No need to daydream...

So it's been a long time now and I've started remodeling my gorgeous house.

We bought a house in the quiet development of Independence at Mather. Very close to where the old military base was. It's a 1200+ home development that was built between 2000 and 2002. The house we purchased was built in 2002.

It's a functional 2222 square feet home with two floors. The first floor has an open room layout, which encompasses an entryway, diningroom, livingroom, craftroom and kitchen. Between the garage and the kitchen there is also an enclosed laundry room and pantry. Under the stairs there is a large closet. There are windows just about everywhere, it's such an incredibly lit house!

The kitchen is a large room surrounded by storage cabinets, a gas stove (oh I love to cook with gas!), a microwave above the stove, a dishwasher and a nice refrigerator.

The second floor has 3 standard size bedrooms (a guest room/exercise room, a craft room and a library den), a master bedroom with a bath and walk-in closet, a large (20x20) rec room which the girls converted into their huge bedroom :) and a bathroom. There is also a hall surrounding the staircase and a linen closet.

The backyard is amazing, there is a large concrete pad, perfect for bicycles, tricycles, running and playing. There is a functional spa immediately to the right when coming through the sliding glass doors. The backyard has a mature apricot tree, two orange trees, numerous cedar trees in the back, a pine, and two nondescript large trees. There are bushes all around, lining a large grass area. Amongst the bushes there are 4 delicious large rose bushes, a mature grapevine, two large mums and other decorative hedges.

The back patio also has an amazing amount of vegetable beds, some raised some not. There is a plastic shed that fits all our gardening supplies beautifully.
