Kitchen, pt 2!

Our cabinets look a bit dated, so we've decided to update the hardware. (and maybe paint. or not)
Check it out! Thoughts?
ps. i know the wall under the cabinets looks awesome. it's on the list.
Watch for more kitchen updates. we have plans!

Livingroom: now inhabitable!

Check out our nice livingroom. The boxes in the pic are the ONLY UNPACKED boxes in the house (this isn't to say that some boxes have been opened and are still lying about :) ).

We've started putting up artwork and have gotten rid of a TON of stuff!! Things are getting sorted and put away nicely. Our place is really starting to feel like a home!

Above: couch, coffee table and cool artwork. It looks really small in the picture, but i think it looks ok up close.


Check out our piano situation. Again, things are still a bit haphazard, but they're coming along!
One week till I go back for the fair--our unofficial deadline to get things done!

Our Street



Still working on our yard and the front of the house....I think things will look shabby until next summer :S But, no worries, I'll still put some up as preliminary pics :)
Above is our street (shot from the bus stop). We live at the top of the hill....if our house were taller, we'd have a GREAT view of downtown....however, it's still a great neighborhood, even if our views are limited!

This is how we do bedtime

I went up to bed last night and this is what was waiting for me.
Sometimes pet ownership is just makes your heart happy :)


KITCHEN :)

Ok, it doesn't look like much...but it's coming along....we've got plans in the works!

above: door leads to outside and you can go down the stairs to the man cave (photos forthcoming)

below: sink and cupboards. they're surprisingly spacious!

below: better lighting on the cupboards! (notice my sweet mixer!)

entryway to the kitchen (livingroom behind me) (percy hanging out in the doorway)

this is our table nook/eatery area. this table is really cool--it has leaves that slide out...no picking them up, storing them etc!

BATH!

Here's our crazy bathroom. It's a bit intense, although some of the punch hasn't quite been captured in these pics. Imagine it a bit more orange and less drab.





NOTICE the floor. Handcrafted by miles and i. (a mental breakdown may have occurred in the process...)

However, don't look too closely.
Also, sorry it's sideways. I tried to fix it once and it didn't work. you can just tilt your head, right?

bedroom

This is what our room looks like (obviously, it could have used some staging...and I really don't like the lamp in the corner, but oh well).

I'm standing in the doorway and this is how the room is set up: bed in corner diagonally


To the left. Dresser and window
To the right: (miles' closet (our closest are soooo small. they're one per person ;))


You'll notice rooms aren't overly spacious here...they're just big enough. BUT. that's fine by me.

Photos of the mancave to come. And also the kitchen!
