Our house

We are still alive in Scotland, I've just been very busy unpacking our house and  attempting to adjust to life here!  Apologies for the lack of updates over the summer, I'll attempt to catch up!!

Well, here it is, our house...in a foreign land :)
Left side view.  The house is mostly a normal two-story, except the living room is over the garage and it's halfway between the two stories.

The entryway, with built-in door mat.  There are two doors to help keep most of the warmth inside.  Also, the little slot in the door is our "mailbox."

View from inside front door


The dining room...not so much lived in.

My favorite room...my crafting room!  Not big, but it has a door and the kids have to ask to come in.
Another view, looking into the hallway.  We had to move the "closet" aka wardrobe from one guest room to here, for our a coat closet.

The Toilet (what British people call the bathroom.)

The playroom, where the toys are supposed to stay, but rarely do!
Another view

Backyard view from out playroom door, looking down towards door to garage and lower patio
View straight out.

Wonderful view of the backyard from the kitchen sink, where I spend way too much time!

Hip hip hooray for a separate washer AND dryer!!

Up half flight of stairs to living room, down half flight to garage with our one storage closet under the stairs.

Living room, looking straight inside from door.

View from living room, up to bedrooms, down to main floor.



Master bedroom
All our furniture barely fits!

Don't blink or you might miss our en suite bathroom (the door to the left of the laundry hamper above...sure do miss our laundry chute!)
Probably the same size as a bathroom in a nice RV!

The kids are doing great sharing a room!
Guest room/office (the "closet" from this room was moved to the craft room).

Family bathroom with a wonderful deep bathtub.  The kids had some problems getting used to the toilets that were much larger as well as buttons to flush (and the choices of flushes!)


View from family bathroom looking down towards living room.  Rooms from left to right: master, guest room/office, hot water tank closet, stairs, kids room, guest room #2 (door closed because it's a complete disaster!!).
