We're in!!!!


It's been six weeks now since we moved, which has given me time to unpack most of the boxes and get quite a few of the pictures up.  I am so happy with the house and even though there is still a ton of things to do (curtains, more furniture, cover existing furniture, buy rugs etc., not to mention the garden!), we are loving being in and feel very settled already.
I am going to give you a guided tour of the house, room by room.

Welcome to our home.....
 
 The entrance hall:
 
The formal lounge & dining room:


 
The TV room/kitchen: 
  
The Games room:  
 
Tradesman's entrance -the passage from the garage toward the kitchen/games room 
 
The stairwell - a source of pride.  Hand crafted by a friend of ours who is a master carpenter (& a German, so it is VERY well made!)
  
The Pyjama lounge - couches still on order!
 
 The Guest bedroom:

 Megan's bedroom: 
 
 
Ali's bedroom:

 Main bedroom:

Carl's study - well used.  In fact, the only room in the house which has earned its keep so far (except maybe the kitchen!!).
 
The loft room - still unclaimed, but full great for storage!

The view from the garden, which ironically, hardly anyone sees!!
 
From the patio to the garden:

 The bottom section of garden with newly laid grass:
 
Our baby - a giant eating, drinking, pooing, chewing, biting, barking pain in the butt whom we all adore!!!
