Home Is Where The Heart Is. (Home Tour)
Hello from the land of corn .. Iowa!
I've been here in my family's new home for about a week now and must admit that it's not as bad as I expected! As always, it's been wonderful spending time with my family but it has also been great exploring their new home.
It has been so nice being out in the peace and quite of the country and take some time away from the city. We have 5 acres up here or pure wooded beauty. Everyday we see little deers, beavers and my mom's favorite bats. Ick.
Weirdly enough one of my favorite things about being home is "our" cat. We are watching my cousins cat while they find a new home for him due to not being able to have him in their rental home. The thing is, I hate cats, always have. There has only been one cat that I have adored in my life and that was my ex-boyfriends cat Lily. (R.I.P Lily). But there is something about this grumpy, stuck up, psychotic cat named Corner that I cant get over. I follow it around the house just trying to pet him. I am turning into an old cat lady. Don't be surprised if there are random pictures of the cat throughout this post.
Anyways, I wanted to share photos of our new house! Keep in mind they just moved in three weeks ago so we are missing some furniture and appliances and have some putting together to do as well. I must say the house is absolutely gorgeous and I'm totally in love!
We live on some land, like I said, and it is mostly wooded area that is unfortunately covered in poison oak and ivy. We have to wear boots and long sleeves and pants when trekking through to prevent any reactions to the oak/ivy. My family plans to clear most of it out eventually.
Back down the hall is the dream kitchen!

Here's a half picture of the outside:)
Entry way:)
From the entry way there is a spiral staircase down into our unfinished basement. I was SOOO excited to have a spiral staircase; I've always wanted one!
The front living room is going to be shabby-chic and mostly just a sitting room. We have just some makeshift furniture in there now, but I know its going to be adorable when its done!
It has a perfect view.
Jack and Chloe's rooms are just down the hall.
Their cute Paris bathroom:)
Just across the hall is my parents room and bathroom.

| This bathtub is heavenly. It has jetttttssss. |

| (Still waiting on chairs!) |
 |
| (and a fridge!) |
Our main living room is connected right to the kitchen and its still in the process of being decorated:)
Right off the living room is my parents office which has a loft (a.k.a. the cats room) right above it! So cool!
The laundry room is even pretty..
And lastly, my favorite spot, the back patio.

I dont know about you guys, but I'm in love. Im so happy that my family has such a beautiful home to live in and I cant wait to be back and visit.
Until Next Time,
Jasmine
