This is our first house, we had to do a ton to it as you can see from the photos, still at stage 2 waiting to buy some new furniture but let me know what you think so-far!

Pictures suck, I had a Fuji Finepix that stunk, color are actually very soothing, I just got a Sony F828 and I might retake them... someday :-)

I like it. Especially the bathroom and the tiles on the dining room/kitchen wall.

LOVE the green, don't care for the blue.

I would love for you to retake the photos as I'm always fishing for new ideas

Congrats on the new house...

We couldn't afford to built the porch just yet, it will wrap around the house, for now a place to hang out and keep dry :-)

I would consider a sun room. My next door neighbor had one, and looking back, I always loved it. All glass with a real roof. The guy had a nice TV in it and would go out there to get away from it all. I enjoyed it much more then a porch.

as in? we liked the kitchen except for the fridge which we have now picked out a new one, do you know LG makes fridges? they look pretty nice too, the warranty is short so we finally went with an amana.

he did it on the cheap and all by himself (he did have some help on the roof).

Looking at the photos... I feel for you... PINK TOILET! There isn't much you can do with that

Isn't the roof glass too?

as in: http://www.kennedyproductions.com/sunroom.jpg

Yeah, good thing is you can't get pink ones anymore, so if it ever dies we will have to re-do the whole damn bath.

When the sun comes up I will take more with the .7 wide angle lens

I've already had my coffee and am watching a lovely dog movie.

Is this your first house?

Congratulations � first houses are great! Yours looks nice and cozy, and I love the colors (the green, in particular). Even more, I *love* the plants, tress, bushes, etc. you have in your back yard � just make sure you maintain all that foliage all through the year.

I do like the blue walls with contrasting white appliances, window shades and wall plates. It's refreshing to see� every house I've ever been to has white or off-white walls.

The blue looks better... the green looks a little less matrix like...

Nice setup!

Congrats on the new house.

Personally, I love the bright colors in the rooms.

Ever think of painting the wood cabinets either white or another bright color instead of the natural wood look.

Bur again on being a new home owner....

The new picts help. I <3 that checkerboard wall.

The one thing you coulda done was use white cabinets though.. to fit in with the whole blue and white theme.. that and stick a B&W g3 somewhere

but that's just me... never really was a fan of wood finish cabinets... THEN AGAIN....

from experience, I also know no matter what replacing them is hideously expensive and those ones look fairly new anyway so um don't even think about painting them

Our new place is entirely white.. almost too white. White floors, white cabinets, white walls.. it's like walking into the um 'white house' hehe.

Color is good though
Aloha

Those are nice pictures, congratulations. I also much prefer the blue over the green.

Interesting, I like the green because it's different enough to put in the bedroom, but I wouldn't have used for a living room etc.
