I took some new pics of the downstairs rooms in the house. There's definitely been progress, but we've still got more to do. We're in desperate need of "accessories" now--pictures, homey knick-knacks, etc. And there are no pictures of the red room because right now it's basically a holding area for the still-unpacked boxes, leftover apartment furniture, tools.... But anyway, for your viewing pleasure:
The Living Room
We still need to get a couple of armchairs for more seating in here, but this is the one room that's 90% complete. The entertainment unit is in need of some of the pretty things mentioned above to fill up the shelves, so don't mind the gaping open spaces. We're just happy that we finally found something nice to put the TV on instead of my old coffee table, and W. finally has his nightstand back instead of using it to hold the DVD player/amp/CD player, etc.

Kitchen
This room is a far cry from the 1970s avocado green kitchen we had in our last apartment before this house. The granite counters, storage space, counter space, stainless steel appliances, and lighting are all awesome. Even our kitchen table is fun--we got a counter-height table and love it.
Dining Room
Definitely a room that needs more decorating! The table is square with a hidden butterfly leaf for easy expansion when we have guests--no protecting and storing an extra table leaf under the bed for us. I swear the butterfly leaf is the best thing since sliced bread. The kitchen table above actually has a butterfly leaf as well. I got the little buffet unit from Target; it was the perfect size for the space (and priced right) but man it was a pain in the butt to put together (and I've put together a lot of DIY furniture).
Downstairs 1/2 Bathroom
Self-explanatory. Also in need of little touches.
I'll take some pictures of the upstairs rooms at some point and add those too. Thinking of doing some painting, but we'll see if I actually muster up the enthusiasm to do it ;)
