house!

Well, there she is.  Our new house.  I know I’ve promised pictures for a while now and we’ve been in it for over a month.  Basically I figured it was about time I got some pictures up.  So here’s your virtual tour of our house.

When you come in the front door you’ll see something along the lines of this:

house! 014 house! 013

And here’s a view of the front door itself:

house! 015

You may notice that I haven’t shown you what is directly to your right when you walk in the front door.  That’s because that room is not finished yet.  It’s the “formal living room” and right now has pretty much nothing in it but a piano bench and a guitar.  Very exciting stuff.  Once we get my piano from my parents, that will be in this room and I’ll take some pictures and post them…probably about 6 months after we get the piano.  :)

OK, next to the formal living room is the dining room which you may have noticed in one of the pictures above.  Here’s a closer look:

house! 012

Currently we are using my parents’ old dining room set, which I think is at least 20 years old.  We’re hoping to replace this before too long, but this is definitely better than nothing and has already served us very well.

From the dining room you move into the kitchen:

house! 016 house! 017

You might note the sad excuse for a dishwasher in the second picture with the front panel missing.  I’m very happy to inform you that we have replaced that with a brand new dishwasher that is awesome.  Also, I didn’t include a picture of our massive pantry, and by massive I mean it could be a fourth bedroom.  It’s completely awesome, but I didn’t think everyone would want to see a picture of our groceries.  Another thing I left out of the pictures is our “Harry Potter closet.”  I call it that because it’s the closet under the stairs and that’s where Harry Potter lived with his aunt and uncle.  Anyway, it’s just a closet and it’s kind of a mess, so no picture…Sorry.

From the kitchen we move into the breakfast room and living room.  Those rooms look something like this:

house! 019 house! 020 house! 023 house! 025

These rooms have become quite a bit more disarrayed and cluttered since the newest addition to the Pollard household, our new puppy Ender (a couple of pics later in the post).  That’s pretty much all of the downstairs except the half bathroom and the coat closet, again nothing special so no pics.

Now if we head upstairs the first thing you walk in to is the game room:

house! 009 house! 011

This area is not exactly finished, but it’s one of my favorite places in the whole house.  The other rooms upstairs are the office, the guest bedroom and the master bedroom.  Unfortunately I don’t have pics of the office right now since it was still a disaster when I was taking pictures to post three weeks ago.  So let’s move into the guest bedroom:

house! 007 house! 008

And finally here are pictures of the master bedroom:

house! 001 house! 003 house! 004 house! 005

So there’s all the pictures I have of the house right now.  None of them do the house justice.  To get the full effect, you really just need to come visit us.  Plus if you come visit us you get to meet our new puppy, Ender.

Ender is a Maltipoo, a mix between a Maltese and a Poodle.  He is 8 weeks old today, we got him last Friday when he was 7 weeks old.  He weighs 1lb 14oz, or at least he did on Tuesday when we went to the vet…for the second time in two days.  The poor little guy got a cough on Monday night.  We have him on some medicine and he’s getting better.

Well, I think that’s all the interesting stuff I have to say, so I hope you enjoyed it.
