For my children: new stuff

My daughters have not yet seen my new floors, rugs, and kitchen. I'm making this post especially for them.
You will notice that the rugs all look kind of disheveled. They are not dirty, it's just the pile going in different directions.
They have a rather high pile and I have not vacuumed them yet, I'm waiting for my new vacuum to arrive. After that, they will look much better.
Remember, you can click on any of the pics below and see a larger version in all its glory, however be prepared for some load time as the originals are quite large.

This first pic is the den, complete with animals.







Pic #2 is the front foyer.









Pic #3 is the dining room.









Pic #4: living room, piano side of room.









Pic #5 is living room, furniture/seating side.



Living room seen from dining area.




Kitchen tile (bathroom is same tile as kitchen)






New cooktop and wall oven. Note the big blank space where the range hood should be. When the workmen opened the box, it had a large dent right in the front edge of the hood, so I had to re-order it from Sears (special order item, should arrive May 22). I was heartsick.
The oven is stainless steel on the door front, but it does not photograph well, so it looks kind of brown in this picture, but much much nicer in real life. The cabinet drawer is missing, because we have to cut off the drawer part and mount just the front of the drawer on the cabinet, due to the fact that the electrical cable on the new cooktop comes out of the bottom of the cooktop instead of the side (like the old one), so we are going to have to sacrifice that drawer for the cable. (it was worth it, I have scads of drawers in the kitchen)

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with me. I love the "animals" the most. I can tell that there is very much talent within your space. I believe that I forgot to recognize my "gratitude this moring with my job." And thanks for the scripture reading. it does work if we let it.
