Our Sweden Home

The last box has been unpacked and most things are hung on the walls, still bits of things to do but overall we are settled in. 

Welcome to our home!

These two pictures show what you would see if you were parking the car or driving by. We don't have a garage :( but just a little gated area for our cars. When coming to the house you can either go to the front door by going to the right and around or to the back door by going to the left and around. Guests always come to the front but we always use the back because it is a bit closer to the car.

Here are the kids getting ready for a trip to IKEA. My new favorite store!

When you walk around to the front of the house this is what it looks like...

We have a big yard with an apple, pear and two cherry trees. We also have strawberries that grow....from the neighbors yard :) and our own black and red currants and raspberries too!

I would love to build a small little green house so I could grow tomatoes! YUM!

If you go to the back door it looks like this....

Then if you keep walking over the deck to the back of the house it looks like this...

Yes I know, I live in Paradise!

Here is Darby, Melynn and Jaxon off to go fishing (from the backdoor).

Unfortunately they did not catch any fish.

OK, so now let's venture inside. Starting from the front door this is what you would see when you first walk in. We currently have the boots under the stairs but I think we are going to move those to another area.

Melynn's room is immediately to the left and Jaxon's room is immediately to the right. I will let you guess who has what room.

Going down the hall a few steps you then have the den to the left and then a storage room to the right. (storage room not photographed)

Going down the hall a few more steps again you have the laundry room to the right....

which is also home to many coats and a closet for Jaxon and Melynn.

Across the hall from the laundry room is the girls bathroom. Big bathroom with a big sauna!

Now it is time to go upstairs which is like the main floor of the house.

This is what you see when you get to the top of the stairs...

This is where we spend most of our time. I am really enjoying this room.

But the best part of this room is the view. It is like a beautiful piece of artwork!

My other favorite room is the kitchen....

It is so cheerful!

The first room down the hall is the bathroom to the left.

Followed by Darby's room on the left

then, Ashtyn's room

We have an office...

and then last is our master bedroom.

I still need to do a couple of things in here but that will come eventually.
