New place!

So we're officially moved in..hosting book club at the new place was great motivation to get things in order! All but 4 things are hung on the walls (three frames and one shelf, which I couldn't hang because I have an issue with hanging things that require more than one nail. I can't ever seem to get them straight! So I leave that to my "technician/engineer" Tito.) :)

How about a tour??



Come on in...take off your jacket...and shoes! We're a "shoe free" house now officially, so all shoes end up here.



Hallway as you enter leading to the bedrooms, closet and guest bath



Hallway to the kitchen, dining room and living room. Our laundry area is now in a closet to the right (we do miss our huge laundry room from the other place!)



Kitchen to your right...even though it's still a galley kitchen I love how much larger it seems. I think it's having the sink on a corner. And we have more counter space which is awesome.



Looking into the kitchen from the breakfast bar area



Living room area



Living room with the fireplace (we're not in love with the mirror above the fireplace so I tried to minimize it's garishness by adding the wreath..at least it's distracting!)



Living room looking into the dining area



Dining room



Walking back through the hall brings you to the study. This will also be our guest room when in- laws come to visit.



Looking around the study...the desk and one bookshelf



Last view of the study (not shown is the huge closet that stores my crafts, some Christmas decorations, some extra "storage items", and extra coats.)



Guest bathroom...the cat box has to go in here since we lost our laundry room, but it's ok.



Down at the end of the hall is the master bedroom (we lost just a little space in this room compared to our last place, but that was ok.) Also lost one closet so we now share but I've made it all fit.



Master bath. We are so happy to have a tub in both bathrooms! The cats like it too as they always like to wait for us in the bathroom while we shower, but now they actually get up on the sides of the tub and "peer" in (a little freaky but funny too...I'm waiting for the day one of them falls in!)



Back off of the living room is the porch with storage. Epi loves being out here. When we open the door, she comes running! We like that we're on the 2nd floor now so we can safely let them out there and don't have to worry about them jumping. Also, they can see out and everything so they love that. They'll peer their heads through the slats and look around..



Monet out on the porch. We think we're either going to hang the bikes or get a storage shed on the property for them...especially in the summer when we'll be out there TONS more.

The place overlooks a grassy area with a playground and picnic tables. I think we'll definitely be using that this summer as well!

Thanks for stopping in...didn't show the nursery as it's an empty room with two big boxes in it right now. Will be working over the next couple of months on that!
