A house in pictures

Hey, sooner or later, Bich does as promised.

We've clearly got a long way to go, but it's in some semblance of order (we won't talk about the upstairs) and it's comfortable. For us, anyway.


The kitchen, looking down the hallway at a kitteh and a not-well-placed litter box


Hey, we're like adults and stuff ... with a trashcan!

The bathroom -- new shower curtain, new curtain rod and rings.


Looking from the corner of the living room (I didn't say the pictures were in any sort of order.)


From the corner of the dining room, a kitteh.


A blank canvas, just waiting for a wine buffet and wall decor.


The real "office."


A lazy Caturday


The usual state of the television, thanks to Comcast.



The office/second guest room


Mama went a little nuts at The Container Store. We don't have a linen closet, so towels and sheets are in large canvas totes.


Again, all toiletries and beauty needs are safely Contained.


The Container Store had a big sale.


OK, it's not perfect and it's not the last solution to the problem, but everything is in order, I know where it is and it's pretty darn organized, all things considered. (Please do not ask about the Diapers.com box.) I'll very likely take down the hutch in the future and put up wall shelving.


If you look closely, you'll find four different colors of orange/yellow.


Kittehs love stairs.


I love our stairs, too. One of my big August projects -- funny how that list just gets longer and longer -- is to prime and paint the risers white. Some of the risers are paint-ready; others are not. I'd love to know how the previous owners managed that little feat.

Kitteh says "Hi! When's this crap going to make it onto the walls?" (That would be today, Woody, as Leezy and Lib are coming over to help.)

  1. Oooohhhhh .... it is absolutely beautiful! What an amazing transformation. Looks like a totally different place than the house you bought. It is now Brooke & Rich's "home." Wow. I love you.
