Our house

Ok Monica. I am giving you what you asked for. Here are a few pics of our home addition. I am not a professiona photographer so some of them do not do all of Brett's hard work justice.
This is our eating area, but the table is just for looks. We usually just sit at the bar.
In case the vacuum marks weren't a dead give away, this is the front room.
This is the staircase that completely blew our budget. Originally we thought the staircase would be surrounded by walls, but with some alder and metal, a little re-engineering ($) some extra framing ($$) and a specialized carpenter ($$$) the center piece of our home was born. Both Brett and I think it was well worth it.

This is the girls stage. (No I do not dance/sing on it. Not even once. EVER. Ok just showtunes. The girls love to play primary on it. It's so cute to see them play opening exercises.

The entry way. I will post more pictures when I figure out what lighting I need. (not late afternoon)
