New House

The last several weeks have been very busy with the move to our new house. We bought a house in a nice neighborhood with lots of children. The house is wonderful and spacious (so much so that we will have several empty rooms for a while) and its most unique feature is the climate controlled wine cellar in the basement that the previous owners (with a very recognizable wine name) installed when they had the basement finished. We are mostly settled into the house but still have to do the finishing touches like put pictures on the walls and organize the garage. Here are some pictures of the house:

Back of the house and backyard:



The garden area that will hopefully be flourishing next summer:

The entry-way chandelier from the upstairs landing:

Hayes' room (the only room in the house whose decor is completely finished):

Hayes'/Guest Bathroom:

Another Bedroom--currently Hayes' Playroom:


Laundry Room---notice the awesome front-load washer/dryer pair that we got for an incredible deal and the utility sink off to the side that we are in love with:

Guest Bedroom (awaiting anyone who would be inclined to visit!):

Basement bar:

And the piece de resistance, the wine cellar, already stocked with wine and champagne left for us by the previous owners (the wine was part of the negotiations in our offer/counteroffer):

We'll post more pictures as we get more rooms finished. But you know what would be better than seeing tiny little pictures on your computer screen? Seeing the house in person! Our door is always open---and we love visitors!
