Not All Who Wander Are Lost: Our New Home

We are renting this great little house in Lombard. It's less than 5 miles from Tim's work and in the cutest little neighborhood. Cooper's school is three blocks away and we pass Taylor street and Harrison street to get there.

It's a great old house that has been redone. They left all the best parts though. The original wood floors, the solid wood doors and all the original hardware. How cool are the knobs in my house?

This is the entrance to the house. This is why we have to buy new couches. NO WAY are they making this corner.

Front great room. View from the front door.

Dining room off the great room.

Looking back on the great room from the hall.

This is our bathroom door knob on the inside. So beautiful! This is one of the only ones that has some ivory left on it. Most of the others are all worn down to the metal underneath.

Yes!! A laundry chute in the bathroom to the laundry room below!! Oh the things I get excited about!

Office/Craftroom

Cooper's Room

Master Bedroom. I use that term loosely. They're all about the same :)

I'm so grateful they added this little counter. And notice there are no drawers in the kitchen....there is one tiny one on the other side of the fridge. Phew....I can do this with one.

Basement stairs. Not creepy. Thank goodness! They wanted to repaint them before we moved in and I said it wasn't necessary. I like the worn look. It has a story. And besides, we're moving stuff in here. It would get all messed up! I may paint them in the future, but probably not. Love the blue color!!
