We Moved . . .

True. We moved in June. But the exciting news is that our new house now has a new roof! You may notice in this first picture that you can't even see the beautiful new roof. That is correct. Despite not being able to enjoy staring at our new investment, we are happy that we'll be staying dry all winter (spring, summer, & fall ... this is Seattle) for at least the next 30 years. Besides the neighborhood, schools, and perfect location (15 minutes to downtown Seattle, 5 minutes to endless miles of hiking trails, and 45 minutes to a ski slope) I love, love, love the lot that this house is on. From every window it feels like we're in the forest.
It's a classic 1973 Split Level. Head down the stairs to find my 2nd favorite room in the house. Downstairs there's also a storage room, guest room, laundry room, and Danny & Kaylee's clubhouse (an under the stairs storage room we made into a playhouse). Head up the stairs from the front door to find the kitchen (pictures after I paint), office/playroom (great for stacking towers), & bedrooms. And my favorite room in the house.
There's definitely work to be done with the final decorating, but I just love, love the high wood ceilings and watching the seasons change through the big windows in this living room. And there you have it. Our brand new house. It's even better in person, so come on over. We love visitors!

Thanks for the eagerly anticipated blog on the new house. It was an adventure choosing it with you and it has been great to see you turn this house into our home.

So funkycool! All those beautiful windows and the wood ceiling make it seem like you're living in a seriously sweet tree house. (I've always been jealous of the Eewoks and Swiss Family Robinson!) :) Isn't it kind of refreshing to see something other than texas brick and siding?
