Travis House Tour!

It might have taken me a year and half to get this posted but I'm finally going to take you on a tour of our house here at Travis! Yesterday was cleaning day so I thought it would be the perfect time to snap some pics. Because we move so often, a lot of friends and family don't get a chance to ever visit our house so hopefully this will help give everyone a good visual :)

Welcome to 401 Cannon Drive on Travis AFB!


When you walk in the front door and look right, this is what you see...


Our main living area is just one GIANT room, which makes it very hard to photograph... Here's my attempt to show what it looks like...


Remember the map that I made Jake for his birthday? Here's where it is in our house, although I still haven't got around to hanging it...


Moving on to the kitchen... My favorite part is all the counter space!


Now back to the dining area to take a closer look...


Okay, let's head down the hallway! But first here's a photo collage I made to try and fill up our super huge wall...


Walking down the hallway, you get a glimpse of Jake's office and the photos of all the planes he has flown hanging on the wall. In an effort to not make our entire house about planes and military, Jake has been given the hallway and the office :)


The end of the hall opens up to the bathroom, guestroom, office, and master (going clockwise).


Here's the guest bathroom... The one-story houses on base are made to be handicapped accessible so this guest bathroom is extremely spacious...


Next door is the guestroom... This room has the BEST natural light and the best views from the window. And isn't this wood bedroom set just absolutely beautiful? Jake's dad made it all by hand!


Next door to the guestroom is Jake's office... This room is currently a "work in progress" (Hopefully to be finished in the next month). We have plans to add a futon, rug, and of course hang everything up on the walls. It's coming along though!


The last room in the house is the master bedroom and in case you can't tell from the photos below, it is MASSIVE. When we moved in I had no idea what to do with this space and why anyone would make a room this large. It would've made so much more sense to split it into 2 normal sized rooms!

We bought a new bedroom set last Christmas with a king-size bed (Woo hoo!) and several other large pieces of furniture and the room still looks pretty empty when you walk through it. My favorite part of this room is the bedding - Thank you Crate & Barrel holiday clearance :)


Someone needs to tell our dogs that this is not their bed... Oh but aren't they just so cute?!


One other room to show you, which is an awesome bonus space in this house, is the laundry room that sits right off the kitchen leading to the garage. I love the big counter space for folding laundry and for hiding things that I don't want cluttering up the rest of the house, haha.


Moving on to the backyard... It's kind of small and boxy but it's just perfect for us and the dogs right now. We love sitting out on the patio grilling!


So there you have it! What do you think?? It's fun to look back and compare the houses we've lived in (Remember this house tour from Mississippi?) and a year or two from now when we've moved on to whatever the Air Force has in store for us next I know I will be so happy I took the time to make this little tour of our Travis house :)
