Melrose Place

There has been a lot going on lately!  Incidentally, I have gotten behind on writing about all of it it.  So here is the first overdue post, about our new house in Melrose.  It's not quite the way I want it to look yet, but I at least cleaned up a bit, so here are a few thousand words worth of photos:

kitchen/dining area-- featuring a great china cabinet I found on Craigslist!

upstairs bathroom-- as you can tell by the weird photo angles, it's very compact

Living area

Navy pride mantel!  

I did take pictures of our bedroom, but I think they got deleted accidentally, and there is a downstairs, but it is largely serving as a storage space right now, so... maybe there will be a part 2 of house pictures.  You can see what the place looks like with someone else's furniture here.

Some of the small spaces and lack of storage space have been frustrating, but overall we are happy with the place.  We are also learning to live without luxuries of an ice maker and garbage disposal, which my husband has done before, but I have not!  We surely have been spoiled in the past, especially in Charleston, where we payed a fraction of our current rent and had about 10 times the closet space.

here's that lovely back yard again:)
