Some pictures of the new home

Today I am sharing some pictures that I took of our new home that we will be moving into the first weekend of October.  All of these pictures show the current homeowners items.  Here is some of the kitchen.  The only pantry is the cabinets by the double oven.  Boy am I going to miss my walk in pantry.  We are going to change out the back splash for smaller tile.  I am not a big fan of large tile for the back splash.  I am also going to be revamping the island.  I am thinking about adding bead board, corbels and painting the whole island white with a brown glaze.




Next is the bar in the basement.  This is another area I would like to revamp. I think that it could use upper cabinets or at least some shelves.  I will probably paint these cabinets and make it more rustic looking.

I am also thinking about redoing the tile around the fireplace in the basement and adding a mantel.


Another fireplace I want to revamp is the one in the family room by the kitchen.  I don't know why it is so high off the floor.  My thoughts are to add wood moldings around it and maybe extending the wood above the mantel also.


That's it for now.  I am really getting excited about doing some projects but not too excited about all the packing and unpacking.

We just had our inspection done on our home and now we need to get by the appraisal.  Once that is done I can start packing items.

  1. Looks like a beautiful house! You will have fun making the changes that change it into YOUR home. Hope all goes well with the final stages of your house selling/buying.

    1. Thank you Lori! I am looking forward to moving if you can believe that. I know that it will be upon me before I know it.

  2. Hi Jody, With the summer having been so crammed with travel, visitors and sewing I've somehow missed you were moving. Then I read Colorado-so have you been here all along(I thought you were in the south) or are you just moving here? Where abouts will you be? I'm in northern Co. near Fort Collins. We only moved here 7 yrs ago from Ca. and I love it!
    Your new home is beautiful and your land is great too.
    Happy Labor Day.

    1. Thank you Noreen. I currently live in Littleton and will be moving about 10 minutes away so it will be a easy move. I lived in Oklahoma for 22 years but I am not from there. I know Oklahoma is not the Deep South but is still considered a southern state. I have always loved southern decorating and try to incorporate in my home. Maybe some day I will get to move further south.

  3. I lost track of you. Congratulations on finding your new home. This looks like a fantastic home. Love that china hutch built in- I've never seen that done before. Best wishes for a smooth move!

    1. Thank you Liz. We are moving this Saturday. I wish that I could say I was ready but I still have lots of packing to do. If would be easier if I didn't have to work this week.

  4. Oh my gosh, this is an absolutely gorgeous home. I am so jealous, these pictures pretty much sum up my dream home. I guess I will have to light a fire under the hubby to get us a home that resembles this one. Great pictures and I am so happy for you. God Bless!

  5. Your new home looks lovely and it's really exciting planning all the updates. I'm with you on the walk-in pantry, I don't think I could manage without mine. Good luck with the move, packing up isn't much fun but it will be worth it. Look forward to seeing some of the changes in the future!
