House Photos

Josh, Kate and M all hard at work preparing the downstairs family room for painting...

The finished product is what Josh likes to call his "Man Cave"...

...but there is still plenty of room for a very large Barbie house. We were taking this box out to the recycling pile but M claimed it. I guess we'll let her keep it there for a week or 2. The small holes in the wall are windows to an under-the-stairs cubby. M is a big fan of Harry Potter right now, so she loves having her own room under the stairs.

This before shot of the master bedroom was taken before we moved in.

It's a little sparsely furnished right now, but we're at least happy to have our bed - we only just got it on Friday!
This kitchen shot was also taken before we moved in.
We decided to put in a microwave above the stove and we have Jack to thank for doing that for us. It turned out to be a bigger job than anticipated. Thanks Jack!

This is M's bathroom (one of the perks of being an only child is you get your own bathroom!). We didn't decorate it, but M has added her own touch.
My favourite is the Barbie drying rack. They slot in there nicely!

Another shot from before we moved in...this is the dining area. The light shade definitely had to go!
Another thank you to Jack for turning that ugly lamp shade into these recessed lights. He also installed 4 other recessed lights in the family room that connects to this room, which didn't have any ceiling lights.The front of our house. The nicely trimmed hedges are compliments of Maureen. We are really grateful to all of our parents for all of the work they did to help get our house ready for us to move in. We love living here!

Your home looks lovely... and big enough for friends visiting! (: I really miss you guys and wish we could come see you in your new home. PS Ricky loves the "man cave" and says he needs one complete with a lounge with cup holders.

We love you living there, too! You've done a nice job with it all so far. I am jealous to see how much room you have around your new king-size bed. My room suddenly feels tiny and cramped! (But I love the bed).

Emma, I love it! You have all worked so hard and it looks a beautiful home. I hope we will come and see it for ourselves one of these days.

I love the view from the front. It is a lovely looking house and so nice for you to have established gardens. It all looks so nice and green. I love that Alex made Maureen a BLT! He looks so cute in his apron!

The place looks great. I really like the back deck. Can't wait to see it in person some day.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to read your post! But at least I have seen the house in person several times. I love having you so close, although I wouldn't have objected to a little bit closer (like down the hall).
