Home at last...

This was the beautiful sight that said goodbye to me from my room in my old home in Victoria. I will truly miss this home. To see pictures of my old home look here.
So we have finally moved and I have unpacked most of our new home in the country. It is so perfect and peaceful that I feel like I am on vacation...
It is has been wonderful to have the Hub's home for two weeks to help me make it feel like a home and to set everything up.  We have been falling more and more in love with all the space we have the peace and quiet at night, all we hear is frog's and cricket's! And the star's, oh my are they bright out here...


This is our home, it is 4 bed/3 bath and over 2100sqft. It is an old heritage home, 1913 I think and has the original fir in it. I will let you have a peek, excuse some of the mess...


       The living room with nice french door that lead out to our deck.
   The dining room and open kitchen that I love.... Look at that big island?! i just love cooking with the wonderful gas stove, it's a Viking!
The kidlet's enjoying their nice big dining/harvest table that I bought at a antique shop in the town near my house!
Since my sister with her 3 children are moving into the other house on the property, we are going to have lot's of these adorable moment's of cousin fun! 4 cousin's in our claw foot tub! Cuteness...
The little ones, London and Bella, who are just 1 month apart are just adorable together.  Bella has been walking since 9 month's, London watching her, has now since started walking like crazy all over the house after Bella!
The beautiful zinc top hutch that I bought from the old owner of the home...Love....
My huge bedroom, with a great reading corner and warm gas fireplace, very cozy indeed.
I have been having fun painting a lot of furniture white around the house and then destressing it.
I have been also having so much fun antique hunting. There are some very good shop's around here. It is funny how my nice polished stuff look's very silly in my new country dig's, I am changing my look to some beautiful, well loved and beat up piece's.  It suit's this country home so perfectly.
I will take more pictures I promise, and I want to paint and rearrange the kids rooms upstairs. Lot's to do still and pictures to hangs, things to decorate.... It never ends...

But this place feel's good. It feel's like home.....
