Despite what else has been going on
and on a more positive note, we do have a couple relatives who don't use the internet and wanted some pics of our new place. No pics of the second bedroom yet. I have not got it as set up as I'd like and we still need to get a sofa bed for it as it will be sort of our gym/office/guest bedroom. No pics of the entry even though it looks nice, just way too awkward/narrow to get a pic of. I planned to send these ones off today anyways. Thought I'd share here too since everyone is like an extended family
Really love the open-loft as our room. Not close to as big as the second bedroom, but I guess I don't really see a point not having our room up here since it fits all our stuff. Plus, we like the skylights and being able to look over the edge.
Love being able to look over and see downstairs! Will probably be great too once we have kids to be able to keep an eye on them.
I've never had a double vanity bathroom before, but it is the weirdest layout ever. This was the second nastiest room in the place, but thorough scrubbing and it looks pretty good!
Nice big living room. Yay! Not sure we'll ever use it as we have the little electric "wood stove" thing, but it has a real (and extremely large) fireplace.
One of the first things to be replaced here is carpet in the dining area. The mind boggles at who would ever thing this was a good idea Otherwise, happy to have a "coffee bar" and FINALLY got to do a open pots and pans rack (which I have wanted forever). I wish that stupid out of place half-moon thing wasn't there, but it would leave a bunch of screw holes in the cabinet if I were to take it down.
Kitchen required excessive scrubbing, but totally came out great. Tad cluttered, but it is pretty small. Oh, and the light fixture- that thing used to be behind Kiwi for a long time and I never knew what it was for. It apparently is a cover for a fluorescent light fixture and makes it look like a skylight when the light is on. Kinda cool!
I like the patio. It's pretty 'secluded' (can't see any neighbors on the sides) and just a nice place to hang out! That wood plank looking thing below the screen pulls up and becomes an outdoor "bar". It needs to be reinforced according to the home inspector, so we have yet to use it as we have yet to repair it!
