It will be ours by the end of June. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005cz02.xml This is the origianl pic of the front entry from the listing. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005cz02.xml 6c7bdbe185bc33ef60f41152664b9a06 image/jpeg 320 240 34595 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005cz02 Here is the view from the street/driveway. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005dyft.xml 2396c0ce2f3bff8d5be6a4cfec6e29db image/jpeg 320 240 24929 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005dyft The house sits a little off-center in a double corner lot. So, there really isn't a back yard or front yard, just a big L. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005e99w.xml 0bb4c4c17804ea8ee68a166f41adde0d image/jpeg 320 240 38611 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005e99w The "back" portion of the L, with the garden shed and apple tree. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005fkez.xml 2131f003bdb9fbd6afd8a50d440b07e0 image/jpeg 320 240 38950 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005fkez http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005z12z.xml 1d46c50bc950bec6acc73e62611afdc6 image/jpeg 1024 768 338163 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005z12z And here we have our lovely front stoop. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/000700r8.xml 687bf20371e8b7ed0ec9a93c34db1ff5 image/jpeg 768 1024 342144 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/000700r8 Here are the rhododenron beds. I don't know what that L shaped bed is about. I'll probably get rid of it and add some sort of round brick seating area back by that terracotta pot. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005x3ks.xml f657c79db818c85a6597e3f8473318a9 image/jpeg 1024 768 324169 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005x3ks Here's the compost pile we'll probably inherit. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005rw97.xml 2799bdb4dce9a01308a096dd809d9fd5 image/jpeg 1024 768 341052 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005rw97 This is looking in to the yard from the side gate. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006dz60.xml 02d888a94cefcb43dab5fef33c3b1e5c image/jpeg 1024 768 364699 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006dz60 The maple tree and front hedge http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005t0ca.xml c2a79d777d2c32c4f03d903295aab5f6 image/jpeg 1024 768 379055 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005t0ca We're going to have to work with these beds so the vegetation isn't growing up against the house. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005wd84.xml f2ebe58dff3e99bbd3c04983d7acb881 image/jpeg 1024 768 365280 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005wd84 This is the back door that goes into the garage looking out to the gate that gives us access to the unpaved side street. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005qq6x.xml 80bd1ae76c949480069d9774ae721393 image/jpeg 1024 768 383466 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005qq6x http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005ss5r.xml b70c9fa052143ae7f26ab2b43836e099 image/jpeg 1024 768 410685 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0005ss5r http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006fy0c.xml 198f7de19062db3cb252dde53cee2e0c image/jpeg 1024 768 445286 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006fy0c The bathroom window was replaced with this smaller window. Someday, down the road we'll probably change it back to it's original size, or expand the bathroom out, altogether. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006gr57.xml 96d207e143531906d301911d4740a568 image/jpeg 1024 768 408323 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006gr57 We have a view of an extinct volcano (Mt Tabor) and the West hills of Portland from most spots on the lot. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006hy9e.xml 1721869d15d195c091ad0eb754884449 image/jpeg 1024 768 409884 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0006hy9e Here's the front door. We need a lot of stuff. It's amazing what an additional 400 sq feet of living space will hold. Especially when all of the junk has a basement or a garage to live in. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/000789c2.xml 4c0f9f95cf76cc508ba31ea64eefac95 image/jpeg 400 300 34889 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/000789c2 blue house http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r I want to get a round table and a drum pendant for this dining nook. I need to make a cushion for the bench, and we may add some drapes too. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00079k1c.xml 15889ba13e9d16934054e2350f2de400 image/jpeg 400 300 46094 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00079k1c blue house http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r I have the nook all worked out, but we need some sort of medai/desk/workspace solution for this spot. We use this computer as our little cinema, and this really is the most appropriate spot for it. It just doesn't have anything/place to live in yet. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007adpe.xml a9dc63c1122675f5d082e468ff207ee9 image/jpeg 400 300 32534 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007adpe blue house http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r Currenlty, I'm sitting on the loveseat when I use my computer, which is perched on a chair. I need to get a laptop. We also need some decent end tables and I need to get to work on some appropriately scaled art for this wall. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007byzg.xml 3a00cea45b14669f49481a3b1f47e8b4 image/jpeg 400 300 23893 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007byzg blue house http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r This is another view of the love seat, for perspective. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007c4kr.xml 519b9d35ba11405f3e529e24dbdb4cd4 image/jpeg 400 300 27442 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007c4kr blue house http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/0000yk1r http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007ex95.xml 17ba15cd8d53e37b3cd934ce26a8541b image/jpeg 400 300 40293 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007ex95 kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007fc8z.xml 25b3b466e5cce9bcd40c3b6f148aa6d4 image/jpeg 400 300 25766 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007fc8z kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007g9bf.xml 919934e42d3f08ac5029de44049b9a0c image/jpeg 400 300 28580 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007g9bf kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007h786.xml c058e8a32c71da17a8323f0f6a2fa871 image/jpeg 300 400 47226 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007h786 kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007k1se.xml 69478e98779aaf0f92b974cffcd28566 image/jpeg 290 400 35270 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007k1se kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007pzee.xml aa76fa20bdc2449c3df64555dde42062 image/jpeg 300 400 31443 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007pzee kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w Who needs a big refrigerator when you have a juke box? http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007q0b3.xml 1da765867e57752e43b0b08279a378ba image/jpeg 300 400 27792 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007q0b3 kitchen http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/gallery/00011k8w Here's our guest bedroom wearing its old color which is way too dark. It's a hunter green and it's overpowering. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007s36g.xml 7a4ee7cab141d444ecf9ca3933d50bd9 image/jpeg 300 400 17141 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007s36g We're probably going to take these doors out until we get a chance to strip them. I'll put a curtain up in the meantime. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007tt1a.xml d935130e5a2bb9effefa7ebaffa94d78 image/jpeg 300 400 19237 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007tt1a Here's the same corner that is in the first shot with one coat of primer. It already feels a lot better in the room. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007wfgs.xml 59efaaa27e21637784ade096fa26c9c2 image/jpeg 300 400 15845 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007wfgs The trim will also look much nicer with the lighter color. You can see the spike lavender and the pear tree outside the window. The primer looks a little like limewash. On the plaster walls, the effect is pleasant. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007x69a.xml cfd65c6de705b752cbe4531893201c2c image/jpeg 300 400 19400 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0007x69a Here's our gecko colored walls and a pear colored pear from our yard. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0008254x.xml 23949dbe1bbebdf4a390e539f36cc009 image/jpeg 300 400 20138 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0008254x Here's my fabulous fireplace.
