1 + 1 = 4: Our New Home, Part 1

As most of you know, we have moved! We sold our condo in the West Loop, our first home, and are once again renters. We have upgraded, though. We now reside in a 3 story townhome. Chris has done an incredible job making this rental a real home for our new family. He couldn't have gotten it started off right without the help of his father (the painter) and his mother (the scrubber), oh, and I helped a little too. So here are some pictures, the final product pics are coming...the camera on the battery died and we can't find the charger...ahh, moving...

The top picture shows our front "lawn", steps up to the front door, balcony, garage and patio. The is all pre-Farmer Jones. This picture shows the garage and front steps during farming...

This is now our front yard and entrance...Farmer Jones did an incredible job...

Coming up the steps into the front door. Balcony and sliding doors with our new kitchen table.

Table, chairs and bench, plus the penisula in the kitchen.

Kitchen and hanging pots.

The front room is to the right as you walk in the front door. Admire our beautiful new entertainment center, coffee table, end table and rug. For those of you who really know me, please be assured that Chris and I have bought all of this EXPENSIVE, new, gorgeous furniture without fighting and without me crying or throwing up!!! (hehe)

Behind the pictures is the woodburning fireplace. The stairs on the right go up to the bedrooms and the stairs on the left go down to the "man cave", laundry and patio.

This is the landing at the top of the stairs, the linen closet and the bathroom. The baby's room is just to the left of the bathroom and our bedroom is just to the left of that.
