Furnished!

The house is now furnished and we've been going up every weekend for a couple months now. Both of our Mom's came up with us for the moving in weekend which was helpful because we could pass Lucy around and take turns as the others moved in and set up house. As I was preparing these pictures I realized I couldn't find ANY of the Mom's, which is disgraceful, but I will hunt them down and put them up eventually. In the meantime, here it is, the house in it's lived in condition. The light is beautiful. I remember way back when it was a bunch of raw wood and we were camping inside and I would sit there and daydream about the day we would be in there for real, cozy and warm and sitting on furniture and cooking in the kitchen and sleeping in a real bed, and now here we are living the dream! It's been such a pleasure.

The Living room

The Kitchen

The Hall

Ben built the bookshelves out of old solid core doors that Richard saved from a job in the city. they were hanging around the garage up in the big house for ages and Ben took them when it was sold. Finally they found a home.

The Living Room (looking the other way).

The bedroom is on the other side of that wall. The wood burning stove will eventually go where that pile of boxes and junk are now.

The Bathroom

The blue film that protects the doors will be removed when we put the handles on.

The Bedroom

The Bedroom

Very small! Designed pre-baby. We are already dreaming about the extension...

Cozy and warm inside.
