More pictures

More pictures of our home mainly outside per your request. If you want more let me know. The weather has been beautiful lately and very clear skies! Gorgeous!!!!
Inside tree house
The tree house might need a little painting
From the back yard looking up towards the home
The driveway is very long----a great place to store a lot of cars
3rd bedroom downstairs (my battery died right after taking this picture) The closet is HUGE and goes all the way under the stair case. Sometimes I am not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing.

Deck looking on the side yard (right by the tree house)



Backyard that is finished and we have at least 8 fruit trees that are on our property. Several apples, peach, and cherry.
Deck looking on the South side of property towards driveway. Below the deck is a lot of storage space and the door below the deck leads to the garage.
Our backyard goes to the neighbors deck. It actually is on our property line. We gave them permission to do that.


It can be a great place to store stuff---or NOT!

Where we let our dog run! The property goes all the way to the end of the fence below!
Better angle of the property below
Another angle of the property that we have never finished. It would have to be leveled many feet.
Our garage that is 24 feet deep and 27 feet wide. It is big enough to have three cars in it if you can get them in just right. Matt stores A LOT of stuff in here. He has put a black and white checkered floor on most of the cement and has license plates and car memorabilia all over.


Looking from the sidewalk on Turquoise in on our home.

Way too much stuff, but big enough to put way too much stuff
Matt's work bench area. The wood everything sits on is included with the home.

Pictures of our Home for a Friend to see (please ignore the rest of you)

Here are 50+ pictures of our home inside and out. I was going to send each picture to you through your email, but I realized that your can't see each picture bigger like you can on a blog. If you click on each picture it will become bigger to see more detail if that is something that you want. You also can copy and paste each picture too, of course. Please keep in mind I did take these pictures right after you requested so I didn't clean up or move anything around to make it look better, though I probably should have. It was just as it looked that afternoon----YIKES!!! I did leave out one of my children's bedrooms because it was just too messy. I know you have been in my home, but it has been a while, hopefully this will give you a better idea of some of the other rooms or of some of the changes we have done. Also, the pictures are in kind of weird order--sorry. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
View of home from corner inside lot of home


Lower Basketball court/lovely air condition unit
Our front yard is very shaded in the afternoon because of so many mature trees.
Barbecue Patio/Picnic area Coby put together with Matt.


Our Drive way looking from our front yard


We put on a trek deck! I love the view from our home!


Kitchen--we changed all of the light fixtures in our upstairs and we added an air condition in the kitchen as it can get hot while cooking dinner. It makes such a difference.
Fridge can stay with our home of course. Everything else is still white, but our fridge broke last spring so it is only a year old.

We put in a new banister/railing Winter of 09

All of our paint throughout our home is neutral except in our family room it is a dusty rose/taupe kind of color, our main bathroom is a light green and our downstairs bathroom is blue and in our living room we have one accent wall that is a light green.
Family room and picture below of it in different angles. I love this room and you can fit so many people in this room and in the other room too. We have had parties in our home where we have had an easy 45 to 50 people in the winter and it wasn't too crowded with all of the big rooms upstairs. So it is great for entertaining.


Office--it is messy, but gorgeous view from the window)
Front Door View into home
Formal Living room
Upstairs Hallway
We tiled the downstairs entry when you are coming into the home from the garage so the carpet wouldn't wear out and we love it!

Downstairs Family room/Exercise Room

Downstairs bathroom that is BIG! (There are two separate sinks on different sides of bathrooms. It has been great with teenagers!
another angle and where our washer and dryer can sit too if you don't want to put them upstairs
Other side of the bathroom
Very Messy Storage Room, but great shelves Matt has built for storage.
One of the 3 bedrooms downstairs.
One door leads to the storage room and the other door leads to the bathroom.
Another bedroom (we were in the middle of moving things around) Pardon the dust! (2nd one I have shown, but I am still missing one of the bedrooms).
