New house: main level

I will do three posts over the three levels of the house.  I don't have many pics of the basement.  A couple of reasons: it's depressing, not the way I want it, and most importantly my memory card is full and I need to burn a cd of the pics so I can start afresh.  I should take a photo of the outside, but right now it's raining.

I'm always complaining about our house--I know. It could really be a super nice house if you could sink a lot of money updating it.  Bathroom makeovers-new flooring in some areas and new trim, windows, and doors.  Nothing seems to be level--like our basement bathroom-you can't close the door--not a lot of privacy there.

The house is big--but split up very funny.  Lots of smallish rooms--not tiny rooms, but just awkward.  No celing fans--and get this--we have the original double paned windows.  We literally have two window--you have to open both to get the breeze in.  Strange!

Living room two above and bottom left--blogger is driving me crazy w/the formatting.  I don't think you can really tell--but the trim in our living room is painted the same color as the walls-green.  The doors are painted that color, too--back of the front door and the closet door.  All the rest of the trim in the house is white.  What were they thinking?

dining room above left--my favorite room we never use.  we walk in to get our wine glasses and alcohol.  scott also keeps all of his dress clothes in this room's closet b/c it's supposed to be a bedroom.

kitchen above.  this looks better in pics than it is.  this is my least favorite room.  we spend so much time in there, but can't figure out how to make it really work.  i keep moving my dishes around as well as anything else that's not bolted down. it also gets really hot and doesn't have enough lighting after the sun moves around.

It's pretty much wall to wall furniture in here, but it works. 

this is our main bathroom--also know as the "master" hah.  the blue is finally not alarming to me.  i don't love it, but i can live with it.  it's not just blue though--it's got a lot of rust and damage that can't be removed.
