House Tour




I thought I would share some pictures of our house since most of you haven't seen it. It's really just of the kitchen and entryway with a lot of Christmas decoration pics thrown in. It's a teaser. Now you'll have to check back often because you'll never know when I might upload a picture of the livingroom or, even better, a bathroom. Contain your ooo's and aaawww's.
Obviously we needed to rake. I decided to hold out until maintenance came to do it for us. Especially since we have no grass at all to uncover.


They came today and now we have a nice dirt yard. Well, mud now that's it's been raining for a solid three hours.





Here's the kitchen.
Best part is that we have a dishwasher. And it's name isn't Rachael or sometimes Rick.


The laundry room is past that open doorway with a huge closet that holds the dog kennel.





Our dining area with our new dining table. My sister and I set the table for no reason when she came to visit. It looked pretty though.










Our entry way. It's a good shot of the 1950/60s wood inlay floors. Which would be awesome except they've never been stripped. Ever and have 200 coats of varnish on them.
Still better than carpet.

Kitchen is too the left. Living room straight ahead and bedrooms to the right.

I found these red curtains for something like $4 awhile ago and thought they'd be great for Christmas. Then I put them up and was a little overwhelmed by the red. It's a lot, a lot of red. We'll leave them for now and see how it goes.
We went to a Christmas tree farm to cut our tree but it was pretty ghetto. They were selling cedar bushes as Christmas trees. Wierd. I'd never heard of that before. So we had to do the awkward "We don't like your trees" thing and leave. We went to Kroger and bought this fir tree for $30. Way less than what they were selling the cedar bushes and much more Christmas-y. I also used up our exta ornaments with this little tree like decoration.

Alright, that's all I can handle. I'm not going to lie; it may be awhile before more pics. They take a long time to upload and then organize. Unless Rick knows how to do it some easier way. Cross your fingers. You just may get to see the bathroom afterall.
