It’s been almost a month now since we signed on our house and started moving in. We are by no means DONE, but things are coming along quite nicely. Here’s a little pictoral update on our new home, thus far.
First, a few days after signing….
And now, almost complete!
As you can see, we are still needing artwork, but we are reluctant to put any holes in the wall unless we are absolutely certain that’s what we want. The “Home Sweet Home” sign over the couch is hanging on a nail left by the former owner. She didn’t leave too many nails. In fact, she didn’t leave much of anything! The house was pretty much spotless when we moved in. Tonight for the first time we opened the cabinet over the refrigerator. I was hoping for riches, fine china, or at the very least a forgotten bottle of booze. But alas…it was empty. Sigh…
And here is the shelf unit in the kitchen “nook.”
It’s proving to be quite functional, as you can tell. The actual kitchen is not small, but neither is it enormous, so this extra space really comes in handy, and we also like the way it looks.
Here’s the library….
Which is actually the dining room. And you must excuse all the boxes! That’s the “not quite done” part I was talking about, tho every day it gets better and better.
The dining room will be doing double-duty as both dining room and library, since we have so many freaking books! Once we get a little more settled, a big purchase will be a dining room table and chairs. But we’re nowhere near ready for that yet.
Our house has three bedrooms. One is being used as an “office” which is primarily going to belong to Russ…
And the other will be our “guest room” which will also serve somewhat as my office (though to tell the truth, I’m sure I’ll spend most of my time hanging out with Russ in his office.) But here is my desk, if I need it….
And here are the cats lounging on the daybed. What bums!
Okay, you know you couldn’t go too long without getting a few pics of the cats. Squee is enjoying all the space in his new house….
And Boogins is enjoying the sink in the guest bathroom.
Well, that’s all for now. I’ve got to find the manual for the refrigerator, since there is a light on that says we need a new filter. For what? The icemaker? It’s all new to me, I’ve never owned an icemaker before. Lots and lots to learn about homeownership, isn’t there?
