Update Monday: The New Place

Ok! I am finally at a point where I can share photos of the new place. All the furniture is in.. unless we add another bookshelf or something later. So, for the most part everything is settled. Yeh!

We have exactly one picture on the wall so don't judge. The walls are currently a reflection of the people who live here- pale, pasty, and lacking in coloration. As we gain on that, hopefully they will too.

View from the front door. And, no, we don't have a tv. Netflix and Hulu are our friends.

Looking straight back from the front door. Sadie's bed and blanket. I'm thinking I might should get something a little less... conspicuous. What do you think?

I love the kitchen! It's so big! And NEW! And BIG! 

Another view. I made the curtain. It was a small victory for my craftiness.

Our pantry. The kitchen didn't have one, and we didn't want to take up cabinet space for food- so Criagslist came through! Antique chifferobe converted!

Inside. And, I promise we feed the dog.. She is just a bottomless pit.

Itty bitty bathroom. Barely big enough for one, much less the 3 that crowd in here on Saturday and Sunday. But, the shower is LOVELY!

Headboard, chest, and nightstand were all found on craigslist. Woot. And, the headboard will be painted once it is over 55 for more than a day. Maybe by July? 

No bedskirt.. yet. 

Waterfall design...very common ... but we love it. 

This thing is the longest story of any piece of furniture we own.
Short version: It did have doors. John tried really hard to fix them. It didn't work. I made a curtain. Tada!

Table and chairs! That I love! And can fit 4 people! I haven't had one of these in over 2 years!! 
It's the small things in life... 

And, the only peice of furniture that we spent any real money on-
Zoe. The sofa. She is so lovely. and soft. And I feel like a little kid when I sit on her because my feet don't touch. John is in love. It's a couch that fits him.


That's it for now! I'll take more pictures as more is finished! We still need some rugs, and a lot of framing...
