house photos...finally!

we're not done with the house yet. but here is a sneak peak at some of things we've done so far...

mark and i on the day of closing in august

when you enter the front porch, this is the view to your left without furniture

with furniture, and a lovely view of the water

and more furniture

as you enter the front door, this WAS your (mint green) view to the left

this IS your far more neutral view

mint green view from the stairs of the living room and front door

netural view from the stairs, with a bunch of our junk by the front door, since we were about the leave for philly when taking these photos (yes, i snapped them in november and finally posting them now)

a close up of the living room. as a point of reference, the windows are to the front porch

our purpley powder room on day one

aside from putting the toilet seat down, not much has changed, but there are plans for a better paint color in our near future

the yellow kitchen on move in day

ah yes, much better as soft pumpkin

another view into the dining room (standing near the fridge in the kitchen, in the doorway to the study)

yay for pumpkin! also, we've added shelves to one of the walls now and plan to hang a beautiful piece of artwork on the wall above the buffet once it arrives

this was the previous owners laundry room, but we asked them to move the laundry machines to the basement so we could use this space as a study. it's a room off of the kitchen and on the other side of the wood wall you see is the front porch

a bit of a messy view from the kitchen

empty on move in day, from the brick wall (still in the study)

from the opposite corner of what you just viewed

i'm not going to show everything upstairs because we haven't painted any of the 3 bedrooms yet. the two smaller bedrooms are both this blue color. this is the guest room, and then there is another just like it, but a mirror image. the master is a gross brown, so we'll show those photos after we paint it the silvery green color we've had for a while now

from the back of the yard. that thing on the left was the POD the previous owners were using. it's since been replaced with our two cars...one of which is broken...but that's another post altogether

another view of the yard...

finito! we hope that if you haven't had the chance to visit yet that you will soon!
