the house

So here is the long post. Here are a bunch of pics of the house. I'll try to explain some. We moved in August 1st. It took a couple of weeks to get unpacked and everything hung up on the wall. Madison was set to start daycare on the 18th and I was going to start doing some contract work for 360 that same day. The friday before the monday I was supposed to start, 360 called and said that they didn't need me anymore. So I've been trying to get a job ever since. I have 2 offers, and I'm excited about one. Hopefully it will be a great place. They don't want me to start for a couple of weeks though, so I might be doing a lot of painting! Madison seems to be doing well in the new daycare. She comes home talking and talking. And she tells me she has had fun every day when I pick her up. The park is right down the street and Madison knows it. So she loves to point at the front door and cry if we don't take her right away. She would swing all day if we let her.
Anyway, here are the pics. We have a lot of painting to do, including the paneling and kitchen cabinets. Oh and if I haven't told you, almost everyone down here has an alley. So the garage is at the back of the house, attached. Someday it will be done...
entry. I'm standing in living room and master is off to the right.

Living room. entry is off to the right. back of couch faces the dining room and I'm almost standing in the kitchen. straight ahead in the picture you can see the hallway to the family room and back bedrooms. you can all see the doors to the wet bar to the left of the fireplace. don't be to jealous.

dining room. between kitchen and hallway to master bedroom

kitchen. garage is off the back of the house and you enter through the kitchen.


we call this the courtyard. its has house on 3 sides (kitchen, dining and master bedroom)


hallway off the entry to the master bedroom. the front door is on the left, you can see the small 1/2 bath just down the hall. and the dining room is on the right.

our closet opposite the vanity. compared to our tiny PV closets, this is huge! Almost too much space. Thank goodness since we don't have a basement.

Master bath. I just painted this room Wednesday and it looks a ton better. I'll put new pics up soon.

Looks like a great place and it's nice that the kitchen and bathrooms are up to date—I'm sure that will save a few headaches. And I'm jealous of the courtyard.
