Moved In: Second Floor

Here are photos of the second floor of the house, starting with the kitchen. I really love the dark cabinets, especially since our neighbor installed stainless steel pulls and handles on the cabinets and drawers.




This is the pantry and the ladder-shelving I bought to match the cabinets. I got the idea from the beautiful shelving in the model home.

Eventually I'll replace the red barstools with dark mission-style stools, but they look ok for now.

No photo journal of my home would be complete without a shot of my PEZ collection.

This is the dining room. I have a different lighting fixture to install over the table, but my friend who is installing it is just looking for a convenient time to do it.

This is the living room. I have plans to get a nice huge television and a new L-shaped sofa, but...that's what tax refunds are for.

This is the window-seat area, which I really like a lot.

Aunt Linda and Uncle Dave gave me beautiful teak furniture for the porch. Soon there will be big hanging plants out here, and someday a big stainless steel grill.

That's all for tonight! Stay tuned!

Moved In: The Third Floor

I apologize for taking so long to post photos of the house since we moved in! We actually had everything set up within a week of closing, but I got busy with projects at school and didn't take time to do this until today. Here are some photos of the third floor rooms, excluding Zach's bedroom and bathroom.

My office came out better than I expected. It needs to double as a guest room and I was worried it would be too cluttered and cave-like. I think it will be okay though:

This is the staircase leading down to the second floor. It was hard to get a good angle to show that it is hung with all my favorite records, but anyway, that's what's going on with all those frames on the wall. If my sister sees this---sorry, yes, that's your Beach Boys record. I guess I'm not giving it back!

This is my bedroom closet....

And one wall of my bedroom with a view into the bathroom. I got the TV armoire off of Craislist, one of my best buys this summer.

This is my bed, which I really love---I need a bigger piece of artwork behind it eventually.

This is the bathtub in the master bathroom.

And another angle on the master bathroom....

More photos coming soon :)
