House Tour

So, I've heard from several sources that pictures of the house are wanted.  We are still in the process of unpacking/organizing/arranging, so the house is not that pretty.  That's why I've waited.  But, since so many want to see it, here it is.  Please excuse the mess.

Let's start downstairs when you come in the front door and work our way counter-clockwise.

This is what you see when you come in.  To the right is the living room, straight behind the stairs is the kitchen door, to the left the hallway leading to the back family room.  You can see the big chandelier in the 'dining area'.  We have no idea what we're going to do with this area.  To the right of the dining area is the sliding door leading to the outside dining area.

Here's a picture from the hallway to the living room.  Right now it's 2 couches and 2 lamps.  We've bought a TV to add to the wall.  Notice the striped carpet.  We had to move the tiles around to put the least offensive on the outside.  We priced new tiles and it would cost close to $500.  Not worth it.  Instead, we have a new rug covering most of it.

This is the kitchen.  The door is behind the fridge.  It's really nice, except for the useless wine rack that takes up precious real estate!  It's got a gas stove and double ovens and a terrarium window behind the sink.  The fridge is a side by side, but it's the biggest one I've ever seen!  As you can see, we eat off the kitchen.

Past the kitchen is the family room.  We have no real furniture for this room yet except for a TV stand.  We're hoping to get a sofa bed for guests' children.  To the right is the door leading out to the other side of the yard.  This room is becoming the playroom.

So this is the hallway leading back to the living room from the family room.  The piano was left here by the owners.  At first we thought we wanted to keep it, but it's out of tune and taking up space.  We're hoping to give it back to them.

Behind the wall with the black piano is the guest room.  It's pretty small, just big enough for the queen bed.  The closet also houses my craft stuff.

Next to the guest room is the guest bath.  The guest room has its own door into the bath.

Next to that is the laundry room.  It's pretty nice.  There are cabinets above the washer and dryer as well as a rod to hang clothes.  On the other side of the room are more cabinets and a sink.  This room leads out to the garage.

Finally, under the stairs is the coat closet and extra storage.  There's quite a bit of room, so we're using it for food storage.
