Guest Bedroom




This is the guest room that is in the basement and also the treadmill room. We don't have pictures on the wall yet but hopefully soon.

Our Bedroom




Just to clarify - our bedroom is purple but it is a much deeper purple than in the picture.

We love the double sinks. We may have been married for almost 19 years but we still don't like to share the bathroom sink.

Kitchen



This was the one area of the house that we were concerned would be too small for all of us to be in at once. We have been pleasantly surprised and we are all cooking dinner in this kitchen. At the end of the kitchen/hallway area there is a closet, pantry, half bath, door for the bonus room and door to the garage.

Living Room





We love this room - especially the fireplace. We are looking forward to sitting in here during the cold Iowa winters.

Dining Room


Larry picked out the color for the dining room all by himself. I was impressed.

Stairway


As you walk in the front door this is the stairway to the girls room. Gabi's room is on the left and Emily's room is on the right. Their bathroom is in the middle. Notice I didn't post a picture of their bathroom. Their is good reason for that. They may be wonderful, intelligent children but their bathroom quickly reminds us they are teenagers.

The door to the right on the main floor is our bedroom. If you go to the left as you enter the front door it is the living room, then dining room and the kitchen. The basement door is across from our bedroom.

Gabi's Bedroom





Gabi wanted a pink bedroom with her love of swimming to show through. Her room was blue in the beginning and she liked that color since it would go well with swimming but really wanted hot pink. We kept one of the alcoves blue and painted the rest hot pink. We hung all of her swimming ribbons on the wall and she still has room for more. Yes, that is a real lane line that you see in the picture. We ordered replacement pieces for lane lines and strung them together to make her very own lane line.
