She's in Like Flynn



Mom closed on the sale of her house and has finally moved in to the "Dog House". I took some pics so you guys could get to see how good it looks. But first take a look at how it looked when we were there...



This is the front drive-up, big appeal for her is there is no real lawn to mow. Of course she has some yard in the back, which she and her sister just got through pulling weeds and then she ran out and bought forty or fifty squares of St. Augustine, so I guess she'll be mowing after all.
This is the view from the front right angle. Note the two concrete statues of greyhounds out front, thus the name "The Dog House".



This is the side porch on the left side of the house. This entrance goes into the second living area.



View back toward the front of the house. When we lived here, the porch had no decorations, and was littered with scooters and shoes.






Front entry has vaulted ceilings, which she painted herself. This nifty new chandelier and had room for one of her biggest furniture pieces.



The front living area. (another one of my bad pics. I can't tell I've taken a fuzzy pic on the


3" x 2" screen on my digital camera.) This is the same room you saw at the top of the page with no furniture and a t.v. on a cardboard box.




View from that room into the eat-in kitchen.



More of the dining area.



To the right, the kitchen...





This is bedroom number one off of the dining area. It is the second largest bedroom, and each of the bedrooms has it's own full bath.







This is the second bedroom, off the central bathroom. Keep in mind she has painted each one of these rooms, this one she striped a pale blue and white.




This is the third of the bedrooms, across a hallway from the second bedroom.



Cute desk in the third bedroom.


The second living area, with the large french doors to the porch.




The room is large and bright with two skylights. It has really pretty dark stained concrete floors.




The Master bedroom, is huge!



The bedroom has a sitting area and a huge walk-in closet and a big Master Bathroom.
She loves the house and is excited about getting moved in. However if someone were to come along with 200 large, she might be persuaded to part with it.
