House Tour

Big changes have been happening in our lives!  I'm excited to show you around our new home!

Let's start with where I am now.  Here's my desk:

It's in the kitchen, and I'm loving it!
(Please ignore the mess in the background.  I just went grocery shopping and haven't put everything away yet.  And yes, that is CARPET in our kitchen.  I'm not really loving that, but we are living with it.)
It's in a nice sunny spot and having it next to the radiator keeps me nice and toasty while I sip my cuppa tea during afternoon quiet time.

Here's a closeup:

I've got my Mac-top, my coffee cup, my homekeeping notebook, my study Bible, my emergency scrunchie, and my chocolate stash.  Who could ask for anything more?

Here's a tour of the living room panning to the right:

Yes, we covered the fireplace with the couch.  Because we are renting, we are not allowed to use it, and this keeps the draft down.

If you saw our old house, you may be surprised to see that the living room paint color is almost identical to what we had in our old place!  Convenient, huh?  And the picture/clock arrangement is not ideal to my eye and is messing with my sense of feng shui.  Long story short, the landlord doesn't want us adding any new nails to the walls, so we have to use the existing ones, which aren't always ideally situated for us.  But that's ok.  We can live with funky feng shui.  Especially when this is more what the living room usually looks like:

With lots of toys, cheerios, and children strewn about. 

Here's our little "Library":

It is supposed to be the "formal dining room", but using it as a library and comfortable place to play and do school works so naturally for us.  And we ended up doing this because our very large table that seats 10-12 wouldn't fit in this room, so our dining table is in a sort of addition off of the kitchen... a room straight out of the 70's with looooooooooong shag carpet.  *sigh*  Yeah, I'll have to show you that one later. 

We were able to rent this home after many, many weeks of prayer, and I know that some of you joined us in those prayers and we are just so grateful.  In so many ways, this is a wonderful place for us to be and it is working so well for our family.  I'll try to share some more pictures another day.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
