Big Happenings

I'm sure most people have heard by now that we are moving to Iowa City IA shortly. We've been up to a lot of other stuff, but for now I'm just writing to give an explaination of the pictures of the house that we're buying.


Here's the garage and the parking pad

Here's the driveway

This is the giant willow tree that we were surprised to learn was actually on the property and not the neighbors

This is a picture of the trees along the side of the yard

These are the trees in the backyard

Here's the corner of the house and more of the backyard

Here's the parking pad

Here's the front door and porch

This is the side of the house

Here's the back of the house

Here's another view of the back

This is the laundry room, there are also cabinets and I think a counter on the wall behind where I stood to take the picture. The laundry room is upstairs with the bedrooms.

This is the upstairs bathroom that the boys will use

This is the master bath: One sink, the other sink and tub, commode area, jetted tub, shower

Master bedroom, I kind of like those lamps on the wall

Master closet

One of the upstairs bedrooms

closet in another of the upstairs bedrooms, that's Xander

The "lookout bridge"

View from the lookout bridge down the driveway...

View from the lookout bridge toward the chandelier and top of stairs, complete with what will likely be my piano nook :)

The infamous cubbies in the mudroom

The rest of the mudroom with the window seat, complete with storage and the large reach in closet.

The pumpkin half bath

The kitchen

The pull out recycling center

The lazy susan cabinet

the pantry

The living room or family room or whatever

The screened section of the deck

The open section of the deck

The little bench or whatever at the bottom of the basement stairs

The media section of the rec room in the basement, complete with nice sconces on the wall

under stairs storage closet

Double sided fireplace in rec room

Other side of rec room

Basement bedroom, likely to be our computer room

Basement bathroom

Water-heater and manibloc plumbing

Unfinished area

The office or library or whatever on the main floor with built in bookcases

Dining room from front door, showing the shape of the room, from the kitchen looking into the dining room

The tile in the mudroom and half bath on main floor

Garage, lawnmower parking or whatever

Stub for natural gas bbq on screened part of deck

Exterior light, this one is on the back of the house, but it has similar ones on the front.

So, that's the picture tour, such as it is, sorry the exterior shots were blurry, I had a smudge on my camera lens and didn't realize it till later, but I did get it cleaned off for the interior pictures :)
