Walk-through tour of our house!

Here are some pictures of our house (this is how it looks today...I just took the photos). Lots of pictures...hope you enjoy. This is the front of the house and the front entry as seen from 2nd St NW. You are looking north and a little east. You can see the west and south sides of the house from here. The windows in the middle of the picture are in our bedroom.
As you enter the front door you pass a coat closet on your right and you can see the dining room ahead of you.

We are entering the living room...more furniture on the way.Here is the dining room. Now, back up and look through the living room at the dining room from a different angle.Turn around to look at our office area. Stacy is a big fan of the roll-top desk...I think it is nice too.
Our new chairs. I think they are very comfy.While in the dining room, you can see the kitchen to your left--the living room is on your right.Take a look at the dining room from the other side, and you can see the bathroom.It's kind of tight, but it works well for us.Now back out of the bathroom and look to your left (south of the bathroom). You get to go into our bedroom. Our nightstands are rubbermade containers now, but we are looking for something a little classier.Don't you love our lace over the windows? I think it will be going away before too long. Turn around to head back out of the bedroom. You can see our closet from here. On the other side of the bathroom is the spare bedroom.It is a bit of a mess right now, but we are slowly working on putting things away. It helps to have places and furniture in which to put these things.Now we will walk back through the dining room to the kitchen.On the other side of the kitchen you can see the back door going into the screened porch. This door also leads toward our basement.Down to the dungeon...not really that bad. Let's take a look. This is the laundry area.My workbench and chair for hanging out when it gets too warm upstairs. I like this part of the house.Notice the platform for the washer and dryer? That is my addition, and it looks much nicer than it did before if I do say so myself...and I just did.Now we will head back upstairs for the rest of the tour (notice the storage under the stairs on the way out...very handy).Into the screened porch.A great place for some patio furniture...we are looking for some.The garage is quite a bit newer than the house.A great place for our bikes, not to mention the car.Notice the garage door opener. It is new...I installed it, and it works great.Now we are in the back yard and looking back toward the screened porch.We have a playhouse. Ideas for using this? Let me know.The gate leads out to Cascade Creek.Looking through the gate.I think this area is pretty.

Hope you liked the tour. Stacy and I are doing well. She is in the hospital more than I am right now (she is on a medicine service and spends every 6th night in the hospital, I am in the Emergency Department...not right now, I'm at home today...I work fewer hours, but I will work more in other months).

I hope this update finds you all doing well. I am liking it here, but I do miss seeing many people that I know well and love.

later,
KON

I can FedEx a couple of kiddos to try out the playhouse until you get your own. Just let me know. :)

Love the tour...place looks great! Keep up the good work, for an idea with the play house...what about some kids! It seems like everyone else in the family are having kids, but they don't have a sweet play house like you guys! :) Take care and keep posting pics.

Very nice, very nice! Have you scouted out a location for a compost heap? Perhaps somewheres not next to an entrance and two large windows? Are there any good opportunities for a rabid beast NOS to frolick about in the ceiling?
