A tour of our home...

Okay, well it's really a mini-tour. Anyone who has been here knows that this house goes on forever, which we love...but it also means the 60's decor also goes on FOREVER! We're really excited to make changes here over the years. But for now...our backyard looked so beautiful this morning, so I had to capture it.This is our dining room. The kitchen is on the other side of the cabinet, and we hope to knock down that wall to open things up a bit. We never use this room because it is kinda tucked away.
One of the bedrooms upstairs. The view from this room of the skyline and Seattle is beautiful, especially at night!
This is my office/craft room. Mark's office is downstairs and although it does have a great bay window that looks out onto the backyard, I think I got the better end of the deal, because this room has a deck off of it, and a gorgeous view!

This is the upstairs landing. I love this. It's so open and it makes it easy for Mark and I to yell at each other if we're on different floors and need something :)

This is the half of the living room that we use all the time. The other side houses the piano and a fireplace. I just love the big windows this room has. We hardly ever have to turn on lights in our house because there are so many windows- compared to the FOUR windows in our old condo!
This is Mark's office, and the source of much annoyance since we moved in. We finally bought a filing cabinet and I reached my goal of organizing this room (somewhat, anyway) which was something I was supposed to accomplish over Xmas break....oh well, it finally got done!
This is one of my favorite rooms. The beds are from Mark's grandma and really are cute in this room. The pitcher and bowl set is something we got as a wedding present from family in Italy. I always loved it, but never had a place for it in our tiny condo. Don't you love the carpet? All the carpet in this house is hidious and we hope to change it very soon! For now, we live with it and enjoy the space that we have.
