A Look inside the House

Some weeks there seems to be a lot of progress and other weeks nothing. Here's the latest:




Looking down into the basement. The lights on the left are called "kick-lights". I liked them because I can change the bulbs myself with getting the ladder out. The whole basement is painted "something blue" by Sherwin Williams. I kept singing the Smurf song while we were painting. It's VERY blue...but very pretty. Have I said: The basement is two bedrooms and a livingroom--total area about 26x26 or 676 sq ft.

Standing in the dining area looking towards the walkway on the west side of the kitchen. My pantry door is open and the main part of the kitchen is on the right. The center door goes down into the basement.--Laundry room is on the right side of that door.


Standing in the east side of the kitchen back again towards the pantry over the island which isn't where it's permanent location will be. Pantry has shelves!






My Pantry door. I wanted something different--took me two weeks to find this door. We'll see how long it takes me to break it!

In the livingroom. Doesn't everybody have two saws in their livingroom? The window on the right is over my kitchen sink.




Standing in the other end of the livingroom. The master bedroom is through the hall on the left side and my sewing room is the door on the right.


These two are my sewing room--and closet. I have a south and west window, so there's lots of natural light. The walls are painted a light tan color and the woodwork will be stained this week (HOPEFULLY) .
I was also told I'd have sidewalks, porches and a driveway this week. I've learned to get excited when you see them show up, but not until.

If you haven't noticed, this house is very open. The rooms are large and one flows into another. Had a gal come out over the weekend who wanted to know who designed the house. Yeah...MamaKoch the designer?! All of the contractors have loved working here because of the open feelings to the rooms. They say so many of the new homes today are small choppy rooms. This house doesn't have a LOT of rooms...just usable square feet in each one!
