Because it'll never be this clean again...

Our house was included in a neighborhood home tour this Wednesday, so I decided to document the cleanliness and orderliness that may never be seen again.  This is a shot of our laundry room that leads into the garage (the door on the right).  Check out my new washer and dryer combo!  Adam surprised me when it was delivered a week ago to our house!  It uses only 20% of the water that a regular washer uses!  I can stuff LOTS more in these things too.  Hooray for getting more laundry done at one time!
Another shot of the laundry room looking into the hallway that leads to the informal living area.
Here's the girls shared, Jack-and-Jill bathroom.

This is our upstairs master bathroom.  It's been so nice having our own sinks!
The windows over the tub overlook our backyard.
This is our master bedroom.  The sliding glass doors on the right overlook our backyard and lead out to a tiny deck that is only wide enough so that you can take one step out onto it.  We're planning to save up to expand it so that we can put a couple of chairs and maybe a cafe table out there.

This is the upstairs hall looking from Elizabeth's nursery down toward the door into Ava's bedroom.  Our master bedroom door is out of the picture to the left.
Here's Elizabeth's nursery.

Ava's bedroom is one of the two rooms we've had a chance to paint since we moved in.  The other room is the girls bathroom, which had ugly old wallpaper when we moved in.


This is a picture of the built-in hutch downstairs in the formal dining area.
This is the downstairs guest bathroom.  There's a shower out of the picture on the left.
This is our office.  Yes, it's this organized and clean all the time ;)
Another shot of the office where you can see our vision boards and the cool metal artwork my dad made, on the left.  It's a phoenix flying through a hoop.
Here's our backyard that Adam has been working really hard on.
Adam and Ava are peeking out of the gazebo that's covered in pretty English roses.
Adam knows how much I love snapdragons, so he planted a ton of them in different colors as a surprise.  Isn't he a sweetie?
Here are all of our roses.  They are just beautiful and smell wonderful right now!

Here's a view looking toward the house.
This is our informal living area with a built-in bar and wine fridge.
Another view of that room looking toward the wall of windows that look into the back yard.

This sits just behind that table in the informal dining area.  I painted the plates hanging on the wall after my girls stamped their hands on them with paint.

This is our entryway.

It was an honor to be asked to participate in the home tour, but I'm sure glad it's over...and I know the rest of my family is too!
