New House!

For those of you who haven't heard, Eric and I have finally found a cute little house to call home! After our apartments decided to go up on rent AGAIN, we decided to take the plunge and spend a little more on a house. This little gem is what we found. It was built in 1938 and sits in the historic district of town really close to the hospital.

We won't be moving into our lovely new place for another month, but we went by tonight to take another look, plan out where we are going to put everything, and make sure all of our curtains, furniture, etc. will fit. And of course I had to take a few pictures while I was there (in addition to the ones I'd already been sent).

So, for all of you wonderful readers, here's a sneak peak at our new home!

(Note: A lot of these pics I took tonight, and the house is kind of messy since the current tenants are getting ready to move. There's also some that were taken by the owner a couple of years ago mixed in. It will, of course, look way cuter once we're moved in there!!)

The front door leads directly into the living room. Kind of hard to get a good picture of...

Yay for fireplaces! Supposedly it works, we just have to get a cover for it.

Better (older) pic of the living room from the dining room. The paint is a light gray color now instead of red.

Our cute little kitchen. There's some weird spaces and the fridge leans a little bit (the house IS 73 years old)... but I LOVE the windowsills and the pretty blue backsplash!

It also has several cute shelves above the windows and doors. How fun is that?

There's also a little door in the kitchen that leads down to the basement/laundry area... It's all concrete and bleh, so I'll skip that part!

Guest Bedroom/office #1... sorry, no good pics of guest room/office #2.

Downstairs bathroom (above and below).

Stairs up to master suite. :-) All the "doorways" have cool shapes like this.

Built-in office area for Eric.

This part is my favorite! A shoe area + 2 closets!

Master bath (there's a shower hiding back behind there somewhere...)

Back of the house...

And our beautiful yard! Though all the yard work seems a little intimidating!

So there you have it: our new home. We will, of course, be posting to show the changes we've made. Stay tuned for more updates on la casa de Yates!
