Old house...

Okay, I finally decided what to DO with this "newer, cooler, happier" blog. I think I wanna chronicle the whole upgrade from white trash to just plain white.

This is the tiny house in NYC that we live in now. It's like...unspeakably small considering how many living beings we've crammed into it. We've got me, the husband, the girl and the new small boy. Then we've dogs (3) and cats (3). We also have two birds but I've exiled them to the vacant rental apartment upstairs until it is rented. The girl has a fish...the fish does not bother me.

The living room...


The husband built the fireplace himself, and layed that granite tile, too. It had the potential to be really nice but since we own cheap furniture and have to COVER the couch because of the furry inhabitants (observe ancient orange cat in photos above)...well...this is it people.

On to the kitchen...

Husband also renovated this kitchen, top to bottom, on his own. I picked out the cabinets and granite...however...I didn't really take into account the lack of lighting and I wound up with a seriously dark kitchen. Mistake. Again, nice for a normal sized family but what is missing in these photos are the fur tumbleweeds that accrue throughout the day thanks to some kind of husky mix and two shepherds.

The bathroom...



Clearly, unfinished. Ask me when we started this renovation. Go on...ask. 2011. Like, September of 2011. It will get finished but probably right on schedule with the timing of our move. Meaning, I will never experience this bathroom in its completion. The tub with the jets though? That was just for me. Totally worth it.

The bedrooms will be another post since the girl is sleeping in one and the small boy in another. Over and out.
