pix finally

Here are some pix of the house - now that the guys are all "done" it seems harder to get things in shape than I expected! The porch is great and while the lawn is a disaster, not much to do on the actual porch. I love it.

The "library" was Js old office and he hates having to walk 12 steps to his new area, I really like how this space is kind of restful and welcoming. You may not be able to tell that from a photo, but if you ever saw Js old office, restful and welcoming it was not. (sorry hon, just the way it is) His new space looks great.

The "pink room" is no longer pink. It is so hard to capture the space with my little camera, but this room looks great. I'd like to stay here! So get ready to come see us.

finally

Ok, I am so tired! I thought once the carpet was in the house would be "done" but apparently this is just the tip of the iceberg. Now we have to move all the stuff back! Way bigger chore than I anticipated. So - here are some shots with minimal furniture, but at least you get the idea!

This is the new dining room (old living room)


Jim's new office (possibly) - where the old dining room used to be off the kitchen - hoping his desk won't be as apparent here...


And the "library" Jim's old office - imagine more bookcases along the wall, but at least you can see the colors.

house update

Well, in the wreck of clutter that is our home right now (yes, I know it's hard to tell from the usual state of things!) I appear to have lost my camera. I'm sure it is somewhere not too far off, but no pics today.

Things are really starting to wrap up - we have all new carpet (complete with annoying seam, don't get me started on that), gutters, sealer on all the wood outside, and as a bonus K is putting in our swamp cooler that has been languishing on the back porch for two years. Yay! And except for the disappointment with the carpet people and the lack of resolution there, everything looks really good (just imagine there is a pic here). Hopefully I'll find the camera soon and you will all be amazed!
