For Mom

Mom, here's the interior of our house. Dad, the kids would not cooperate, so there are only a couple of shots with "kids placed strategically," is how you worded it, I think. Our house is smaller than our old one in the woods. This house is more cheerful and full of light, though. The main areas have this golden yellow paint.

Dining room, which doubles as our school room. The chain on the window is one Luci is making--one link for each day until John gets home. Then we can decorate with it. Luci's pretty excited about it and was very surprised that it has already reached the floor once.


Entry, looking from the front door to the living room/den. It's an open floor plan and a small house, so you can see almost everything from this room. Most of the school books we will use this year are in those cabinets Luci is facing. The ceilings are ten feet high, except in the living room where they go up to twelve feet. That high ceiling makes the house feel not so small. They are ten feet high throughout the house.

Computer area. I'm glad I asked for this to be built-in. It is such a handy place.

Big, built-in pantry.
