If you aren't tired of the stained glass, here's a better picture of the large, tall one that Jared took.  

I promised I'd lighten up a picture of the stained glass detailing on the front door. There are four identical circles. The center looks white unless light shines through it, and then it looks goldish.  

Picture this...

Finally! Now you can visualize our project!

Thanks to dad's camera, Jared's memory card, and my great photography skills (*cough*) you, too, can experience the wonder.

I took these today after my graduation party. Today Jacob, Jared, Erica B, Mark, Jed, and Matt got to see the house for the first time. It went over really well.

Some things I forgot to mention in the last post, some of which you can see in the pictures:
*Fireplaces. Two of them. Neither function. One on the ground floor, one on the first floor.
*Some closets open with skeleton keys. Soooo cute.
*Attic Right (the attic room on the right side of the stairs) has a tiny, tiny closet.
*There is a window from the kitchen into the ground floor bathroom. What? (Actual explanation: the bathroom was an addition. The window in the kitchen originally looked outside. Or so they assure us.)
*No ghosts as of yet. We cheerily anticipate them. Dad was going to sleep in the house overnight but something came up.
*I spelled "Raglan" wrong. Shiiiit. Oh well. I'm keeping everything how it is, damnit. They can change the street sign.
*Dad has some old pictures of the house, from when it was still new. There used to be a huge balcony all the way across the front. The big windows on the ground floor that face the road used to be doors out to the balcony. It'd be killer to bring that back, but that'd be one hell of a project.

Also: Bradley will now be joining this blog, and chiming in with his two cents about the project.

Remember... the uglier the pictures, the cooler the transformations.

This is the large, tall stained glass window. At the bottom are a little boy (left) and girl (right) walking up a path. There's a little house (white, left, middle) and a beautiful sunset.  

The sink of the first floor bathroom. Blah blah blah. GONE. 

The kitchen-thing on the first floor. I say kitchen-thing because I keep referring to it as a kitchen, but it's just a tiny room with a sink.  

Bathroom on the first floor. *yawn* Can we rip this thing out yet? 

The other half of the kitchen. On the left, an ancient oven. Cabinets, fridge at right. 

Zee kitchen. Ground floor. You're looking at one half of it... dishwasher and sink directly in ahead, and on the right, cabinets. (If you could see past the edge of that cabinet you'd see that window to the bathroom I was talking about.) 

One of the frequently mentioned doorknobs. These babies ain't goin' anywhere. ...I hope.  

Basement stairs. *cough* 

Main floor bathroom... er, toilet. Funny point of note: at the top you can see the window. To the kitchen. And the curtain to that window is on the kitchen side.  

This is in the attic, specifically in the room that I want to make into the library. We'll call it Attic Right, as it's to the right when you climb the stairs. The white door (far left) is normal-sized. The middle door is smaller, and the door at right is smaller still. A-freaking-dorable.  

Another fabulous picture of the green room. I'll assume you already noticed the door. On the top right: creepy wallpaper with watering cans or a brick over or god knows what. On the bottom: no paneling! Mwu hu ha ha ha! 

The green room!!! Things worth noting: at the top, some brilliant fern wallpaper. Very classy. On the bottom left: green-tinted wood paneling. HOT. And on the bottom right: the area that I attacked and ripped off the paneling. (Underneath: more green!) 

The brown room. Incidentally, the room where they left a lot of junk. Still, a spacey room with big windows (as are all of the bedrooms). 

This is the bathtub on the first floor. Okay, the only bathtub. This room will be the first major project (as Amy and I won't move in if we have to shower in a curtained stall in the basement). Dad wants to replace it with a claw-foot tub. *drool* 

This is the teal room. It's on the first floor (not the ground floor, the first floor). Notice the other fireplace. Neither fireplace is functional.  

A very bad picture of the front door. I'll lighten one up later. What you can allllmost see at the top are little circles of stained glass. More pictures of those later.  

A very artistic angle of the main staircase. You can see, at the top, a corner of the large, wide stained glass window. This is right in the foyer, inside the front door. 

This is the fireplace in the den (ground floor). Above it, mirrors. Consider them gone. What you don't see on the left: the hideous paneling that dad and Amy tore down violently on Saturday. 

Another view of the deck. Also, that little barn thing is ours. Lance and Merlin will be living in there for a while, I believe. 

More of the back yard.  

The back yard. So green! 

The deck. One of the newer features of the house. In very good shape.  

Part of the den. On the left, a bookcase. On the right, an ugly couch.
