2 Years!

Today marks our 2nd anniversary of living in Australia.  What?? How did that happen? What a whirlwind this has been! In honor of our 2nd year, I think it’s time to finally post pictures of the place we have been calling home! 

The entrance to our house

The view down the drive to our gate to our back garden and our beautifully landscaped front garden to the left

Front garden-we have such lovely flowers blooming here all year long!

Our entrance and the hallway to the left leading to our living, dining and kitchen

To the right of the stairs is Alaina’s bedroom with ensuite

To the left of the stairs or 2 sets of doorways into our front room that we use as a playroom and office space

Opposite this, down the hallway is our half bath with storage area under the stairs.

Through the hallway, you enter into our dining and living room. We have been thoroughly enjoying our fireplace this winter!

From here, you enter the kitchen. This is by far my favorite room in the house.  I love the cupboard space, the rollout drawers and the extra storage space on the back wall!

The laundry room and half/pool bath (not pictured) complete the main level. This door leads to our back garden as well as the sliding doors in the kitchen and living room out to our back deck.

Heading upstairs we find the upstairs bath and other bedrooms.

Our master bedroom is toward the front of the house and has a nice balcony that overlooks the front garden.

Finally, Hallie’s bedroom.  These photos were taken awhile ago and she is now in her toddler bed.

Heading out to the backyard, we see our back gardens (more beautiful flowers), our carport (we have no grass, but this carport has been great for the kids riding bikes & scooters and having a shaded area to play), our pool and our back shed.

And that’s it!  Our home for the last 2 years.  It fits us well and it’s nice not having to worry about maintenance, but man would I love to paint!!
