Moved In

Sorry to keep you all in suspence for a whole week, but moving is a busy time! Now that we're all moved in, it's time to unpack. Fortunately there's no longer a time-pressure, so I can take however long I want! But, I hate living out of boxes, so it's mostly all done already. Now, let's take you on a tour of the house. Here is the dining room. The table looks a bit small and quite out of place being all beat-up after almost 11 years of use! But it works. Here we have the kitchen. We're still planning on getting counter-stools for around the island one day soon. The trim kit around the microwave is still not in place - we need the smaller size.
As you can see, the fireplace mantle and bookshelves are not in. The finish carpenter is apparently building them in his garage, and then when they're ready he'll come and install them and be out of here in a day. Rock around the fireplace has to wait until the finish carpenter is finished. And we're still waiting for rock on the front of the house, but it's been nasty-rainy this last week. Not very summer-like! Here is the office. Or at least part of it. It's hard to take a picture of the whole thing at once!
The master bedroom is just as gynormous as we imagined it would be! But I love the vaulted ceiling and the dark blue walls.
Rachael and Kaitlyn like their pink room, though they say they're tired of the animal border already. TOO BAD! is what I say! I like it - it really livens the place up. And I think they really like it, too, they just won't admit it.Here we have the guest room, if any of you ever want to stay the night!And, last but not least, is the all-important craft room! Still in a state of dissaray, but I think that's what I'm going to work on today.
If you'd like to see the house in person, we're having an Open House on Saturday June 21 from 2-4. Come check it out! (Hopefully by then everything will be finished!)
