The New House

That up there is the view from our first house's dining room!

Sometime around the post on our last apartment going up, we bought a house! No more moving! (Except, perhaps, in 5 years, depending on how things play out).




It is a time capsule from the late 1940s, with a healthy amount of wallpaper. Some is metallic wallpaper, which means it's so old it's coming back into style. Although, it's also so old that it's cracked, peeling, and desperately faded.












The house has tons of space (2000+ sq ft) and the most amazing view from the backyard. It also happens to be biking distance from my workplace. Which means that, aside from being a ton of work, it's absolutely fantastic.











Plenty of sunlight and space for a garden (which is now overgrown), and even well-established peonies in the front yard! The first time J mowed, it took 4.5 hours to trim the whole acre...
