Home is where the AF sends us: Come on in!


Welcome to our home!
Please ignore the slightly funky, built in the 80's features.  Some days I hate them and some days they are fun and quirky.  I should do a complete post on them. :)


With our 80's disclaimer out of the way....this is the view when you walk in the front door.
Coat closet on the left, office doors on the right, sky light up above, and funky tile down below. 
Needs some better wall hangings, but luckily we don't hang out in the hallway.

Straight ahead is the living area.
Ooo eerie floating specs.  Dust or ghost-ies? I'm going with dust...

Our living room is pretty spacious.  Fits our furniture and we spend a lot of time in here.
The door goes to the backyard, and you can see the dining room a bit.
The passthrough window goes into the kitchen.  Handy when we eat dinner in the living room and I can just set my glass or plate on the ledge, walk around and pick it up if my hands are full.



View from the other side.  You can see the office doors in the hallway.
I love our family tree wall hanging we got for our wedding!  They are all separate pieces though, so Cody did not love hanging it!  We still need to fill it with pictures, but it's coming along!
I have no clue where to put our Christmas tree.  I may have to move Cody's chair...

Cody's mom got us our huge clock to go over the mantle.  I'm so glad she suggested this idea and found the perfect clock!  I wasn't sure what to do with the space and this works perfectly.
Now about the mantle.  I'm not sure what to do with it.  For now there is a framed picture of Cody proposing, a candle, willow tree figure, (the cross has since been moved) , coasters, and some flowers.
The flowers are actually from my wedding bouquet.  The florist added some silk hydrangeas to supplement the supply that came in wilted.  You couldn't tell, and one of my bridesmaids didn't realize her bouquet was half fake/half real until halfway through pictures I believe. 
Anywho, some days I like the mantle decor, others I don't.  Suggestions?
