Settling In

Now that Andy and I have more or less settled into the new house, I thought I'd share a few pictures. It's not quite as organized as we'd like, but it's getting there. We're planning to repaint, and we still have many pictures to hang. I also have to brag about my homeowner moment when I successfully fixed our running toilet (I gained a mechanical skill point---it rocked!).

Here's one of our gigantic master, which does not get filled up by our new king bed.






We decided to upgrade when we figured out that our queen box spring would not fit up the narrow attic stairs (or down the steep basement stairs either!). We had to get a split mattress and split box spring, but all four of us fit comfortably on the bed!







Andy's pride and joy (other than the

beverage fridge in the basement) is the 'book room,' which also holds most of our cds.









We're not crazy about the strange painted border, but I admit that it is growing on me. However, I draw the line at the matching border on the shades. We need to get new blinds!!

Here are the dining and living rooms.












We were okay (not thrilled) with the color in the living room until Kerns pointed out to Andy that it was the same color as Greensburg High School (thanks a lot Kerns!).

Here's one of the 'bunk bed' room featuring the bunk beds made by my dad. Downside of this guest room: you can't have the fan on if you want to sleep in the top bunk!
