Tour Time!

Happy December!  As previously promised, I finally am getting around to posting some pictures from our newly acquired home.  We still have a considerable amount of painting (and have waited for most decorations until that point happens), and so most of the rooms aren't finished, but this will give you an idea of our happy little home at present.  Would you like to join me for a tour?



So the first picture you saw was the front of the house, followed by views of our street.  Aside from the occasional party next door, dogs next to us and across the street, and police-helicopters overhead every so often, it is pretty quiet.  It's amazing that we're so closed to the city, but distanced enough that we forget how close we actually are.


When you walk in the front door, we have a living room area that is home to our books and music, as well as a coat closet (not shown).  To the left is the master bedroom...


And then the guest bedroom...


And on the opposite side of the hall is a bathroom still in need of one more coat of paint and different tile (at some point before we die).


At the opposite end of the hall is another living room area that opens up into the kitchen, but we are still waiting on our couch to arrive.  Outside the doors pictured is the backyard, which I'll get to in a few minutes.



Of the many many many many things I love about this house, the kitchen has got to be one of my favorite parts.  Not shown is the laundry "room" (just a big closet) on the opposite side of the kitchen.



Between the entrance and kitchen is the dining room, also still in need of another coat of paint.  Now let's head downstairs to my husband's favorite part of the house...




The basement is in an L shape.  Part of it we plan to section off to an additional bedroom at some point in the future, but for now it's our music studio/office area.



The doors lead into the utility work room:


The other door you may have seen leads to a bathroom which we painted in "Billiard Green."  I'd say it's true to its name, eh?:


And finally, our backyard has a lovely garden, shed, patio, and some beautiful trees which I adore.  We're so blessed.


So now that you've seen it, it's time to hop in the car and come visit.  The structure itself has no value unless people are in it-- consider yourself invited.  :-)
