Our little bungalow

I bought the old stain-glass window at an antique store in Salt Lake City but it came from England. Enrique hung it in our window and it looks great!

This is the entrance to our house.



All the door knobs are antique. I love them.


Kitchen/Dinning room- eating area. I don't know what you would call this room but we eat here.

Our bedroom


My favorite part about our bathroom is the old antique crawl foot bathtub.





The is a picture of the room we painted. This is the "after" shot. I couldn't figure out how to post the before shots before the after shots.

So, we are still trying to get our house organized. And we are doing pretty good, everything is looking put together except for the one room chucked full of boxes. It is the room that I have been stashing all the boxes I don't know where to unload yet. Other than that, things are coming along fine. We love Iowa City. I have never walked so much in my life. We live walking distance from just about everything so instead of driving our not so eco-friendly, very loud sounding and about to die rodeo, we walk everywhere. Enrique says we are going green. Not necessarily because we are good earth loving people but because we are conserving the last few miles we have with Pepe (our rodeo).

I am posting some pictures of the house. The only change we have made is we painted a dark wood paneled room white. My mom said it was a shame to paint over history like that. The wood paneling was very old. I would normally agree about painted over history but the "history" had a cabin feel and it was to dark. Now instead of a cabin feel, the room feels like a white paneled beach room. I love it.
