Cribs

Welcome to the Ozarks edition of Cribs.

We had our final walkthrough today (in Arkansas, you must complete your final walk-through of the home a minimum of 5 business days prior to closing on a vacant home) and I had the opportunity to take a few more pictures. The house was very warm and bright as we walked through today. It was very inviting. As you'll see, we will need to do some painting and wall paper removal. I didn't get a picture of the polka-dots on Hayley's walls, or the sea-green mermaid bathroom, but you can imagine. I shouldn't poke fun; my mom let me paint a mural of a sleeping moon on my bedroom wall with glitter paints when I was in High School. (In retrospect, mom, this was unthinkably kind of you and I thank you for sacrificing the potential sale of your home in exchange for the expression of my creative inclinations. That said, we're going to make Hayley express herself on paper.)

So, with that, here is the grand crib tour (cue the 'Big Pimpin' music):



The family room. Built-ins for the TV and sunlight for Polski to roll around in.




Dining area and the front door. The picture doesn't show it, but the paint on the bottom is pretty close to mauve which is... er, not cool in person.



The small gathering room off the kitchen. And our Realtor, Mary Jane Jennings.




The kitchen which opens to the gathering room.




More of that.




Another shot of the main family room.




Blah, blah, blah.




This is Hayley's room. Polka-dots are to the right. And they broke her closet doors and replaced them with curtains. We'll have to get her some new doors.




Bedroom 2. It's green. Really, really green.




Bedroom 3. Those are curtains with football players on them. Could this be the "dShrine to Michigan" room?




Master bedroom.








Troy inspecting the yard. Take a good long look at those leaves, honey. In a week they'll be allllll yours.








Apparently I like the kitchen. Big windows in all rooms which I hope will keep our energy bill low.




Little window in the kitchen that serves as a pass-through to the dining room. It's the Lazy Susan of serving up a formal dinner.

That's a wrap. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

More after move-in.
