My New Home

Hi Everyone!

Michael here...ready to introduce you to the 1st 2 floors of our new home! We'll start the tour off with me sitting in our family room on our new rug. My Dad really likes that rug:

He says it really ties the room together. Mom and dad laugh a lot at that joke and I'm not sure why.

Anyways, when you first walk into the house, you see a little open foyer to the right where the stair case is. Straight in front of you is the family room.
That door on the right leads down to the basement...or man cave as my dad keeps calling it.

To the left of the doorway is our dining room. It is not as big as it looks in this picture:
Welcome to our kitchen. My mom keeps squealing about all the storage space and something about a built-in trash drawer REALLY gets her excited:
If I run from the kitchen into the family room, I would run into this mantle of our wood burning fireplace:
If I look out that window on the left side of the family room, I see this:
My mom says she likes the custom wood blinds. I just don't GET that woman sometimes.
I took this A-W-E-S-O-M-E picture when my mom gave me the camera:
Don't let her tell you that she helped me. I held that huge camera with the huge lens and the huge external flash all by myself.

So now, we enter - The Man Cave: That's my Dad to the left there. This is where we are going to watch loud movies and play lots of man games. Mom's not allowed down here because the walls are green. Dad couldn't stop staring at the recessed lighting and Mr. Bass, our realtor, kept telling us that each one was $125 if we put them in ourselves. I kept asking about when we were going to watch a movie down here.

Here's the other side of the basement. See the stairs to the left there? I almost fell down them once and there was no handrail to hold onto. Mom DID NOT LIKE THAT. Let's look out the window of the basement too while the grownups talk:

That's it for now. She forgot to take pictures of the 2nd floor. Maybe she'll do it after we move in? I think she was more worried about how the toilets were going to flush. We seem to need excellent suction in them from time to time.
