The picture below is the dining room area. This room is connected to the kitchen by a small doorway on the right. This picture was taken from the living room. That door wall goes out to the upper deck area where there is built in bar-b-que.
If you entered the house and walked straight in you would be in the living room. We are just having the hard wood floors put in the living and dining area. We can put our furniture back this weekend. They will do the library and computer rooms next.
Back by the front door area, if you were to walk in the house and turn left you would have the stairs to go either up or down. This area was an informal dining area but we have eliminated it and made it part of the kitchen. Chester put a wall up to divide it from the kitchen area. The carpet has been removed from the stairs and they wood also. When we add on the master suite the stairs will be replaced with new ones that match the hard wood floors.
If you went up you would be in the bedrooms. There wasn't much to see up there and the camera didn't get good shots so I didn't include those pictures. There is 3 bedrooms up there and 2 baths. One bath & bedroom are the master suite and has a walk in closet. We are planning on adding a new master bedroom suite over the kitchen and dining are in the future. The layout isn't just right and we need more room!!!
If you went down the stair you would be in what we like to call the library. The door wall to the right of the fireplace goes out to the brick patio and to the hot tub. There are stair to the upper deck area too.
This book case is directly across from the fireplace.
These rooms from left to right are the laundry, computer room & 1/2 bath.
There is another set of stairs that goes down to the left of the laundry room. This is the basement which has lots of closets. We have a new pool table down there now and are planning on getting it painted soon so we can hang pictures. We had a small flood so some of the walls have been removed and the carpet is being replaced soon. We are deciding if we want carpet or tile. We may go with ceramic tile.
The wall with the TV has been moved to make that closet smaller. The seat in the above picture and the closet to the far right in the picture below are now gone.
We have also put a new brick patio outside for the hot tub to sit on. It looks very nice and I will try to get pictures of that soon too. It was wood and not quite big enough. We had pine trees put in around the property so that we can have some privacy. The flower bed was full of juniper bushes and I had them replaced with rose bushes. I always wanted a rose garden. I love it!!!!! I will take more pictures and get them loaded soon.
