Oh What a Day!

This morning we met with Janet, our new landlord. Turns out that she is really lovely. Both Tim and I took an immediate liking to her. Always a good thing with a landlord, and hey, we have been around the block and know the whole landlord gig!

After signing the paperwork and handing over a bunch of money, we had a key! We went directly to the house...to take pictures and measure. Yes, I took the camera out of the car this time.

Let's see if I can walk you through. We are still going to paint, so it will look a bit different, but here is our canvas to work with...

Here is looking from the kitchen to the patio, backyard and to the shed


This is standing in the dining room looking into the living room...the front door is to the right of the double window, with the stairs going to the second floor across from that. Yes, the floor is a crazy teal. We are thinking of either having it sanded or painting it or just covering it with a rug...

Here are the builtins on the other side of the room for the tv and books and such

After walking through the front door and the living room, you walk through the dining room to the kitchen. Here is the dining room

Yes, it looks very much like the living room...just wait till we have furniture, that is part II of this post. After the dining room is our HUGE kitchen. You can sort of see the doorway from the dining room photo, but here are two more of the kitchen
From the dining room into the kitchen

From the backdoor to the other side of the kitchen...our kitchen is big enough for two sides!!

Um, yeah...did you see that...a dishwasher, microwave and OH YEAH...a garbage disposal in the sink which you can't see in the photo.
Then we move to upstairs.

This is what will be the guest room. It may not look that exciting now, but once we paint and put some things in it...whatever, the closet in this room is larger than some of the rooms we had in Brooklyn! The carpet that you see here is throughout the upstairs, with the exception of the bathroom. It needs to be cleaned, but is in really good shape.

This is the middle bedroom, basically at the top of the stairs. As you can see, it was formely a kids room. We are going to leave the painting on the windows because it is so fun. BUT, we will get rid of the plaid paint and the text on the walls. This will become our office/computer room.


These next two are our bedroom. It is a really nice size with vaulted ceiling and fantastic closet. I don't know how to turn these photos, so, just tilt your head, you'll be fine.




So that is part I as dinner is now ready.
Part II shortly is where I tell you about how we have filled it already...
