photos of the house

Since a friend asked, I dug around on the hard drive and found some pictures of the house. Of course they were taken before we moved in. I guess that means you don't get subjected to looking at all our junk in said house.


view to the east - looking out the front door

view to the north from the front yard

The mountain is part of the Red Cliffs Desert Preserve. There's a trail at the end of our street that heads up there. The view from the top is pretty amazing.

living room

still the living room

den

Those built-ins are really nice. But, no, I did not get to comandeer them for my scrap space.


breakfast area

The fireplace is a double-sided fireplace, same one as in living room.

kitchen

kitchen again

laundry

The ceilings in here goes waaay up. So we use the shelves on the right & on top of the cabinets on the left as our substitute attic.

master bedroom

It has 2 "sections" of ceiling that sort of divide it up into a bedroom area and a sitting area. We have a couch up against the big window & a desk against the left wall of the sitting area. Our bed is under the ceiling fan & dressers are in that area of the room.

master bath

Note the slightly weird kokopeli/southwest/bear/whatever motif in the bath tile -- it is also in the shower and on the wallpaper in the stall. Niiice.

master bath still

patio

It has a nice covered area where we have wicker furniture & an outdoor dining table. We spend lots of time out there in the evenings. There is more patio all along the length of the house, uncovered.


view from the backyard facing west

Sorry about the weird lines. I had to do a composite of several images to get the whole view in there. I took this on a day when there was snow on the Beaver Dam mountains. It really is an amazing view and since it's west-facing, we get a great sunset every night.

Hey I think that was me!! I love it, WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO VISIT. Sorry, my cap lock got stuck but I decided the emphasis was appropriate. I love the "special tile." It's actually pretty cool and it's not like it's in your Boston Brahmin bathroom, right? Apropos. It's also very decor neutral except for those tiles, so that is cool. You won't feel like you have to repaint the place to get rid of the former owners' decor ghosts.

Yay! Thanks for putting those up. Happy.
