Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

Sorry folks, I wanted to post these photos sooner. But my Nikon D80 camera, in a moment of what I can only assume was sheer despair and hopelessness, threw itself over the railing and landed on the stairs 10 feet below. I don't think the fact that I hadn't properly affixed it to the tripod had anything to do with it...and that's the story I'm sticking to! After digging through countless boxes, I managed to find an old Canon Powershot that served me pretty well.

We have officially been "in residence" (ha ha...doesn't that sound regal?) for 3 weeks. There are still some outstanding items (backsplashes, lights, some plumbing, tiling, and exterior locks and handles) but we are really really happy with the nearly finished product!

With more and more houses being built around us (we even have a basement already poured next door) it's becoming apparent that I *must* get blinds or curtains on my windows! I just can't bear the thought of drilling into the vinyl windows though...hmmm, that poses a bit of a problem.

Likely, the majority of the furniture you see will be replaced in the next year or so - once we've got an idea of exactly the purpose each room will serve for us. For nhow, we're just going to enjoy living here...and figure everything else out later :)
