As promised, here is a short pictorial tour of my new home, as it's coming together. I'm not going to post a picture of the outside, for safety reasons. Without further ado...The Kitchen...The living room - as seen from the breakfast area...The living room - as seen from the entry, looking on to the breakfast area...The dining room - as seen from the entry (the table looks tiny, for some reason)...The master bedroom...The (messy) Study...The Master Bath (tub), or what I like to call "The Sanity Keeper"...That's what got put together this week! We are SO ENJOYING being here! Thanks for being interested, and if you're ever in my neck of the woods, let me know!
