Moving Into The Empty Farm House

I began by inspecting the recently vacated farm house. The tenants had left it clean and what few spots I did see, I cleaned. I vacuumed the bedroom carpet and then ran the rug shampooer over it. Then I grabbed my camera so that I could take you on a tour of the farm house. This is the big country kitchen. I was standing where the table would go and looking toward the appliances, cabinets and island with a sink in it. Outside the window you can see one of the apple trees:

I walked around the island to show you the stove, refrigerator and cabinets. At the end of that hallway are the washer and dryer:

I then walked from the kitchen toward the living room. I was standing in the kitchen when I took this, and looking through the hallway (with the steps to the upstairs bedroom on the right) and the living room straight ahead:

The livingroom, looking back the other way toward where I took the previous photo:

I walked up the stairs to my bedroom which has two giant walk-in closets plus shelves. Again, you can see some of the apple trees outside:

From my bedroom door you can see the stairway (behind that guardrail) and the doors to the other two, smaller bedrooms. The bathroom is on the left, in this photo behind my bedroom door:

A look at the bathroom. As you can see, it's lovely but doesn't have much storage space:

The old bathtub was left in place when we remodeled but ceramic tile was used to modernize and waterproof the walls. Yes, there's two cupboards there but they don't store nearly as much as you'd suppose. Two windows (on the left) look out over the county road toward my neighbors' farm:

One of the extra bedrooms:

The other extra bedroom. Neither of these has a closet and each is half the size of the master bedroom:

Once I'd gotten my bed moved from the apartment to my new bedroom, the dogs had to test it out. Winky, Wally and Madeline were terrified of the stairs, so I had to help them both up and down:

After everything was in place and night had fallen, I put some floor pillows down in the kitchen for the dogs. They rested while I did crossword puzzles at the table:
