a tour of our house.

this is us leaving Texas with all of our bags at the airport.

and now for a few pictures of our house when we first got here...

we had no furniture when we moved in, but have been able to get some really great pieces that we love.

when we got to the uk, simon's family had moved in a couch and a mattress for us to sleep on.  

we redesigned the couch a bit, so it looks a little more modern now than it did before.  (and it's a sofa bed for all of my lovely guests to sleep on when they come to visit!) 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

 (this is george.  he was a little scared of his new home at first.)

we got this really great tub chair from Interios.

we took a break from furniture hunting for a couple of weeks, but one weekend, we found a bed frame, desk for our nook, and a dining room table and chairs--all used but all really great quality and great prices.

(this is bert and ernie.)

now we're just looking for a chest of drawers and a nightstand for our bedroom (and possibly some outdoors furniture for our decking) and we will be set.

and that's the tour of our house mostly.  i'm saving the best part (aka the kitchen) for another post.  also there will be recipes.  and then you will understand why i am gaining weight.
