the old house

I have PICTURES. I downloaded approx. 800 a couple days ago so I'm going to post them and update all those of you actually read this thing......

MY HOUSE.

Ok I am renovating (well dusty and I) and so there has been some interest in the last place we fixed and sold and so I'm going to start with those pictures. (and just as a side note I am not at all bragging about how great of a decorator I am cause I am not and do not think that of myself BUT the place looked a bit better when we left)....

the top two are the basement which we carpeted and la la la and then there is one of the living room upstairs which we finished the floors and painted and electrical and light fixtures and well pretty much everything except we kept the original moldings. and the last is the outside of the house which we did nothing to except for the roof and fence and planted some shrubbery.

I don't have a picture of my fav. room which was the upstairs bath because I forgot to take one of it so alas....

I found looking through the pictures that I miss the old house. I miss the creaky floor while sneaking around trying not to wake kids up I miss the HUGE trees BUT the last house didn't have a view like this........

If you look closely the town we moved to is nestled in the bottom of this valley and you can see it in the center-left of the pictures. Dusty is absolutely in love with living here and I am surprised that I also love it. I was sure I'd miss the prairie. I know most of you complain about the brown but to me it was beautiful and I was worried that I'd feel claustrophobic and trapped but I'm enjoying it immensely. There is a giant picture window in the living room that I get to knit by in the quiet afternoons and I don't think I could ask for a better view.
