befores and afters

i've finally unpacked enough to locate the camera and the adapters so i thought i'd post these pictures of the new place. as you can see, we've still got a long way to go. no pictures hung yet or curtains. heck, most of our furniture is still not in place. but it'll give you an idea...

kitchen:

so far we've built a half wall to help close up the kitchen and add more wall space. we still need to repaint, add an island or more cabinets along the wall, get a new stove....

living room:

we painted in here and love the color (despite some early apprehension). we're still working on the furniture. right now we don't have room for all the chairs in other rooms so they're hanging out in here until we can make space. we also need to hang curtains and blinds.

dining room:

we painted this room a green color similar to the color of the wallpaper on this blog. the color doesn't really show in this picture. we plan to paint the kitchen this color as well.

front bedroom:

the room's a little messy and the pictures are taken from opposite angles. but you get the idea.

Congratulations, guys! It is adorable! I can't wait to see it in person.

My favorite parts of the photo tour:
The Lamp
The Mokey on the table

I love it! I love y'all!

Two things.

1) I'm just a little disappointed to not see a picture of the toaster oven on top of the microwave oven on top of the conventional electric oven. But only a little.

2) After seeing the before & after pix of the dining room, where a body ends up sprawled on top of furniture, it was hard not to see the after picture of the front bedroom without thinking that there's a body of some sort on the bag on the dresser. I'm just saying.
