The yard is still nothing but dirt,
but, hey, it's our dirt:)
And a back porch will come in time.
Had to build what we could afford, ya know?

Again, welcome.
Don't let the bright colors scare you.
They'll make you smile--just give them a minute.
And please forgive our mess.
Organizing takes a while.

Do you need to freshen up before we begin the tour?
No?
Alright, then let's head to the music room.

We're still looking for a used piano,
and our keyboard has yet to make it over.
But rest assured that music will flow from this room eventually.

Feel free to browse the books
or rest a spell
as we stop by the living room.

Or if you're feeling hungry,
we can pass through the nook over into the kitchen.
I'll whip something up.

I'll even let you feel all fancy
by letting you sit at the dining room table to eat.
Just don't take Dot's chair.
She gets upset about that.

I think it is about time we head upstairs.
There's a few more things to see.

You sure you don't need the bathroom?
Well, here is another one if you decide you do.

I'll even let you do your laundry free of charge.

Dot's room,
along with all our bedrooms
is still a work in progress.
We still need to do most of the upstairs painting,
and we will buy some more pieces of furniture in time.
But she is happy as a clam with her big windows.
A place to sleep and see her new morning light is all that child needs.

We won't even bother with the nursery or guest room right now.
Not much to see.
Onward to the Master bath/bedroom.
Man, I feel so grown up saying that.

Nothing fancy here.
We'd love some matching side tables and lamps,
but we're working with what we have for the moment.

Hope you enjoyed your tour!
I'm sure we'll keep you posted as we continue to
make this house our home.
Have a delicious day!
1. colors and the ability to see them
2. unpacking things I forgot we had
3. lots of sunshine through the windows
