We are going to start the tour outside, it's a big full yard with lots to do and see. Far off pictures of the whole home and yard:


In a little closer to see the details and separate activities:
A front porch sitting area


 The pool, with seating and small fountain.


A small, tucked away, covered seating space to look over the open space in the backyard. Situated on the side of the entrance to the home.


 The open space in the yard, for water balloon fights, snow ball fights, or just playing tag!


 The play zone of the yard, all the playground equipment and toddler pool


 Onto the back porch of the home, a bbq space with lots of seating and a bright cheerful summer feel.


 On the walkway toward the other side of the yard sits a flower arranging bench


 Stairs to the garden portion of the backyard, less play, more business and beauty


Small sitting garden, for gathering thoughts or just relaxing in the scents and flowers.


 The outdoor garden, with a variety of plants, and a scarecrow


 That's all for checking out the detail! Here's a few overheads




Now lets move inside! We'll start at the front porch and move into the 'foyer' or small entry way and the living room space.


 Looking back at the front door


 Viewing from the door, through the home - living room space


 Small, half bathroom off of the living room


 Just on the other side of a half wall - to give some separation - is a sitting room, comfortable and welcoming, built to theme for a winter lover to cozy up next to a fire


 A child's space for creativity, entry to the study, and inside the study room


Open dining space with small bar, and kitchen area with entry to a sunroom


 The kitchen space


 Entry to the sunroom/indoor garden and inside the well lit room


Seating to relax and keep an eye on the beloved plants



 That concludes the downstairs tour, here's an overhead to help get the layout



 A look up the stairway, headed to the second floor, and the second story landing room which has been made into a bright, fun, family room where games are played


Onto the bedrooms, we'll look at the Master suite first. This room is clean and quiet, to help aid in relaxing and sleeping properly. Less clutter in the bedroom makes for a better night's sleep. This room has a full bathroom attached, for ease of getting ready in the morning. The master room also has a space for a little toddler to stay close to mom and dad until he's old enough for his own room.


 The toddler space


Attached master bathroom with toddler potty for those early mornings


Now we'll take a look at the teen room, built for the lover of sun and a steadfast summer, a bright and cheerful theme


A childs room, designed for a lover of winter, and chilly snuggle nights in a perpetual snow


 Each of the rooms toured above are connected by a bathroom, Jack and Jill style


That's it for the second floor, here's the overhead


Thanks for touring my new family home! I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to comment or critique. I appreciate your visits and follows. My Gallery ID is FidgetyAtom! Did you find the mousetraps? There are two hidden in the build, as usual!

 **Stay warm friends**
