More pics

We went to the house today to meet with a contractor to get his take on some of the ideas we had for improving on the house.  While there, we snapped some more pics:

Master bedroom, with a view to the attached private office/art studio:

The view from Rebecca's painting table should definitely inspire some masterpieces:

 

The den/2nd bedroom which Lizette has claimed as her own because of its stained glass "butterfly doors":

 
No worries though, because Reese also wins, as his bedroom is the bigger one:

The living room is one in which it will definitely be hard to keep your eyes on the t.v.:

 

 A little peep hole into the living room, for Lizette to use to spy on us when she should be sleeping...

 This is the light in the entry way...one of the first things Rebecca wants to replace:

The bathrooms are okay...need some work:

The dining room is a nice size, but needs some work to maximize the views (did I mention that the house looks on to some mountains???):

As previously indcated, the mountains (and other fun outdoor things):

Me gusta Don Quixote'

 A few more pics on our way out the door:

Finally!

It's been a long road, and there's still more to go, but we've finally gotten a house under contract!  Below are some of the photos:

This one is in the mountains (if you like that kinda thing) on the NE side of ABQ in a great school district and close to some of our most oft-traveled destinations (e.g. Chick-fil-A).  Here are some shots of the house:

And here are some of the views looking from the house:

It was hard to get pics from inside the house, as there's not a lot of overhead lighting to make the pics come out well, but here are the ones that did:

The kitchen needs some work, but we know a great cabinet painter (i.e. Rebecca):

And, as a parting shot, a view from the front of the house in the evening:

So, pretty much awesome!
