A few select pics

I know this is going to make all of you want to run over to visit, but you're just going to have to be patient. ;) As promised, I have (finally!) managed to get a few pics of the new house on here. All of these pics were taken the weekend after we closed, so a few things have already changed.

This is the house. It is actually two stories, both with ten-foot ceilings, but it looks like a midget in between the two giants next door. Both of those are vacant, by the way, so you might be looking at our next projects.

The infamous wall of mirrors. When we bought this house I thought we had managed to get into our first house ever without any pink--not so. This "hole" was covered by a very large mirror when we viewed the house. Basically we have a 10' x 15' wall of 12" x 12" mirrors, minus a few in the middle.
The ever-appealing faux wood beams. Seriously, they're U-shaped pieces of styrofoam glued to the ceiling. This is the living room ceiling, minus the two beams Mark already pulled off. We have these attractive beams in the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

You're now viewing two of my favorite pieces in the house...the chandelier in the dining room and an example of our windows. If I had to guess, the windows are original and they are beautiful! Well, they will be once we get them refinished. They have the old chain and weights down the sides and they are between 7' and 8' tall. I cleaned up the chandelier and it is now so sparkly. I love it! To be continued...
