Happy Turkey Day!!! I've been baking like a crazy person, but while the last batch of brownies were in the oven, I ran around with the camera and took a few shots of the place. Littleman was napping, so his new room and big bed are not featured, but you'll see some of our new furniture and get a gist of the pad. Please excuse the boxes and mess every where. I'm doing the best I can. OH, this first pic is of Lilcuz - our new little cousin from Guatemala. He is a WONDERFUL little baby!
So, when you come to visit, here's what you'll see when you park in front:
Eventually, this bright, airy space will be my office. I didn't bother to take a picture of Papabear's. You all know what it looks like, a mess of guitars, amps, computer, cables, and junk scattered on the floor. But, here is my space (isnl't the new books shelf awesome???):
Next is the lovely dining room...perhaps you'll be special enough to have a meal in here...we'll see when you visit.
The BEST space in the house is the gi-normous kitchen/living area. It's big, it's bright...and at night it's cozy. Just a wonderful space. We spend most of our time here...hence there being boxes everywhere else...
Our yard is tiny, but a haven for Littleman. It's just the right size for all of his stuff and I can see him where ever he goes.
I now have a luxurious bathroom. The following picture is of the tub - we mostly use the shower...but man, even I am impressed that this is MY bathroom. The sculpture is an original by my stepdad. He is QUITE the artist.
Finally, my new heaven. Attached to this beautiful bathroom is a lovely bedroom. It's huge, with super high ceilings and, not pictured, it has a huge windowseat. It's lovely.
Oh, today I spent around 4 hours baking. I made my first cherry pie...then I went on to make Papabear's two favorites: apple and pumpkin. I had to include Littleman, so we made sugar cookies (turkeys). They came out so nice, I had to take a picture. I hope they taste as good as they smelled while they were in the oven....
I never have enough crust to get it to the edges of the pie plate when I make apple pie...I need to increase that recipe...hmmm....
Well, hope everyone eats well tomorrow.
Your house is absolutely gorgeous... Congrats on such a good find!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We're really enjoying the fancy life...
ReplyDeleteYour new dwellings are fantastic!! Doesn't that tub make you want to soak with a good book? Thanks for inviting us in even if we are long distance guests. At least we won't track any dirt in, right?
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the pies are the reason I am still surrounded by boxes. I am almost finished with the office...thank goodness. The dining room is the last one on the list...Remember, if you ever want a field trip to visit some longhorns, you've got a place to stay! :)
