Our new house

This is a video of what the house looked like when we bought it. We didn't take pictures so this video is the best we've got of a "before" shot. And admittedly the house probably looked better "before" than "after," but the woman was an interior designer and I am not. Enjoy the music!

I haven't gotten around to decorating most of the walls yet (and let's be honest, it may take a year or two), but I wanted to post some pictures anyway:
