Our house

First off, just let me say that it's really hard to get *good* pictures of a house. AND, never mind the clutter in my kitchen (or any other part of the house). ;)

This is the front of our place. I couldn't get the whole front because we have a fairly tall fence in front and you wouldn't see it anyway.

We come in our "front" door on the side, here by the driveway.

This is our front hallway. I'm still amazed at the space. That's an actual church pew there, to help guage how large the entry is. For those of you who actually got to experience our "front entry" in our Victoria house, you will understand our amazement. ;) The door on the left goes into a sitting room/living room, but we will likely use it as a spare bedroom someday (when we can actually afford to furnish it). At the moment, it is where we keep our double stroller and Colin's bike. We have no lockable shed outside, unfortunately. Gotta take that up with our property manager at some point.

Another long hall. Our bedroom, the boys' room, the bathroom, and the living room are all off this hallway.

Our living room. No smiles from the 5 year old, apparently. And the couch and chairs? SO comfy. The wood-burning stove is a magnet for Silas. I have washed black soot off his hands and face countless times. Tomorrow, we go pick up a fire guard I bought second hand. What a relief that will be.


Kitchen. Our favourite part of the house and the room that sold us on it. Just off the kitchen is a large closet space that houses our washer and dryer and laundry sink. And down another short hallway is the playroom, and our computer room.



Colin liked this view from our back deck. Our yard is terrible (which is why there are no pictures of it), but our neighbour behind has some beautiful trees to gaze at.
