New house maybe...

Last Friday (1/18/13) we went to look at houses. It was our first outing with our realtor and we fell in love with a house. At first we planned on seeing some others before making a  decision but the longer we sat and thought about it and the more we talked about it we wanted that house. We could not get it out of our heads. It was like the haunting images of all our dreams rolled into one gorgeous old home.

When you enter the house and walk into the living room it smells crisp and clean with the faint perfume of wood. The sun bounces off the wood lighting up the house like a stained glass window. The living room is large but welcoming. It has hard wood floors and two built in cabinets. The window facing out to the street has a window seat that looks out on the deck.

The kitchen is perfectly sized with more than enough cupboards and counters. The kitchen also has the old tin ceilings. Off the kitchen is a beautiful little morning room that also has the tin ceilings. It has a corner cabinet and windows the look out onto the fenced in back yard. The dining room is big enough to host a thanksgiving dinner in with room to spare.

The upper level is preceded by a grand staircase. Upon reaching the top of the stairs you will find a hall space complete with a linen cabinet. The two smaller rooms are not so small and have the same hardwood floors you find in the living room. Their spacious closets could easily hold a child's clothing and toys. One of the smaller rooms also has it's own deck.

Small Bedroom Closet

The master is something out of a fairytale. It is complete with a dressing room and full length mirrors for closet doors. It could easily hold a large bed while leaving room for a sitting area. It has large windows that keep it well lit. The carpet is soft and new.

The upper floor bath is average sized but pretty. It has great counter space. The mirror is well lit and can hold plenty of health and beauty products.

Praying like crazy!

Proverbs 24:3-4

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 

1 Thessalonians 5:17   

 Pray without ceasing.

Joshua 24:15
 
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
