tour.

Our house is a work in progress. I've actually thought about posting pictures for some time now, but I've hesitated because it's not finished.

Well, frankly, I'm not sure when it will be "finished."
After all, one's decor is something that is always growing and evolving, right?
So, without further ado... Welcome to our home.

{our house from the street}

Our front door is down the steps and to the left.

I was so lucky to find such a beautiful Christmas wreath in Antofagasta.

{living room}
We are waiting on our TV stand to be delivered this week. Keep your fingers crossed!

99% of what you see was purchased in Antofagasta. We shipped only the essentials {toys & bedding} and some small pictures {large ones were not allowed} to help it feel like home.

{kitchen}
In general, kitchens here are small... a departure from my spacious kitchen back in Katy.

{Wesley's room}
All of the bedroom closets have built-in shelves and drawers so the only thing in the kids rooms are their beds... kinda boring.

{Carly's room}
This room makes me so sad. Without Carly's bed, bookcase, chest of drawers, little princess chair, and Pottery Barn Butterfly Mobile, her room seems bare. Any ideas?

In case you're wondering about all the phones, there is an explanation.
The phone mounted on the wall is the intercom and buzzer to allow people inside the gate.
Then, we have one phone for Antofagasta and one for Houston.

This is my laundry room!
It's probably the only place where I feel like I'm living in another country. Since it only rains once every seven years or so, the laundry is outside.
Dryers are new to Antofagasta {2 years}. I'd say the majority of people here still line dry their clothes.

Thanks for taking the tour. Now all we need is real visitors!
