wet.bar.

The new house has an awesome feature. The rec room (in the basement) has a wet bar area. The current owners didn't take advantage of it. They just installed a counter and a sink, no cabinets above or below. Eventually I would like to make this a nice swanky area for the adults. The other half would like a big tv and a beer fridge...we'll see about the beer fridge.

I found a few pictures online of what I'd like to do with the small space. I'd like to do either a light colored slab granite top or tile granite top paired with dark wood cabinets. A mini fridge or wine fridge would be a nice touch as well. 

The color of the cabinets are right on as is the layout. 
I adore the glass tile back splash on this one.

family.room.

One day while waiting for some showings to be complete we ran to our local furniture store. I always wanted a sectional but our current room was too small to accommodate one. We decided upon leather because well that's what we have now and it works wonderfully with a toddler and pets. To give the other half a better idea of what I wanted to do with our new family room I created a little mood board. I'd like to have an accent wall in a either a blue or gray color and then tan for the rest of the walls.

the.new.house.

It's a funny story about how we found the new house. I adore cyber house hunting and stumbled across this gem a few months before we became serious about moving. The home was perfect: 4 bedroom plus a bonus room, 2 car garage, 2 living spaces, a rec room, and most importantly backing to open space. Early on we decided that having a private back yard was the most important aspect in a new home. After this requirement we knew we needed 4 bedrooms (or 3 and an office space), a 2 car garage at least, and a basement.  We toured approximately 8 homes (only 4 with our realtor) before we knew we needed to put in an offer or we'd lose the home I so desperately wanted.  So far things are good. I haven't started counting all my chickens just yet, there could still be some hiccups along the way. Here's a sneak peak. It's a huge reason we bought the house.

The Christmas Experience

The big holiday is over and done. Does anyone else feel the tiniest bit depressed when it's all over? I don't know about you, but for me, the anticipation coming up to the big day is what I revel in the most. Sure, the presents are way up there for the kids, but mine equally anticipate the activities we get up to prior to the big day. Our little list of activities (dare I say traditions) help make the season that much more special.  In no particular order: ✔1. Christmas Gardens Lights-our botanical garden have a gorgeous display 2. The Nutcracker play ✔3. Gingerbread houses ✔ 4. Baking cookies 5. Mulled wine (just the husband and I of course) 6.  Watching Christmas movies:: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ✔ Love Actually ✔ The Holiday ✔ Elf The Polar Express ✔ Last Christmas (new addition for me this year) ✔ 8. Visiting w/ Santa (with kids) ✔ 9 . Advent calendars ✔ 10. Ebelskivers ✔ 11. Christmas Eve Boxes       We managed to almost complete the lis...
