Last posting for a while...

I expect this will be the last posting for a while on this blog. The rooms are about as done as they'll get until we have time to get to buy some more curtains, pick up furniture, etc. Andrew has the stomach 'flu now and I haven't been getting much sleep so it's kind of low on our priority list (never mind there's about a thousand things still to do for Christmas...)

Anyhoo, here's the living room now that there are books on the shelves:

Dave came over today and got the pilot lights going for me so that we could have the gas fireplaces on. I like 'em for looks as much as for heat. So cozy!

The den with the fireplace on. This is the room we need some kind of furniture for (and Davey's bed should arrive any day now from Sears).

Here's a view of the living room again, from the hallway as you come from the front door.

And the laundry room. That bar across the window is our old shower curtain rod - I want to use it for hanging some things to dry.

The washer and dryer. The delivery guys dropped the washing machine when they delivered it so we get a new one on Saturday.

A slightly different view of the laundry room. We brought our bench in (the one that was in the garage before) and as soon as Andrew is able to help with setting up the house he's going to put the shelf up that goes with it.

In the basement. Eventually I'd like the TV to be here and not upstairs.

The kids corner of the basement. Eventually we're going to cover most of the floor in these tiles. They're pretty cheap, very spongy (better than rugs!) and easy to clean.

That corner is going to be my computer/craft area.



And the pile of boxes I still need to go through and sort away. Most of it is either the toys that go in the bins you saw in the pic of the kids area, or summer time things like our cooler, beach toys, etc.
