New house!

So we had the inspection for the new house this evening.  I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the house and yard.  We took the kids with us too, so they got their first look at their new home.  They all agreed it was a good house and couldn't wait to live there! 

So here's a bit more info about it...  4618 sq ft, Insulated concrete form (which means the walls are concrete), 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bath, 2.75 acres of which half is wooded, walk out basement, deck, sunroom, and huge kitchen with vaulted ceiling.    Now, the only thing that I'm not in love with is the colors in the house, which are very dark.  The kitchen has cherry cabinets (which are beautiful!) and all the trim in the house is cherry finish as well.  The owner is not a "white wall" person, so the walls are mostly browns and reds.  I like natural colors, but these are pretty dark for my taste even if they do give a warm homey feeling.  That being said, it's still a lovely home and I'm not going to rush in and paint every room.  (Besides, I also have no idea what colors would go with cherry finish!) 

So here's some pictures of the house, in no particular order....
