Looking a little more like home...

We truly started with a blank slate with our house here in Germany.  It is a very plain house, without much character.  Don't get me wrong..we LOVE it...but very sterile looking with it's white walls, white floors..and outside it just looks like a big box! : )

But while we lived in it for about 6 weeks with it almost empty, now that our household goods have been delivered, we have been working diligently to make it look "homey"...

I have been asked numerous times for pics of the inside...and we do have some of the rooms complete, so I will try to get some pics up later in the week.  But some of the rooms are still waiting on curtains, and pictures to be hung...so you will just have to be patient...these are things I need my hubby to help with...and with his new job, we are seeing a lot less of him than we are used to!!

Our front entryway is not very grand...but we tried to spruce it up just a bit...


This is a "before" picture of our backyard...nice, huh?  We rented the home after agreeing that the landlord would take care of the weeds, and we would have an actual "yard"...

After months of debate, finally some progress on the back yard.  There is supposed to be sod here...but there was some "miscommunication" with the landlord and it didn't get ordered...hopefully we will have full grass sometime this week.  And believe it or not, this a decent size yard for our area...especially considering how large our terrace is!

Wow! Pretty impressive improvements. I wouldn't mind having that terrace back here in the USA

The back yard is awesome! Amazing difference. Glad you're getting all settled in. Hope the kids are really starting to feel at 'home'.
