This little house of mine

I'm ready to let it shine! Per some requests, let me do a little show and tell about our most recent (and most expensive... mm, except Sean's med school education) acquisition.

It's a patio home so the set up of all the surrounding homes is kind of weird and our front entrance isn't the most obvious or grandiose.

I don't really mind- all the better to stave off the soliciters! But maybe I we ought to add a little sumpin' sumpin' to make it stand out. Any ideas?

You know what's great? No walls connecting to homes of people who enjoy yelling matches and have the cops called on them to break up the many domestic disturbances. Joy!

There's beautiful hardwood floors in the living room/dining room and hall. Ha, you should see Pogo slide back and forth as she chases her ball. There's a fireplace that I'm SURE we'll use daily. The walls all have a nice non-white paint coat that will work just fine for all the places we decide not to paint. The windows are super huge and let it lots of light!

Oh yeah, for some reason I decided not to turn the lights on. Let's say I was being more environmentally conscious. Yeah, woo earth!

Such a pretty kitchen! With tile floors and backsplash! The stove and dishwasher are brand spankin' new, to boot! I think the walls need a little color though, don't you think?

It's a three bedroom house- I know, master bedroom, kids' room, AND an office/spare bedroom. Talk about spacious! Ohhh, I'm so excited to finally be able to decorate for the boys. Right now, I'm thinking a slate blue wall, I think that'd look so good with the white trim and dark wood furniture. But we're still in the planning stages.

There's two bathrooms, just like our apartment, but, ah, they're so much bigger. See that counterspace? That brings me glory. No longer will Sean have to crane over me to try and do his tie while I take up the whole mirror putting on my makeup, or whatnot. Space is highly underrated.

And we get a garage! And you know what else goes in that garage? Yes, cars, but something else too. A washer and dryer! Our very own laundry! No more quarters, no more broken machines that eat my money and leave my clothes soapy and wet, no more saving up for a big load of laundry to maximize our money's worth.

Can you hear them? The choir of angels? I think they're singing the hallelujah chorus. I think I'm in heaven.

Can you imagine having to do coin-operated laundry with twin infants? Shudder


There's a little taste of our beautiful, stately mansion. If you want to see more, come on over!
