A Place for Us

We are homeowners! We closed on October 30 on a beautiful, two-story, five-bedroom, two-bathroom house near Atlantic City. The house is everything we wanted - we've got a yard and a porch and a fireplace and a kitchen with a double sink and disposal. (We don't ask for too much, do we?)

The only thing we aren't crazy about are the property taxes in the city where we live and the high school is crummy. But we are good for at least 13 years. And maybe they'll change the high school by then.

Here's a quick tour of the house...enjoy!

It was built somewhere between 1890-1930. This is the front. (Notice all of the bags of leaves that F gathered today!)


The kitchen, clean and almost organized.

The living room (looking toward the dining room)...we love the wood floors!

The dining room, looking toward the living room (with a fireplace!).

The library/office has built-in bookshelves and a reading nook.

Our bedroom is in dire need of a paint job. And a closet.

N's bedroom has purple walls and built-in shelves.

The view from the back - our porch.
