House Hunters: D.C. edition

So I wrote this post over a week ago, but hadn't finished posting the vacation pics and I have a thing about chronology. There have been a few improvements since the last post including a veggie and wildflower garden planted out back (thanks to a call from our neighbor asking if he could help us weed our backyard...and also thanks to Johnny's Selected Seeds, helping families, friends, and communities to feed one another by providing superior seeds, tools, information, and service since 1973). I like Johnny's. But more on that some other time.

Let me not delay this post any longer. Here is the tour of our new place.

The front. It did not come landscaped so we have had fun playing in the dirt.

As you enter, you turn to the right and this is what you see...

Kitchen (duh)

The front windows. Great for light. Not great for late night snackin.'

To the left, to the left...

As you walk into the dining room, be careful not to bump your leg on the desk. Space is limited here, folks. Gotta use what ya' got.

Dining room, hideous chandelier that isn't mine really anyway.

Kid's half of the living room (behind the sofa)

Our half which has quickly become the kids' other half.

Our new craigslist TV. Low profile, crisp picture Samsung 26" HDTV for $100. Let me know if it looks like the one you had stolen and we can work out a deal.

Now rewind: As you step in the front door, go up the stairs.

 

Our Room. The rest of the bed linens were packed in a box marked for storage. Oops.

Big Boy's Room

  

Baby Girl's Room

it's really tight in here...we are talkin' something like 7x10 at best.

Pinterest letters made by yours truly.

Crib skirt I accomplished while nesting.

Also a result of nesting.

Nathan's favorite room in the house: his basement playroom.

 

Laundry room with a DIAPER SINK!!

  

The "backyard" has been weeded since taking these pictures. Like my other craigslist buy? The $300 Bob Duallie! I am a mess when it comes to strollers right now. Perhaps we will need a posting all about the thousands you can spend on strollers for two, the good the bad and the ugly. Also, the diapers are back inside and on MR's bum. 

So that's that! Worth every penny? With a pool less than a block away, 4 neighborhood playgrounds and a golf course, putt putt course and AMAZING trail less than 1/2 mile away, I would say so.
