Our True Colors.

Thanks to my thrifty mom and the very low real estate prices in Idaho, we were able to buy a house here. 3br, 2.5 ba, good size yard, half a block from the river, 5 min. from John and Emily, 5 min. from work for both of us, and only 5 mi. from downtown.

The place needs work--new roof, new bathroom, etc., but it has good bones, including a nice kitchen and good layout. Though it appears typical on the outside, it has a lot of interesting angles and custom features on the inside.

So we've been adding color, trying to recreate some of the vibe of our old SF house.

 Here's a view of the entry.

We move next week. We are so excited to have our own place again. 

Thanks, mom!
