home at last

Well, it only took a year and three months, but we finally got Laveta all fixed up and our retaining wall built.  Inspired by recent protest movements, we decided to rally together and occupy this house.

In about a year, those little ficus plants will hopefully have grown out to cover the side of the stairs.  And those succulents will look a bit more serious.  But hey, ya gotta start somewhere.  Wanna come in and see the rest?  Here's our mailbox...

 
Where mail goes through, despite sleet, snow or dark of night.  Here's our newly planted row of succulents...

The front porch.  Upon approach you will be woofed at by our vigilant guard choodle.  That usually means you're OK.

Our old furniture in its fabulous new setting!

Daniel's all-grown-up, adult-style record zone, for genteel music appreciation.

Our not entirely kitsch-free kitchen...

The laundry room, where Sarah's dreams of not hauling laundry to the laundromat anymore come true!

My, how genteel our new bedroom setup looks.  Get a load of all that gentility.

Walk right in to our walk-in closet...

Our taxidermied woodchuck pursues our taxidermied pheasant over the shelves of the library, which is also the Wylma room.

So come up and see us sometime, maybe sit a spell!
