Mi casa es su casa!

We made the final push this weekend and got ourselves moved out of the garden suite of the Micheltorena place. Goodbye to the pool and hottub, hello to our new dog!! For now I wanted to post a few pics of the new place for yall to see. Keep in mind they're night shots with a hand held point and shoot. We will get some better ones up after I cut down on some of the cardboard in here at the moment.

Here is the front entrance to the place- you can see through the living room to the patio outside and into the side yard - you cant see it now, but that will be our garden soon enough!
Living room- gas fireplace, the area in the middle is the patio door and the sunroom area that has floor to ceiling windows. I will probably set up my desk in this area and we will hang some blinds. The dining nook is to the left and leads to the kitchen.
Office area.
Living room from the office area looking back out the front door. Large picture window to the left, the bedroom is through the doorway to the right and the bathroom is just out of frame.
The kitchen is probably the same floor space, but a huge amount of counter space in comparison our other place. More than enough storage for all our goodies, with glass panel doors for all the C&B dishes on the left side, and pantry space on both sides. I approve of the use of space in this kitchen - well done!
Our new best friend!

All new appliances, built in microwave saving us tons of counter space- the stainless matches all my coffee machines and toaster, etc. Worked out well! The stove is CLEAN!
We plan to add our nice curvy shower head that reaches tall enough for me, and also probably get another hotel shower bar for this place if they want to keep ours at the old place - maybe negotiate a little deposit increase for leaving our ceiling fans and microwave too...
Corner of the bedroom - two exterior windows that back up to trees. Nice light in the mornings we found - stays nice and cool in this place too because of the shade. Brrrr for Katie, awesome for me hehe!!
The only closet space in the bedroom, I already took the doors off and stored them in the garage so we will come up with something creative to cover up all the clothes - It looks like we should have room for both our clothes side by side, and we got a new dresser too so keep an eye out for the new IKEA goodies once they're assembled!
