The basement


On Saturday, Nick emptied the rest of our storage unit.  While he was making a second trip, I was madly arranging books in the basement shelves.  So thankful for these built-ins!  We got rid of our one and only bookshelf prior to putting the house on the market.  These built-ins are totally saving the day.  Now we aren't under any pressure to buy bookshelves.  The three shelves farthest to the right in this picture are full of kids books!  Who know we had so many!


The previous owners built a playhouse under the stairs!



Another view of the built-ins.  The double-doors lead to the utility area.

Yes. This house was made for kids! The owners were very happy to see a family move in. The 9 year old twins asked if they could come back and visit sometime:-)

It will be fun to have family over for Christmas.

Hehe:-) We put our house on the market in April. We accepted an offer on our way back from Wendy's Wedding. Moved at the beginning of August. It's been a little bit of a whilwind.
