Tutu's House

Since we've spent so much time at Tutus house this summer I thought it would be fun to give it it's own post and share some of the fun pictures.  They talk about selling it eventually so i wanted to make sure that we captured pictures of it since we love to visit them there. Sorry...this post will be picture heavy but really the house is so beautiful I don't think you will mind me sharing!

              The end results in the winter months.  Pebble Creek Ski Resort in the background.

Ricky and I had a special Valentine's picnic in 2009 in the loft of the house as it was still being built.

Front of house in the beautiful spring months. 

Back view with the main house on left and the guest house and workshop on right.  The driveway gravel was still being laid. 

My favorite picture.  This sort of captures the peace and calm that can be felt when looking through the windows at the beautiful panoramic view.  No matter if it's seeing snow covered mountains, the deer and the green grass on the rolling hills, it is quite an amazing view.  

          

The furniture was rearranged to baby proof things but I love the openness of this great front room. 

Entry way (front door) is off to the right and the kitchen and loft (grandchildren's playroom) upstairs above the kitchen.

Lincoln's favorite place in the house.  He dubbed it HIS playroom.

Master Bedroom.  I love the red walls!

Master bathroom.  I love the chandelier.  This picture doesn't do it justice.  Behind the person taking the picture is a huge walk in closet and around the corner is the other half of the master bath with a shower and a walk in closet equal to (or possibly larger than) the bedroom. This is my favorite part of the house. 

Papa Tutu put in a climbing wall on the backside of the workshop.  Lincoln mastered it pretty quickly with Tutu's help.

The construction of the house lasted a couple years because they can't work through winter. 

Ricky takes after his mom and has always been fascinated with home building.  He really enjoyed seeing the construction take place. Luckily we were living there for the later part of it so he was able to see how a lot of the house was constructed. 

The blue prints changed several times as they went a long but it was quite the undertaking.
