The New House!

Here's the new house.
Still a work in progress at this point.

Enclosed porch!

About 50% of the homes here have three season porches. And we are one of the lucky 50%.

Ours is currently being used as the 'baby product overflow', but very soon that will change.
I'm hoping to find a cute table and chairs to put out so we can get bundled up and watch the snow!!

Livingroom from the front door.

Those of you who spent any time at our old house in Portland will find this wall color familiar.
The house is North facing, so we thought we may need some warm paint to brighten the space.
Our ever faithful muted yellow did the trick.
And it made it feel more like home!

Now to figure out how to hang pictures and art on lath & plaster.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Livingroom and spare room downstairs, or at least the door to the spare room.
This house has a ton of windows which is really nice.
Libby loves to sit and watch all the cats in the neighborhood, and thanks to the lady directly across the street who feeds said cats, she's got a lot of watching to keep her busy!

Staircase and diningroom from the livingroom.
The old woodwork in this home is beautiful. Some of it has seen better days, but not too shabby for a rental.

This is the office off the dinigroom.
This room also leads to the nursery. See next post!



Kitchen!

This room is probably the biggest change for us. We had a pretty big kitchen in the old Portland house, so finding space for everything we accumulated over the years has been a task. You learn to be creative with storage and just make it work. (Hehehehe)
We now get to use a gas stove again. YAY!
Sure makes for awesome pies come the holidays :)

Another kitchen shot.

And oddly enough the only bath that is directly off the kitchen. So weird.
The bathroom is pretty small. No need for pictures.

Laundry/Mudroom.

This is a treat. We've never had a competely separate space for laundry. One more thing to add to the 'Must Have' list for our forever home.

Storm door!

Considering the possibility of tornadoes in the area we have a basement. And a storm door/basement access from outside.
Had to add this cause it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Love it!
