huisje

well. here's the house! i know we haven't been keeping everyone posted on the process, but we looked at it twice, decided it might be the one (after lots and lots of discussion), and last night we had an accepted offer. today has been a whirlwind of phone calls, and we even got our inspection done already! it gets a pretty clean bill of health. we're supposed to close on the 16th. that's right, of may. i can't even believe it. we're totally insane. this month is crazy at work, and i've got something big every weekend--without all of this house excitement. anyway--to the pictures! this first one is, obviously, the front of the house. it's a good front porch, and there are hooks for a porch swing. the second is of the master bedroom. it's the only room with carpet, and i think we might leave it for a while until we can afford a big area rug to go under our bed--nari likes to crawl under beds, which is bad news for uncovered hardwood. this house has great hardwood! the second is from the front door looking back through the living room, into the dining room, and that door in the back is, well, the back door. the third picture is of the dining room. it's so big that i think we're going to put the table to one side and have a little sitting area on the other. the next two pictures are of the kitchen, which has plenty of room. trevor is pumped about the dishwasher. i'm pumped about the drawers and counter space. the next one is of part of the bathroom. i kind of don't like the tiling around the bathtub, but that's totally doable. and the last is of the garage apartment. yep, you read it right. once we get that baby fixed up, we'll be looking for a tenant. landlordship, here we come! not pictured: the guest bedroom/office with big picture window, and the big backyard with privacy fence, weeds, and a pile of cool old bricks.

so keep your fingers crossed that we make it over the finish line! no kinks so far...
