New
Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2100 square feet. Cathedral ceiling in the living room. 2-car garage (a tight fit, but still). Finished basement/family room which will be Mom and Dad’s offices plus an extra tv (we figure) and a futon for guests (once we BUY a futon for guests). Two decks off the back, from the two lower levels (which will be very convenient for Chappy, even if he won’t have a doggy door). The two small bedrooms will both be mine–one for sleeping, one for spinning, yarn storage, and my computer. Still in Denville, and actually about a mile closer to work. The lease kicks in on November 1st–just in time for my birthday.
Except for the fact that we’re renting rather than buying, I’d say it just about hits everything I put into my ad in August, wouldn’t you? About the only thing that’s going to be challenging is that there’s about half the kitchen cabinet storage that we’re used to–half the cabinets, and no pantry. But, hey, we’ll think of something!
(And, hey, the smaller window upstairs in the front? That’ll be my Mom’s walk-in closet. You heard me. She’s got a closet with a window.)
And … because I’m as good as my word:
She really didn’t think I was going to give her that sweater! But, really, it looks perfect on her, don’t you think? Thanks, Gail!

Conratulations . . . and what a generous gift to your realtor. She did a great job for you I think, and you rewarded her richly! Really happy for you Deb.

Beautiful! What great light!
For a pantry, what about a pie safe? I always thought that’s what I would do.
