maribouSo I got pictures back today! Yay! Pictures!
If anyone wants to see the complete set, they're at http://www.sick.cirilo.net/~sick/jbrhouse/, but I disclaim ALL responsibility for the file names.

digitalis incited me to! It's all jitta's fault!
These are the pictures I took when the house was still empty. Eventually there will be some of it with all the stuff unpacked and set up.
This would be my house. Yes, it is really just that green, and no, actually, I kind of like the color. On the left side is a hundred year old gospel church, and on the right is the house of someone who is a judge in California and only comes home 3 times a year or something. Jay says I can transplant the entire garden to another part of the lot, and fill that little box in with sunflowers. Woohoo.
While we're outside, here's the back yard:
Next year, I'm having a vegetable garden!
The view through the front door. Left to right: staircase leading up to master bedroom and library, staircase leading down to basement, door to dining room, support wall that helps hold up the house.
This is the front room from the other side. The door leads out to the front deck. The front deck feels bigger than our old apartment, even though it isn't.
My kitchen, small, but highly functional with very shiny appliances ( I have a dishwasher! and a two-level microwave! and an icemaker! and a flattop stove!) and a double sink. (And my honeybear sweetie ookums setting up the phone in the kitchen. And yes, this is partially revenge for him having put a picture of me up on the net and telling eight zillion people where it was without my having even seen the picture first. It's dumb revenge, but it's dumb of me to be goofy about pictures. So, it works out.) Oh, and that door to the left is for the pantry. I am very glad I have a pantry.
This is the ground floor bathroom. I will spare you the pictures of the other two, but I just wanted to point out that we do, in fact, have THREE bathrooms.
The dining room window. I really like having a dining room that opens out onto a deck. We leave the door open while we eat or pay bills, and the cat wanders out there at will.
The back porch itself. Besides cuddling the cat out there, it's good for sitting and reading, talking on the phone, and getting one's head shaved. Very Useful Indeed. I confess I kinda want to build a rope bridge across to that big tree.
These are the stairs to the top floor. Notice the light fixture? When it's turned on, it splashes a pretty star pattern on the wall, as though it were an old-fashioned street lamp. Makes me think of the Lantern Waste in Narnia. You're looking in the door toward the library.
The library has a very nice big window, good for gazing out of when one looks up from one's book. Once I take the other set of pictures, this room will look REALLY REALLY keen. I promise. Every day, I walk into the library, gaze around, sigh happily, and go back to what I was doing. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day.
This is the master bedroom. No rain ever comes in that window, even when it's storming, so we leave it open all the time. Birds perch in the tree outside in the morning. The ceiling is really really fricking high (about 14 feet at its apex) and I like to stare at the ceiling fan going around if I have stuff to think about.
Be it noted that I have a cave. This is the far end of the master bedroom. The cave extends, behind that wall, all the way across, and the entrance you're looking at is about 4 feet high. Once we get all the comic boxes back under the bed, I'm going to make a hideyhole in there, suitable for reading, napping, and sulking. It's a retiring room! And the dining room is really the morning room! Dude, I'm so retro.
Hopping down two floors, we have the entertainment room. We had people over on Sunday! To watch stuff! And there was room for everybody! And it was cooooooooooooooooool.
The basement also contains the computer room and the laundry room, but they're not very interesting, empty. Just boxy rooms with nice deep recessed window sills. So that's about it.
Have I mentioned that I mutter endearments to this house, when I'm alone in it? It's a bit spooky.

Date: 2003-08-27 05:26 pm (UTC)So, you don't post pictures of yourself? I realized I have no idea what you look like--other than one eye. Given that you own a house, I think I have to admit you exist, but still fuzzy on what that means.
Congrats and all! Looks very shiny.
