Sarah's Home - The Main Floor

Sarah and Todd have a lovely home in Denver.

It's deceptive, space-wise. For example, it looks like a two garage home, but there is actually a third bay inside.

Here's a tour of the main floor.

 The entry hall.

The home has a wonderful open floor plan that adds to the spacious feeling.

 Looking from the kitchen into the dining and living rooms.

 The kitchen has a bump out window (like our home) and an island. The countertops are granite.

 The living room and dining room with the kitchen in the back and the entry way on the right.

 Craig enjoys the love seat in the living room.

 There's a gas fireplace and a TV nook, both with cutout alcoves above them.

I love the staircase. There are three bedrooms upstairs, a bathroom, and a large family room. The master bedroom with a spa bathroom and another half bath are on the main floor. The closed door on the right is the door to the master suite.

 The laundry nook is off the hallway that leads out to the garage.

The back yard is smaller than the one they had in Iowa. Still, it's pretty and peaceful with room for Bailey to safely be outside in nice weather.

There's a large covered porch where the grill and outdoor patio furniture is.

Hopefully I'll get some pictures of the upstairs and basement before we go home.

Let's Clean House!!!

Recently, my kids were posting on Facebook about a shared family memory - that of cleaning our house, something they did every Saturday.

What caused all this laughter? Sarah was having JC and Trinity clean during spring break, and they are reminiscing about this document:

Craig drew it up YEARS ago, and every Saturday morning, the children would sign up for two hard jobs and two easy jobs. Having them clean was a TREMENDOUS help to me, and they all got to be quite expert at cleaning. (In fact, more than one of our kids has shared with me that college roommates did not know how to clean their apartments, and that they were grateful they did.)

Here's to you, kids! Thanks for all the help you were all those years ago!
