We are back from a fantastic weekend in Buena Vista, Colorado! The weather was perfect, the leaves were colorful and The Elk was A M A Z I N G ! ! The "grand opening" of the new and improved Elk was a huge success...we had such a great time! Dad and Corinne did a wonderful job on the addition and remodel of the house. Dad wanted to keep the big reveal a secret until we saw it in person, so I've been dying to see the house for about a month now. I must say it far exceeded all of my expectations! Here are a few pics of our new digs in BV, CO....Enjoy!
The front...
The back...
The incredible view of Mt. Princeton from the back porch...I never get tired of looking at this!
The entry way...this is probably the biggest change...the old entry way was super tiny. This new space is where the an old bedroom use to be. Now the bedroom is through the door on the left.
The front door and otherside of the entry....the door to the left of the front door is a bathroom.
The new downstairs bedroom...first bedroom on the left when you walk through the front door. This room is technically MY (well, and Josh's) room....thanks Dad! :)
My bathroom...
View from the bathroom...
The new (and much larger) living area...this is a HUGE change too!
This living area is brand new...the old living room use to be where the seating area is behind the leather couch...
A view of the new living room from the old living room/new seating area....the door to the left of the new living area leads up to the new upstairs...or the "grand kids room" as dad calls it...
The dinning room...the kitchen is to the right of the table, but I just realized that I didn't get any shots of the kitchen. It was completely remodeled last year....and looks great!
The staircase leading up to the grand kids room...the new upstairs is completely separate from the rest of the house, so the grand kids can go up there and "knock themselves out" (without bothering the adults)!
Grand kids room...excuse the mess....
This room has a great view...
Bunkbeds...
Dad and Corinne's room....this room is downstairs by the kitchen....my dad added this room on about 7 years ago, but they did a few updates to it to make it more functional...
The other side of the room...
The existing staircase leading up to the original upstairs. The upstairs stayed the same for the most part...new carpet and door frames/doors were put in.
The big room upstairs...again, excuse the mess....
A view of the bathroom area leading out of the big room...
Bedroom #2 upstairs...
And last but not least, the smallest bedroom in the house, which we call "Cole's Room"...it's about the size of a walk in closest, but Cole loves it!
The Elk has come along way since we bought it 15 years ago! We can't wait to go back after Christmas! More pictures to come from our weekend in Colorado this week. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
GO COWBOYS!!! Is the new stadium amazing or what?!!

Wow, it looks so different! LOVE IT! Hope you had a blast!
Ok, and I would like to respond to your comment. The only reason you think you were cooler than Karen and I was because you were in fact living in BV! It was a little tougher to be cool at TCA! You would have been our friend!
Mindy! I miss you! BV looked gorgeous and I am so jealous! I would love to come visit the famous Elk :) You and Josh are beautiful by the way..so cute! Love ALLLLLL the pictures! I have been so busy and have been missing Book Club..the night always falls on a night I am obligated somewhere else for internship. It is pretty much consuming me! We will have to have some girl time, soon! Shopping? Lunch? Have a great week!
