OUR HOUSE ON THE LAKE

Everyone from the mountains has been wanting to see our new home on the lake, so I stepped outside right at dusk tonight to snap a few shots.

This is our street, right beside our house. The lake is just beyond the garage with the wreath at the end of the street.

This is the street in the other direction. You will notice the basketball court and tennis court at the end. KT's dream-come-true!
And this is our house. We really like it. Like the house we rented before this one, it is much smaller than our mountain home, but we are really enjoying it.
On one side of us, we have really nice neighbors.
On the other side, we have 2-3 empty wooded lots.

This would be our living room/foyer/dining room/school room.

You will notice the lavender walls.

Our landlord left his surround sound set up for us to enjoy and if you look closely, you will see Benjamin lying in the floor enjoying Tom and Jerry in surround sound!

This is our yellow kitchen. It is my most favorite part of the house.

I love the color, the countertop, the appliances, and there is a screened-in porch out the door. The open door to the left of the kitchen is the door to my and Barry's bedroom/bathroom.

And here you will find our bedroom, complete with band-director's jacket on the bed post and lemon tree that we don't want frozen (not that it would down here!). The white door leads to our bathroom and you'll notice the wall color is dark gray.

Well, the wall color might be gray, but the ceiling color is purple.

Our bathroom is purple, too but has double sinks and a wonderful tub.

I would have posted pics of the kids rooms, but I was afraid to enter into either one of them for fear of getting my leg bitten off by whatever might be lying in the floor.

KT and Jackie's room is burgundy (which makes for a great Virginia Tech room) - much to Jackie's chagrin. Joe and Ben's room is blue. The laundry room is bright yellow and the kids' bathroom is dark blue.

If anyone had told me the colors of the house before I saw it, I probably wouldn't have even wanted to see it. But, the colors work for us.

Now, we are just waiting for a visit or two from some very missed family members and friends. HINT, HINT!
