Our House

I know you have all been waiting to see our house so here it is. There are a lot of pictures but I won't add them all. I just want you to see the basics.

the patio

small stove top - cannot cook with 2 large pans at once.

this is my tiny sink - the small saucepan is in there to give you an idea of the size. If you notice the picture above that has a plastic bowl on the stove that is where we actually wash the dishes and then rinse in the sink. There is just not enough room in that little sink to wash. where we wash dishes
corner of il salotto (living rm)
entrance to il salotto
the stairs up to the bedrooms and down to the taverna
one bathroom outside of our bedroom - James' bathroom, around the corner to the right is the shower.
the hallway between the bathrooms
camera da letto (our master bedroom)not a large room but since we only sleep in there it is okay.
il bagno di donna (lady's bathroom) right beside James' bathroom. Since the house has 4 bathrooms I claimed this one as a "boy free zone"
yes, this is a really long and big room. Largest bathroom I have ever had.


up the stairs yet again you come to my craft area - Yippee, nice sized area for me to play in...


this is the view of the craft area from the computer area - it is to the left of the entrance to that floor and right next to the stairs for the boys room. You can see in the back corner another door - that is a long storage room under the eaves of the house. There is another one on the computer area side of the room.
this is the computer area which is to the right when you come up the stairs
the boys even have their own very large bathroom - shower is to the right

the stairs into the mansarda (the attic) which is a HUGE room the boys share

This is the back of their bedroom.

the largest bathroom in the house is in the area that leads to either the taverna on the left or the garage on the right. It has the largest shower too.
