Our home

I haven't taken pictures of every space in our home... I should probably do that before too long. But here are a few pictures that I did take last week. Caleb's room is put together (except for hanging pictures on the walls) but it isn't included in these pictures, sorry!

Speaking of Caleb...he is finally happy again (for good hopefully). This last couple of weeks have been rough between a cold, possible sinus infection, an ear infection, the side effects of the antibiotic, teething...he has been a constant fussy noise in the background unless I am holding him. Now that he is happy and content playing by himself with his blocks I can finally blog! Whew.

So here goes the [brief & incomplete] tour:

The "before" picture. This is what the view from the den to the kitchen was when we first moved in.

Another shot of the same view, including the staircase

View from the kitchen down to the den

Oops...don't know how this cute picture snuck its way into the tour...

Our master bedroom, we painted the room from a mossy green to this grayish blue color.

Upstairs guest/hallway bathroom

Although we have taken out some of the clutter in this room, it still pretty much looks the same. This is the front room, which will be a sitting room down the road (need to lay hardwood floor throughout this level, from front door through to kitchen...and get furniture!)

The kitchen...plans are to have cabinets refinished and new countertops put in...but those plans are a ways away. You can see the left side of a door on the right side of the picture. That is the door to the backyard and patio. Not included in this picture...the garage access door, it is on the same wall as the fridge.

Sorry for the dark picture! This is the eat-in kitchen area.

The "after" photo of our renovation. The railing and walls need to be painted still.

The new view from the den to the kitchen. The door on the right side of the photo is to the unfinished basement. On the wall right of that door is the laundry room and another guest bathroom. There is also a guest bedroom off the den.

So there it is. Its a work in progress but thankfully not so much work that it is a constant stress. We are so happy to have our first home!
