La Masion Masterson

We found a house! Its actually the first house we looked at which is very rare.  I met a guy yesterday that has looked at 40 houses and is still looking.  We looked at a few others besides this one but nothing compared to this actual house and location.  We are about 15 minutes from the base, walking distance of a lake and hospital and about 1 km from downtown Soignies, Belgium.  Oh and an incredible yard for Duke! We move on Tuesday.  Goodbye American hotel with all the amenities we want, hello empty house.  We will be renting the bare minimum furniture for a few weeks until our stuff arrives mid September. The house has plenty of space and is in good condition for houses here.  Unfortunately, we can't paint the walls which I was bummed about.  But all the windows need curtains so those will be my first projects.  If only I could sew.  I am going to try to use this DIY tutorial of no-sew curtains and see how it goes. And since we sold our kitchen table and living room tables we will begin looking for these pretty quick.  There are tons of flea markets, thrift shops and markets around here....I can't wait to go to them! And if all else fails, there is always Ikea. Decoration thoughts and ideas are welcome!

House from the street, love the brick, beautiful yard and the shutters that actually work

back yard for duke.  our neighbor directly behind us has chickens and ducks

living room, doors open to back yard- favorite part of the house

huge master bedroom, there are two more bedrooms that look similar to this

kitchen, appliance will be added when we move in

pink bathroom- least favorite part of the house but trying to come to  terms with it 

Not sure the actual purpose of this room but it will be our closet
