For those already planning a visit, those who don't know yet that they're planning a visit, and those who may never visit (and to those people: we need to talk!), here's a walk-through of our new digs. Please note we are quite obviously lacking on floor coverings and wall hangings, the railing needs to be anchored, some painting needs to be done, etc. ... but gimme a break -- we've only been here for 10 days! :o)
So here we go. Rolling up to 9671 Lafayette Street:
Walking in the front door. This room will eventually have a sofa and an area rug, at the very least, but in the meantime it's kinda Shae's gear's storage room:
Dining area. As soon as we come into a little cash (hahahahaha), this table will be replaced. We also have an area rug that just needs to be cleaned and then it will be hanging out under the table. (Getting filthy, of course.)
Kitchen. Not much to do or say about the kitchen... I love it!
From the kitchen to the family room. An area rug for that room is near the top of the list of "need to buy" items. And something on the walls -- it's rather sterile! And very echoey.
From left to right: stairs (duh), basement, coat closet, laundry room, half-bath.
Going upstairs...
Still going upstairs...
Master bedroom. Jody hates (or at least hated) the wall color in here, so painting may or may not be forthcoming.
Master bathroom. The previous owner started a project of laying slate on the floor and around the tub; he got about 85% finished before he ditched the house. It is undetermined at this time wether the current slate will stay or go -- but one way or another it is incomplete, so something will happen sooner than later.
Upstairs hallway. (This is a very thorough tour, people!)
Shae's room. When we moved in, the window wall and the wall opposite it (where I'm standing) were painted black; the opposite walls were painted red. Her room was our first priority to fully move into and make as "homey" as possible. It's 95% there.

Guest bedroom. HINT HINT.
Upstairs/Shae's/guest bathroom.
Back deck. We'll need to get a new patio set to properly suit the area, and Jody's forthcoming hot tub will be found just off-camera to the left, but I already love this spot!
Additional back yard.
Okay, so it's not an entirely thorough tour in that you haven't seen the basement (use your imagination -- it's a basement, although it is a finished basement...), the laundry room (also not that hard to picture -- I love my fancy new washer and dryer, though! I should have shot photos of those!) or the garage (which Jody may deem as divorce-worthy). But you get the idea.
