house pics...finally

ok, loyal readers. i have finally taken pictures of my house! sorry it took so long, but here goes.

here's my cute little street. kinda reminds me of braeburn back in bellaire.

and here's the front of the house. here in richmond, it's called a cape cod. i know that's what these little postage stamp-sized houses are called all over the country, but richmonders actually use that terminology in casual conversation.

here's the living room. as you can see, mimi already feels very at home here. eventually, there will be a big green sofa where the red chair is now. and i love the fireplace!

another fireplace view. see the big blank wall? that's where the sofa goes. i'll find another place for my beloved red chair.

here's the "entry way" with the new console table i bought. notice the two texas touches that travel with me wherever i go. lamp look familiar, carol?

here's the dining room. needs a little love, but my furniture fits well and it'll work for now.

here's the view of the kitchen as you walk in. why are the dishes piled up on the counter? oh, that's right. i have no dishwasher. bummer...

here's the view if you look right from the sink. random shelving at the end was left by a previous tenant. tons of storage for an old kitchen. notice the molas on the wall, grammie?

here's the view standing in front of the shelves looking back at the kitchen.

here's the mudroom that's off the back of the kitchen. it's 4 steps down, so that's why it's an overhead view. great storage and laundry room.

here's the view into the backyard from the mudroom. huge, eh?

if you look right from the back door, here's what you see. the picnic table made it all the way from texas!

and here's the view of the back of the house from the back fence. you'll notice that the grass is a little sparse, but hopefully it'll grow back with a little water and tlc.

it just occurred to me that i didn't take pictures of the bedrooms or the bathroom. i'll do that this week, i promise!
