for Virginie

So . . . here's the virtual tour of parts of my house. We'll start off with the basement/lower level of the "split", which we (re)painted and (re)carpeted. It serves as a combination study and entertainment area. The entertainment center and TV (and futon, which you can't really see from this first angle) all came courtesy of Dad's house.

NB - The bright pink you see in the background is the half-bath. We did not paint that, and it will be repainted with a color more suitable to our eye health, but it's not high on the priority list.



Another view. Corey's built in bookshelves are only partway done. Eventually the center will have shelves, and there will be trim around the edges on the front so it looks all nice and even. And that middle set of shelves should get all those books off the floor!

This should give a better idea of what the "split" aspect is. You walk in on the main level with the kitchen and living room, and can either go upstairs to the bedrooms and bathroom, or downstairs to the basement, utility room, and half bath.


The eat in kitchen as viewed from the living room. We've put one coat of paint on the left wall, and eventually the whole kitchen should be that color, getting rid of the awful border.


Look at that adorable little dog! To his right you will see the half staircase down stairs, and behind him the living room.


View of the living room from the upper landing.


This picture is taken from our guest bedroom which isn't set up yet, and I'm not showing a picture of till it looks a bit nicer. Down the hallway on the right are the middle bedroom (which will be a reading/craft area), and our bedroom to the right, the bathroom straight ahead, and the linen closet to left next to the bathroom.

For comparison to how the house looked before we bought it, you can view my photobucket album here.


I hope you enjoyed your tour. Come again soon!
