my first house.

My parents and I spent all weekend getting my first house prepped, painted, and ready to go. It'll officially go on the market on Thursday- if you or anyone you know is moving to Chesapeake (VA), let me know! We'll get you/them in a fancypants little home!

The pathway up to the front door. Mom planted some marigolds and geraniums to spice things up a bit.

The front family room- the room adjacent is the living room/kitchen. Upstairs are the two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The view from the family room into the dining room. It has a working fireplace, along with an updated mantel area. Even a little bonus of a back porch/outdoor storage!

The view back into the kitchen.

The little, but uber-functional kitchen. Brand new stove, too! I'm sad to be leaving that behind... especially after the crappy college apartment stoves.

The first bedroom... this one is situated to be right above the family room, with a view to the front stoop. Great for spying on your visitors and/or throwing things at them. It has a walk-in closet and attached bathroom with shower.

(The second bedroom's bathroom.)

Master bedroom! From this window, you can see the YMCA... no excuse not to work out if you live in this house.

The master bath sink area. The nice thing about this is that the sink is in a completely separate room than the shower and toilet area... great for getting ready in the morning.

The master bath- brand new tile, plumbing, and seriously the best tub I've ever sat in before. In my life. And I'm not even kidding. Yet another think I'm going to miss about this house.

And here is the rear of the house with the little porch area.

Goodbye, house. Hello, happy new owner.
