... davy doings: our NEW home!

A LOT has happened since the last blog. Here's a quick rundown... I was sick, my parents came into town, we packed up the condo, we closed on the house, started cleaning the new house, moved, put stuff away and organized, started cleaning the condo, kept working, and, just now, have a chance to sit down a write about it.

That saved you a lot of time so now we can get to the good part... pictures! I'm a big fan of before and after pictures but in the craziness of everything we didn't get the "before" pictures, so I'll use the ones that were posted online when the house was listed for sale. I'm also bummed that because we got possession at closing the FOR SALE sign was already gone from the yard when we got home. We didn't get the obligatory first home picture with the SOLD sign on it. Oh well. We have a house that we love so I guess that is more important than that picture. :)

So, enjoy the tour! And, if you're far away, we have a guest room that would love some visitors!

Yes, it's a bit bare but we love how big and open it is!

And yes, this too is bare. Keep in mind we haven't even owned the house for a full week yet! I think it looks pretty good :)

(for those of you who are observant, we didn't paint! after working in the space and spending time in it, the color grew on me and now I love it. There may be a red kitchen in my future, but not now :)

our new "information center" in the corner of the laundry room, this is our drop off zone and our office

Ok, that's a lot of pictures. We haven't finished working in the bedrooms and bathrooms so we'll update those at a later date. Here's one more shot though, that shows the openness of the floorplan.
