fisheye house

Playing with a new zoom wideangle/fisheye lens to get some shots of the new place - I call these the before series II. We've done a little bit more than the original before shots, but we are not even approaching after shots yet. After shots will require something other than the different tones of white. You can see most of our new furniture, but we are still working on the artwork and where we want everything. I left out the two bathrooms since we haven't done much of anything there. We are really feeling settled, and we love visitors!

Our backyard with deck (you see the very edge of J's grill)

Below: A room we affectionately call the barn room. The smallest kitty peanut has taken over this room as her territory and besides walking in and out of the side door and slider to the deck, we haven't used this room as often as the other living room (since we put the comfy furniture in the other). The red couch is a pullout for guests in addition to our guest room upstairs.


Our kitchen - wide and long, but the cabinets are bleh. We are thinking of getting some contrast going with a rich brown/taupe paint on the cabinets before we decide if we want to rip them out. They are in good shape, just can't live with faux whitewash wood over pinky peach.

Our bedroom with our dreamy builtins - We also get our own closets - My double door deal is behind me in this photo.

J's guitar room/office/guest room. The futon cover is being cleaned and this room will need some wallpaper recovery someday.

The very raw baby room - It's really just the bones now, but we have plenty of time.

Our living room area which runs along the side of the house. We plan that this far corner will act as a play area and will eventually house a baby swing, toy box, etc.

The other side of the living room area - This space usually includes me on the couch and J in his new favorite chair. It's nice to have space for bigger and better furniture.

The dining room - On the other wall is the built in china cabinet.
