Photos of our new home...

I know it took forever, but I finally got some photos of our new house. It's a difficult task when you don't have a camera! My co-worker, Barbara, loaned me her camera to take some photos of our model homes, so while I had it I snapped a few of ours. :)

This is our living room. We wired above the fireplace for a flat screen tv, but we can't afford one. Actually, we've really enjoyed NOT having a tv in the living room.
I stood on the breakfast bar for this one.

Of course, we HAD to put the deer up. :) (That one is mine.)

Looking toward the kitchen/entry from the sliding door in the dining room - just to give a little perspective.

Our dining room with a loaner table. My boss didn't like this one in one of our model homes and was going to put it in storage. I commented that it would look great in my house! She offered to let us use it instead of putting it in storage - an arrangement that she insists is helping her out.
I think she's just nice. :)

The safari bathroom is back! Only this time it has Peruvian accents. On the far left you can see "Paiche Shells" hanging from the shower curtain. These are actually fish scales from a fish that lives in the Amazon. The shell on the left of the counter is a fossilized clam, also from the Amazon. I turned it into a soap dish. The wooden vase is called Firewood, and the painting in the mirror is a hand painted canvas. Jason brought all of this back from his trips to Peru.
All the safari decor was a gift from Sherry. Thanks Mom, it has served us well!

The master bedroom - not much in here yet but I'm going to have a "Tropical Paradise" theme. My mom bought me the plaque (above the window) that the idea is centered around - if you can't read it, it says "Paradise Found." The master bath is off limits because it's a MESS!! I didn't get pictures of our other 2 bedrooms. My step sister and her son stayed over so they occupied the guest room, and our other bedroom isn't much to look at. My plans is to turn it into a music room, but there are so many other things that take priority over that. So for now, it's an almost-empty room.
