So here is inside the house.

Promise me you will view these mostly as 'before pictures,' ok? After all, we've only lived here less than two weeks.  (As always, click to enlarge any of these.)



My favorite room--the dining room. I had to paint it right away--the bright(!) yellow was a bit too cheerful for me. Er hem. The blue is softer in real life. The chandelier was brown and orange so I painted it white and added my costume jewelry white pearls.






LOVE the bay window and the huge crab apple tree with the birdfeeders. Tom keeps binoculars handy.





The kitchen. Note the infamous orange countertop. Outside the window is the gorgeous view I showed you in the post below. I'm painting the top half of the walls the same blue as the dining room and the lower tiles will be white.



The baker's pantry. Love this, even in its present condition.



These next photos are of the living room which I'll be living with till I decide what to do with it.



The built-ins are nice. The paneling is not nice.  シ







Some people like the way I store my old books in our clock. I did this in our apartment when space was tight.




A favorite corner.
