Under The Texas Sun

We are here!!!  We arrived late Sunday afternoon after three long,

long days on the road.  Here is the new pad.  Come on in and

we will take a look around.  

Remember that pink foyer I showed you in a previous post?
Well, we are standing in that foyer now looking into the
formal living room.  The yellow walls will be going away
as will the carpet.

The moving truck does not arrive until Thursday,
so all we have in the house is seven pieces of furniture
and a big screen TV.

The living room has a nice fireplace and there are doorways into
both the family room and the formal dining room.

There are built in nooks and there are pocket doors between both the
living and dining room and the family and dining room.

I love this chandy.  It has a very vintage feel.

The hardwood floors are pretty too.

Here is the kitchen.  Expect to see a fair amount of tweaking here.
My Viking stove will be replacing the gas cook top and I have a
fluted farmhouse sink in the garage just waiting to replace the
stainless sink.

At the moment this is command central.  The previous

owners were kind enough to leave us a stool so we can

use the snack bar in the kitchen.  I can now blog on David's

laptop until my own mac arrives.

Bentley is curled up in a chair in the family room.  

Moving is exhausting!

This is David's idea of decorating the bookcase.  He was here for six

weeks on his own before we arrived so he has gone with the 

man cave style.  This of course will change a bit don't you know ;-)

Here is a view from the family room out onto the patio.

The backyard is lush and green and thankfully shaded by the
huge live oak trees which offer protection from the
Texas sun.

Here is Bentley surveying his property.

We never had much trouble with bugs in Idaho,
but here in Victoria we are using a lot of this!

I will be showing you more of the house in my
next post.  Until next time ...


Happily Joining ~
