House Tour!

I finally feel settled enough to open up the house and take you on a little tour. Still a number of things we’d like to do, but if I wait until it’s perfect, I’ll never get this done! So here we go, starting with the view from the entryway:

Living Room:

A close up of Hudson. You’re welcome.

Other half of the living room:

And a close up of my little snowy village on top of the piano:

Dining Room:

Christmas Mittens on the Stairs:

This corner cabinet used to be white. How boring. I painted it “Summer Marigold” because I couldn’t think of a good reason not to!

The kitchen! Please notice Lydia’s new telescope. She got if for Christmas from my dad last weekend. To say she is thrilled is an understatement. She wanted to know if she could point it at the neighbor’s house. Um, no, dear. So we moved it to the kitchen for a clear look at the sky!

And a closeup of my new favorite household item. Isn’t she beautiful?

And here is my favorite room. This little nook has become my favorite spot to work on my computer, drink my coffee, play scrabble, have conversations. I just love it. I feel like I have a coffee shop right in my house!

And just in case you think my house is perfect, let me leave you with a reality check:

That’s right. We’ve still got some work to do. Now that Conrad is on Christmas break, we have plenty of projects to tackle, and this room (the study/storage/closet/catch-all) is at the top of the list.

I don’t plan to do a tour of the other half of the house, including all the bedrooms and bathrooms. . .something about that creeps me out a little. We are enjoying our new space and it feels good to be settled in. Now I’m off to enjoy a little quiet time with my book!
