some pix of the new place for Mother's Day

Lots of people (including our mothers) have requested photos of how the house is coming along. So, I thought I'd be all cute + try to match the same views as the pix from the MLS listing I posted before.

I very quickly realized that: a) whoever took the listing pix had one king hell of a wide angle lens on their camera; b) to replicate those shots would require piecing together at least 2 views per room; and c) after piecing together 1 or 2 rooms, I got fed up with it. You don't really need to see rooms full of boxes, do you??

From the street

It's been a very wet spring, and things are really green. We haven't turned on the sprinklers at all.

Living / dining rooms:

That's (part of) one of the shelves Jim made us, over on the left. Bram at the table, making the grocery list.

Kitchen:

Now with our junk! No floor replacement yet.

Second bedroom / office:

The breaker box cover panel is off, so I can paint it. Then we're going to hang the big, framed "Silence" poster over it (the blue corners). Wait, why am I painting the breaker box cover?

Backyard:

Note the new Weber grill! Also, the knee-high, already-gone-to-seed dandelions... did I mention it's been rainy?
