Bright, colorful home with lots of personality! This is our foyer.

Our living room: great for reading and drinking tea, playing our electric piano, or taking naps.

Living room opens into dining room for a wide, open feel on the first floor.

Dining room, where we try to eat dinner together most nights.

We have a large kitchen with two fridges, a 6-burner gas stove, and lots of cabinet space.

Kitchen, flip-side.

We also enjoy spending time relaxing on the front porch. Since the taking of this photo, we've acquired a set of wicker porch furniture for that purpose. Thank you, Goodwill!

Large backyard; so big we couldn't fit all of the rose bushes, small vegetable garden, or compost heap in the photo. Use your imagination!

Shared basement space: nice and cool in the summer, great for studying, napping, or watching movies!

The room has two windows that get great sunlight in the afternoon.
