"That's kind of embarrassing... isn't it."

That's what Jeff said as he looked toward our kitchen table. This made me laugh, for quite some time actually. We realized soon after we moved into our home that our furniture, especially the kitchen table and chairs, looks like a child's play set. This picture just doesn't do the moment justice.
Besides a plasma TV, a couch and king sized mattress, Jeff and I really haven't purchased a thing since we were married over 3 years ago. We thought the extended cabinets below would be a nice place to serve food buffet-style when company comes over (after we buy a new table of course). As of this moment, only the first two have been put to use.
If you can call this putting them to use...
This is the cupboard I use for "occasionals". Occasional meaning I have only used one item in this cupboard, only once.

Cupboard #2
Some of my dishes are dirty at the moment... of which 2 belong here.

Ah, the Master Suite. Still need to make our bed as you can see. Jeff and I have been thinking of buying a pool table to put in here. Any other suggestions? Maybe we should up our king to an... extended king? That way we won't have to vacuum so much space.

Here is the guest room. Jordan, stay as long as you like. I promise to make the bed first.

The future nursery?

And the full-sized tennis court. I put this baby together while watching Obama become President Elect. Never thought I would have a home big enough for one of these. I will be working on my serve this afternoon.

Well here are the pics you peop's have been asking for. Exciting huh? Anyone know of any wonderful garage sales or giveaways?
Maybe we should rent our rooms out to people as storage units. I have 3 available. First come, first served.

I love it! It is beautiful! How wonderful that you have your own house now! That is awesome. And we happen to have an "embarassing" kitchen table too. Along with several other pieces of furniture that we are slowly phasing out . . .

Is there an echo in that master bedroom?! I think we could fit about 12.5 of ours in there! The whole place looks huge!

Congratulations, and have fun with it!
