Happy Birthday, Nadine!

Our (future) Living Quarters

This is our Dining/Livingroom. The Diningroom will be located at the far end of the room in this picture. You'll note the lovely wood wainscoting around the whole room - that will either be painted a light colour, or a dark brown (our professional painter advisor tells us that because the carpet is light and the top will be light, it won't make the room look darker or smaller. The top will be painted a cream with a brown tint. (As will the entry way on the right of the picture - that's real deal ugly wood paneling. Ick.)This is the livingroom end of the room. We're not sure if we'll be painting all the wood above the fireplace yet, or what colour it will be done if we do it.
Looking down the stairs into the rest of our living area. Straight ahead is our (small) bedroom. (And looking at Rachel. You can't see it very well, but she's got a very cute baby belly growing.)
Our tiny kitchen. There wasn't much use in turning around and taking another picture, because that's really all that's there. That's the kitchen. We think we're more than willing to give up cupboard space to put in a dishwasher, though - once there's dishes on the counter, there's no room to cook anything!
This is Brian's office / laundry room. I'm not exactly sure how he's going to make it all work, but I have faith in him.
