Tour of My Home (Part 2 - The Pictures)

Posted in Daily Life

Here are the pictures of our house!

(Normally, I probably wouldn't give so much detail on the internet, but since we will not be here that much longer, well, here it is….)

This is the outside (which is pretty obvious). I wish I had a before and after picture. When we bought it, it had old faded, tan vinyl siding, the cedar shake roof was falling apart and it had an old cyclone fence around it with no landscaping and a dead apple tree in the front. Not a pretty sight. Pretty much everything you see in the picture (except the sidewalk!) was replaced by us.

Looking at the house, to the left is our swing. I've always wanted a porch swing. This is the next best thing. I sit in it all the time!

Next to the swing is a fountain. It had accidentally got turned off, and within 5 minutes about 15 tiny birds came to drink and take a bird bath. I scared them away when I went to take the picture, so you can only see a couple here.

This is the view from the swing. Matthew did an awesome job on the landscaping!

This is the view of the living room as you walk in the front door. It's hard to see how big it is, but I wanted to get that vaulted ceiling in there. Our living room actually has a little bit of a cabin feel with the dark red paint and wood panelling (and woodstove).

This is another living room view, we keep the computer desk in the corner.

And last living room picture. This is the built in bookcase. It's the best picture that I have of the loft. You can see the stairs on the right side. The loft is on both sides of the stairs with a catwalk above the stairs connecting the two sides. (We were experimenting with colors on those drawers! Ah… being married to a painter!)

This is the only picture I took of our kitchen, and it's actually our dining room table! (Check back later tonight and I should have a real picture of the kitchen!)

Well, that's it for now!
