We're Heeeeere!

I've gotta watch Poltergeist again, I love that movie.

Anyway, Friday April 30th, 2010 we officially moved in to our new house! It took us almost a week after that to get every last bit from the apartment, but that was the first night we slept there :).

A whole bunch of our friends came, and we had a moving truck, and pizza (lots of pizza). It was good times. This is what stuff looked like the first week or so while we were still putting away the basic living 'stuff':

My Studio! That's what the orange was. To the right of the door is my big work table for my sewing machine, my dress form, etc. And on the 4th wall is the big closet for storing my multitude of crap.

Our lower level, the 2 opposing walls are green, with the fireplace there on the right. This room is STILL a pit, and I don't like having the messy desks all visible from the stairs. Tonight we'll be doing something about that! So I'll make a new post about it later.

Our very blurry living room!

Kitchen!

And of course the front hall. Complete with my new old lady gardening hat!

I'll go into detail on the rooms and what we did/are doing in subsequent posts, now that we're here full time!

The Grand Tour

So after that super busy weekend, we're back to regular life! I didn't get to do a single thing on the house which was frustrating, but it was still a good one. On Saturday we went to 2 weddings! And during one of the receptions we crashed a star wars themed reception down the hall... Then Sunday was my birthday! I am now officially a quarter of a century old. But Brian had to work and I had an appointment, so we're lucky we even got the lawn mowed this weekend.

Anyway, here is a little visual tour of our place from BEFORE we moved into it, so these pics are either from the listing, or pictures I took the day of the inspection:

This is the front of the house, and yeah, we're gonna take those trees down...

This is the hallway when you come
in with a half bath at the end:
and the other way:

Then you go up the stairs to the living room:
which connects to the dining space:
and the kitchen:

Up some more stairs, this is the hallway and that door is the linen closet:

This is the main bathroom. We're really excited to have 2 sinks:

The bathroom connects to the master bedroom(picture taken from standing in the bathroom door). And there are 3 bedrooms total.

If you go all the way back down to the lower level there is a second family room with fireplace:

(That's Brian's mom) there is a window to the left, and the utility/laundry room to the right.

We sit on a quarter acre, which gives us a pretty nice backyard:

Well that's what we're starting with! Pretty great blank canvas huh? We've got lots of plans and ideas. Up next I'll start talking about what we've done with our first month here!
