The New House: Before

Here is our new house. These pictures are from August, so the place already looks pretty different. We are still not living here yet, but move in day is getting closer!

Decorative front over porch. This is what is under the vinyl siding. One day we'll expose the rest of the original siding.

Office/front room.

Living room and dining room. View from the living room.

Bedroom, facing out.

Bedroom, facing in. That closet is gone now.

Kitchen: this is one of the biggest changes. We have phase one of a brand spankin' new Ikea kitchen being installed now.

Kitchen: different view. The door on the right is to the back deck and the door on the left is the bathroom.

Bathroom: completely gutted and started from scratch. We have a bathtub and tile, but no toilet or vanity at the moment.

Bathroom entry: the window is the only thing remaining from this shot.

The back yard. This will be Phase 623. We still have a lot of projects on our list.

The bamboo forest next door.

On the Move

In case you haven't heard... we are down to one house! We closed on our old house last Wednesday. There is someone new keeping house on Leland. We will miss the little bungalow, but are excited to have a fresh start at our new place!

Our new home is still getting the finishing touches. Josh is working hard to get the bathroom and kitchen livable. In the meantime we are hunkering down at the Savage Homestead. Iris, Jennifer, and Buster are enjoying quality time with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Paula. Josh stops by every so often to sleep and eat. If you see him, offer food and message... he's a busy guy!

Keep on the lookout of pictures of the new house!
