Pictures!


Everyone loves pictures, right?!

This one is for my brother, Grant!
I have no idea what state we were in, maybe Georgia? and as you can see it was raining...
and I cut off the "e" in Grantville!


The historical marker for our housing area...

Old Hospital Compound
Formed in 1850


The front of Old Hospital Area
Talk about your "gated community" haha
The wall is rumored to have been built to keep out mosquitoes carrying malaria, but they know that can't be true since the wall was built WAY before they found out about malaria!
Still funny to think they thought mosquitoes wouldn't be able to fly high enough to get over the wall!


The steps up to the higher ground where we live...
If you look back up to the picture above, you can see the steps...


Inside the House!
(it's a start)
Our new Ikea TV stand, book cases, coffee table, and 2 end tables you can't see in this picture
Nolan put them together THE night we moved into the house! :-)
(this view is as you walk in the front door)
to the right...
couch and more windows!
front door and flag that we will soon put outside
(the bracket is too low right now)

Our Bedroom



starting on the right side of the room



our bed in the middle
the trunk I took to camp when I was a kid


to the left side of the room
(the door goes out to the enclosed porch that takes up 1/2 of the front of the house)
We made the enclosed porch area "the office"



more to the left side of the bedroom
(the door handle goes into our huge closet)

"the office" / enclosed porch
this was taken from the guest room's doorway out to the office
(it's a work in progress)

Our bathroom

More pictures soon! :-)

Isn't it so nice to get settled and to know you're staying a while??? I am beyond impressed that Nolan put all of that together the very day you got it from IKEA...I think I already told you that we needed several beers (or it might have been bottles of wine, I can't remember) to get through putting together our IKEA desk and 3 bookshelves, and even then there was talk of an annulment! ;) Just kidding...about the annulment...we really did drink quite a bit before the furniture was done!

It looks so great! I love older homes, especially ones with interesting history! I love all the windows, as well! Keep us updated with pictures!
