Who’s House? Yano’s House!
My apologies if you don’t get the song reference in the subject line of this post.
Anyway, I think I promised you all (about a million months ago) pictures of my new place. I think there have been glimpses of it in various posts, but here are some pictures that I had taken last October after we had gotten the furniture in. I’ve got a backlog of pics to post (Alaska, Philly, Wrigley Field), so I’m starting off with these!
The upstairs living room. All the couches recline and it’s made of a fabric that is resistant to the constant licking and digging of my dad’s dog. Ten points if you figure out what show is on the TV in this picture.
My kitchen. Stainless steel stove, fridge and microwave. I was thinking that this place would never be used but I’m in it quite often. Who’d have thought? I have become a domestic goddess! Wait, does hamburger helper count towards being a culinary master?
The guest room, which is also called ‘the blue room’ or ‘the hippo room’, where I house my collection of hippos. Currently the windows have paper blinds on them. We may just keep it that way, because we’re cheap like that.
The office. Even though there’s a computer in there, it’s about 5 years old and on its last legs, so I never use it, except to store my digital pictures on it. Dave spends his non-Sports Center time here studying medical mumbo jumbo.
This is where the magic happens, people! This sturdy king sized bed fits four people comfortably (as we tested during our Christmas sleepover) and the people who moved out left us the curtains.
What I don’t have pictured is the basement living room (which just has an old futon and stereo speakers right now), the wet bar (we’ve emptied the keg and need to get a new one), the fish tank (but you’ve already seen the fishies, right?) and the pool table. But I think there’s pics of that somewhere - probably Halloween. There are exterior shots of the house there, too.
The show is Surreal Life 3.
wow that’s a mighty nice house
beautiful home
You’ve taken a house and made it a home. It’s beautiful Christine!
If that is a sleigh bed I’m so jealous.
Sweet! It looks great. I’m jealous as well.
Hey, do you still have the hippo backpack from the zoo? Just wondering.
I love your house. It has a very peaceful look about it, and it also looks warm and cozy. Just like you.
I also love the outside. It reminds me of all the house exteriors on the sitcoms when I was a kid. I always wanted a house like that.
We have the same TV in our living room,, It’ was an absolute must when we bought our house.
Your place looks awesome!…. and I appreciate the Run DMC!
It’s Surreal Life 3 - Ryan Starr hehehe!!!!
Thanks everyone!
Melinda - Yes, I still have it. I’ve worn it several times!
Denizzy - yeah, right out of something like ‘The Brady Bunch’!
Tara - We actually bought the TV before anything else!
Jerry - You win the prize for getting the subject reference!
Marky and Avid Reader - you are correct. Not that I ever watched the show….*cough* *cough*
Thanks for taking us on a tour of your crib.
It’s so clean! How do you do it?
your home is very simple and nice
Now I’m even more excited about my trip!
Nice house. It seems very roomy! I recognized Ryan Starr and knew it was the Surreal Life. That was the only season I saw ’cause Jordan Knight was on that one. New Kids rule!!!! Well, at least they did back in the day good ‘ole days.
“You got the right stuff, Baby, you’re the reason why I sing this song.” I still love ‘em.
you’ve got a lovely house yano! oh and loook at your spotless kitchen…so clean
