New photos!  Here is Indigo in the TV room, nothing new here other than Bobo and Indigo enjoying the summer sun:
Here is the upstairs guest bath all decorated:
Here's the master bedroom with its spring Quilt on and photos hung:
And here is the master bath room with photos and rugs and all.
Here is the guest room with photos up:
 The sitting nook downstairs:
Fireplace and book shelves, we have a fireplace screen and everything now:
Across from the fireplace is our couch and tables.
Here is the bath off the downstairs hallway:
Now onto the fun stuff!
Here is the new breakfast room set in the breakfast room off the kitchen:
Here is the dining room all emptied out waiting for the new set to come, soonish:
Here are the closet organization systems I made for Kathy and I:
 
 Here's the back yard as it stands now, we've just started planting as we added a new fence:
One deck is furnished: 
 One is still empty, we are thinking about a swinging seat for up on this deck:
Then the big item was, a new roof!  Here it is going on:
And here is the finished product:
 
 
 Goals for the rest of this year are just finish what we've started.  Finish the back yard plantings and furnish the decks, and furnish the dining room.  Front yard is waiting until next year, another big undertaking no doubt.

Started getting some rooms set up! 

Here is the master bedroom.



These are all the downstairs living room.
Here is the fireplace without anything in front of it.  Not sure what we will end up doing with it, maybe an insert - or maybe I become a fall lumberjack to get fuel for it.
 Here is the guest room.
 The T.V. room upstairs.
My Office.
Finally here is the kitchen with its fridge.

The breakfast room and its bay window ( no deer in this photo, usually they're abundant eating all our foliage)

The foyer.

On to the upstairs we go today:
 

Here is the master bedroom from two angles.  It is pretty big, with a master bath in it and two walk in closers.  Below is Kathys' walk in with a window in it.


  
Below is the master bathroom, shower is behind the door.
Here is the hall bath, shower and tub are to the right of this photo.
 Next we have Kathys' office:
And my office is next to it on the second level:
My office is full of dormers and weird angles, just like me.
Here is one of the guest rooms, this one is on the second level. If you head up another flight of steps you get to the third level..
  
This is where we will eventually have a guest room as well, for now it's just empty and angled.
So there is the whole interior.  We begin moving stuff today so we'll have images of stuff! soon.  Also fun things like blinds, bathroom fittings and more will be coming along shortly.

Here is our new (to us) colonial home.  We've always wanted a farmhouse style home, so this is very exciting.  We will be updating our blog often as we move in and get it ready!  Those trees laying in the yard are gone now, so we'll have plenty of new images coming up soon.

For today, here are a few images of the main level.  Above is our living room with its 7 foot fireplace and doors to the back deck.
Here is the half bath off of the living room.  We love the bead-board and having a window in the bathroom.
Here is the kitchen.  The sink is off to the left next to the dishwasher.  No fridge yet, that is coming soon.
Here is the other side of the kitchen with sinks, window to back yard, and door to garage visible.
Here is the breakfast room with a bay window.  We've always wanted a bay window and a breakfast room.  Two birds, one stone!
 Here is the formal dining room as best we can photograph it.  It is 11 by 11, but there seems to be no way to get it all in one image.  Oh well.  It has a chandelier and chair rail, just like the rest of the level, but the best part is the 6 foot windows looking out on the yard.
Finally here is the entry way and its steps and coat closet.  Real hard wood steps!

Hope you like it!  We'll have images of the second and third levels coming over the next couple of days.  Then, we'll work on moving in and furnishing the home.  Advice and thoughts on how we should furnish it are welcome in the comments.
