! Its taking awhile to fit & figure out! Plus, hubby wont let me keep my computer in my bedroom anymore, so now I had to fit that in my craftroom too!


This is the room before I got ahold of it!


And here it is after.................. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!






















The back of the closet door & behind the closet.


The inside of the closet door.


Part of the huge walk in closet before I got to it....

After I got to it!!!








More of the room! I really have gotten a lot done... you should of seen it when it was full of boxes! But now its just a matter of putting away and organizing the rest of it. I got a lot of the storage at auctions (they are so fun!! we didnt have auctions in NY!) as most of my storage items from my old craftroom are still in my NY house. So we got all new (old) stuff here.

















The Master Bedroom- Yes, I know... its Tarzan... but those of you who know me, know I love the jungle motif and my whole house in NY was safari.... so I am right at home in this room! Its not decorated like a master bedroom... but I love it that way!


My daughter the 16 yo photographer (lol) took this shot so you could see all the mural and out into the hallway. The closet is also here on the left. This shot was taken the day we moved in.


The closet. Which my daughter still cant believe I gave up the huge walk in closet in the craftroom for this one! But she doesnt realize that behind these walls is a huge room that has built in dressers and hanging racks! I am not stupid you know!


Awwww, the lion family at the foot of my unmade bed.... I never make my bed... I am just going to mess it up later anyways!














The kitchen, livingroom, diningroom.

The LR entertainment center.

The LR seating area.

The LR front door area.
