First Home Photos

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 22, 2009, 1:41 PM
Woohoo! Got them up! Some of these are a little blurry because I'm not a good photographer, and the camera is of average quality. Let the tour begin!

Here are some outside views of my home.

Photobucket I picked out the garage paint myself. :D

And here is a bit of landscaping in the front yard.

Let's move to the front door... :)

Photobucket

And go inside! (My mother and I frosted the glass in the front door ourselves. It was a little too open to peeping eyes for my taste before, but I think it's come out great!)

Photobucket This is the first view you see when you enter. The kitchen is off to the right, and the living room is to the left. Here are some more shots of the living room.

Photobucket (as seen from the front door)

Photobucket (as seen from the kitchen)

Photobucket (as seen from sitting on the couch) That's Georgie by the window. As you can see, he is doing better than ever now with no signs of urinary troubles. :)

Photobucket This is the view I get from the living room. It's so sunny out, you can't make much out, but it's nice. Very green, very shady from the trees, and we're up on a slight hill so we get to look down at everything. :love:

Photobucket Looking up reveals cathedral ceilings. I LOVE these! They make the rooms feel so much bigger. We also have cathedral ceilings in our bedroom!


Let's go to my favorite part of the house - the kitchen! I took most photos here because I love it so much.

Photobucket (as seen from the front door) That's Georgie and Maxwell on the kitchen counters.

Photobucket This is a closeup of the water feature I keep running on the kitchen counters. It's nice and soothing.

Photobucket This is the eating area seen from standing by the refrigerator. :D I love my beautiful bay windows!

Photobucket So much, that I took another photo with the natural light only. :3 Note that Max is a camwhore and appears in both of these shoots. By the way, I personally arranged all the flowers in the house myself, including matching vases. What do you guys think of the kitchen ensemble?

Photobucket And if I stand by the kitchen table and do a 180, we have this for a view.

Photobucket And again, because I love my kitchen.


Let's mosey on down the hallway...
Photobucket

Photobucket First up on the right is the main bathroom. This is it as seen from the hallway (it has its own miniature hallway leading to it).

Photobucket This is the countertop, along with another flower arrangement by yours truly. :D

Photobucket Continuing down the hall yields the washer and dryer on the right, normally behind track doors. The track is shot, however, so the doors are temporarily off.

Photobucket And immediately to the left is a spare bedroom which has become storage as well as a place for me to exercise.

Photobucket The door at the end of the hallways is storage. To the left of the end of the hallway is a spare bedroom which has become the computer room. Only what is required to function has been pulled out and assembled so far. The rest of it is still in a bit of shambles.

Photobucket We also store the cat and dog toys here for now in the white bin.

Photobucket Directly to the right at the end of the hallway is the master suite.

Photobucket This is our bed seen from the master bathroom.

Photobucket This is the counter top in the master bathroom, along with another floral note by me.

Photobucket This is the spa tub. Looks grand, doesn't it? Truth be told, it's much dirtier than it looks in this photo. I haven't even used it yet because I've seen some pretty nasty body funk and hair as I was cleaning it left from the people before. I plan to clean it a bit more before I used it. I really want to use it though! D:

Photobucket And these are the french doors in the master that lead out back. :)

I'm too lazy to narrate the placement of stuff in the backyard. There's not much to it right now, anyway, so it's not that big of a deal if you can't figure out where things are. We're currently in the process of digging a lot of the old stuff up and cultivating a brand new, fresh garden in many places.

And now for a brief introduction to all our pets. You met some on the tour already!

Photobucket This is Bourbon, THE sweetest love of a cat you'll ever find. :)

Photobucket This is Georgie, the one who went through all the urinary problems. He's fine now.

Photobucket This is Maxwell, sitting in the kitchen window. Due to his former life as a stray, we are at constant battle when I try to eat my food.

Photobucket This is Penelope (Penny), the tiniest cat I've ever seen, who was looking out the french doors until I interrupted her. She's full-grown!

Photobucket Penny again with my hand there for size reference.

Photobucket This is Pom-Pom. He's actually a Pomeranian, but when we shave him for the summer, he resembles a chihuahua more.

Photobucket And this is Sarah-Sue! She's extremely hyper all the time and has to be on medication. ._.

That concludes the tour! I'm sorry it was a bit rushed, but my sub ends today, so I had to cram them all in here at once. Didn't want to just post links. Who could sit through that?

Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!

Very pretty house
:iconchesney:
Please, please! Do! I would love to see it, especially to get glimpses of life in Ireland. :D

We were out walking the other night and I left the porch lights on. It got to be dusk and on the way back, I was just admiring how cozy our little house looked, nestled on the hill. It looked so inviting and warm with all its lights turned on. I would love to take a picture of it then, but I was only borrowing that camera. So far, we're loving it here. It's wonderful! Thank you. :hug:

Oh my God! :faint: Lovely house!

I really liked seeing pictures of all of your pets too, they're all such cute babies.
Sarah-Sue sounds a bit like my dog Princess. :aww: Princess is always hyper, though I doubt she's as hyper as Sarah-Sue.:lol:

I can tell by looking at her picture that Sarah-Sue is a ball of energy.

SS is pretty amazing. She's extremely intelligent, but her hyperactivity overshadows her ability to really learn. But she figures stuff out on her own very well, and she's also really tuned in. In fact, we have to keep our normal activites/voices relatively low-key because she picks up on us and then amplifies it 300 times, so if we show even the SLIGHTEST bit of excitement, she's out the window.

When we lived in MA with mom-in-law, she would lie under her feet while she worked on the computer. One time, mom-in-law had trouble with a document printing or something, and thought she had lost all her work, and started going, "No, no, no!" SS picked up on the anxiety and started barking really loud to call for help because she thought mom-in-law was in trouble. :lol: Pretty sweet though.

She's a rescue dog, though, and has been through a pretty bad past. I don't know the specifics, but when we first got her, she'd flinch every time we went to pet her. And her first fetch experience wasn't good. We went to throw the stick, and she tucked tail and hauled ass. I think she thought we were going to beat her with a stick. She also has a scar on her nose. No clue what she's been through, don't want to know. I would just like to kick the asses of the people who did whatever they did to her. And that's probably why she is the way she is. :\

She sounds like an amazing dog! :lol:
SS thought that there was trouble, so she thought she'd call for help! So awesome.


Princess wasn't a rescue dog, though she has gone through some abuse. ._.
We got her from my sister, and when my sister had Princess her boyfriend abused her.

When we first got Princess she was very skittish, she would often run and hide under the furniture or growl if someone tried to pet her.
It's taken several years to get her to the point where she's relaxed enough to trust her new family.
All the extra effort was worth it, because she's such a lovable dog!

I don't understand how anybody could hurt such sweet animals.

I swear to God, if that man comes around me I'll kick his ass in.

A kitten is on me and he smells suspiciously of poop. I hope he doesn't have any on him anywhere, because that would be bad, as he is sitting on me...
