Our New House

This is the view of the front yard, garage, and house, with the willow rising up behind the house.

This is the front porch. Since I took this picture we have rearranged (and drastically weeded) the garden, uncovered the sidewalk, and removed that UGLY white latticework. It looks SO much better now!

This is the living room. The fireplace is painted with some sort of ugly gold metallic paint which we will be stripping and figuring out how to finish the fireplace properly so that it looks nice instead of being an ugly sparkly orangy-yellow.

This is the dining room, looking toward the living room. To the left of the dining room in this picture is the bedroom that is currently painted brown (the colour will be changing to a blue).

This is the kitchen, or, at the moment, what looks like Justin's work bench, lol... looking toward the back entry. To the right in this picture of the kitchen is the other bedroom.

This is the back entry, where the hot water heater, washer, and drier all go.

The VERY small bathroom. If you notice, on the left of the picture there's the little sink, and then the toilet is right there, and the tub is right next to it. There is hardly any space to move in there!

What we have deemed our bedroom, simply because we don't think our bed will fit in the other bedroom. This is the bedroom off the dining room.

View from the other end of the bedroom.

As you may be able to guess, this is the baby's room. It's a rather ugly colour of blue everywhere, including the ceiling! It's going to be changing to a very nice green colour instead.

View from the other end of the bedroom. Notice the ugly brown door....

A look at the back of the house. Somewhere in here I lost a picture of the willow from the ground... I'm not sure what happened to it!
A look at the garage. The shed is the building to the right of the stairs. The stairs lead to the "Frog" (Finished room over garage).

A somewhat areal view of the backyard.

This is where part of my vegetable garden is going to go... eventually.

This is the other part of my vegetable garden. The two pictures span the space between the garage, shed, fence, and frog deck, and make a pretty decently sized garden space, I think.

Deck and outside of the frog.

Looking into the frog.

Look at the entry to the frog from inside.

Here's a look at the "bedroom" part of the frog.

Look at the other end of the bedroom part of the frog.

The bathroom in the frog.

Toilet...

Shower... without a shower head. We're quite fascinated by how they managed to put this shower in, actually. Though we can't say much for the work they did, this one was quite creative!
