Our House

Front of the house....

Back deck the door goes right into our room...
Living room, it is a big L so this is only part of it...

So this is my house. It is very different then back in the states. It has concrete walls, no closets, and all the windows open completely (since there is no ac)... no screens! I really don't like flys!!! And well we live in the country in the farmlands and well they use natural fertilizer so there are lots of flys! So gross!! Anyway I digress, they are heated with wall radiators and use oil. I always tell mom that her house is so cold well I can tell you that this house so much colder! And since it cost a pretty penny to buy the oil we are trying to be conservative! It is much better now since spring has finally arrived! Anyhow it is a 300+ year old house that has just been re-done. It has 3 well 4 floors if you incluse the creepy cellar and attic. The attic is great, huge big room tons of storage.. could easily be used for a game room or something just don't let your mind wander!!! I haven't seen to many scary movies but I sware they could film one up there! The bathrooms are awesome! I think it is something they really take pride in! I know that sounds silly but they are really nice. And they really like the color orange! It is everywhere! We got lucky with this house and we only have one orange room! It is a muted tangerine! Not my favorite. The kitchen is pretty small but all new! It has the super tiny european frig. no freezer. But the base provides all the big appliances so we have a good ole Whirlpool frig upstairs!

Pardon the mess, we had just gotten our stuff in the day before...

The backyard is wonderful. We have an office not just a room to use as the office but actual built in office.Which is now half office half craft room! I love having my own space to be creative! Our landlord is a painter and carpenter he has done an amazing job. The houses here are laid out much differently and there are lots of doors! Anyway they have the cute little flower boxes for the window sills. I really like it! And we are so happy with our house! Our landlord speaks no English so that is tough but we are learning more and more German everyday!
