Another photo of the same house....

This is the front. The far two right windows are my bedroom, from the front of the house to the BACK! I plan to put our TV, vcr/dvd player, videos, dvd's and all, in my room. It is large, so it will be the place where the kids and I watch tv or watch movies if we do.

From my room, is a small space which is a step down, and it will have my computer, my exercise machine and then it goes to my bathroom. Double french doors lead out to the deck in the back.

On the left side of the house, is our living room, with a wood burning stove. Then to the back (middle left side windows) is our long dining room, with enough space for a very big and long table. Off of the dining room is Ravi's room and the second bathroom.

Further back is the kitchen. VERY large and spacious. I am so excited about this, even more so than my bedroom. The kitchen has "eat-in" possibilities. To the right of the kitchen is a pantry with the washer and dryer, and room for food storage. Through double doors, it goes further out to the deck out back.

Back to the kitchen, further back, is Lakshmi and Priya's room. It is wide (across the length of the house) and fairly narrow.

The attic is floored, and it could be a fourth bedroom one day, if I ever decided that I wanted to move up, or my parents wanted to move in.

Total square footage between the house and the shop; over 2500 square feet. Our old house was just over 1000. It was a very tiny house. This house is 1500 sf (still small) not including the attic space, which when done would be 2000 sf. This is very nice for a family of four. And if and when I am able to adopt again, then the attic space will become necessary! I guess in that case that Ravi would go up, and the girls would stay in their bedroom, and the newest child would get Ravi's room (which is small).
