My Early Christmas Present or How the House Saga Ends...

Waay back in July, I got the opportunity to bid on a house that I'd wanted for ages in a pixie police auction. And some of you may remember that I got outbid. I kind of thought that was the end of it.

But it wasn't.

 It's HERE!!! David and Wendy got it for me for Christmas! I'm told I'm better off not asking what strings they pulled to get it for me, so I'm not asking. I'm just so happy it's here!!!

So I spent all day yesterday moving in. It still needs some work (like I need to paint this front door) but it's AMAZING! Wanna see? Come on in!

First thing in the living room: my case for my glass animal collection! 

That beautiful white bunny in the middle? That came from my buddy Zorropirate. She is such a sweetie. I love him. I'm just so happy to finally have a place they can be OUT and on display, instead of in storage. 

 Anyway, so this is the living room. I need to decorate my tree, since I'm thinking I'll have a little Christmas Eve party here (Devika always does Christmas at her house). We'll see.

 This is the dining room.

 And the kitchen. I love this kitchen. So. Much.

Stairs are temporary stairs until we can get decent built in ones. But they'll work for now. They just need a railing.

 

So this is the hallway. 

 

Guest room.

Not that I get guests, but maybe if I have a guest room I will. Wendy's been talking with a friend about dolly visits: someone from the Kingdom visiting the Attic and someone from the Attic coming here. We'll see! I hope it's someone who fits in my guest room.

Tiny bathroom. Which is cute. But, is it like the guest bathroom?  I'll show you why I ask.

I haven't really decided what to do with this room. 

I think it's supposed to be maybe a Master Bathroom, but it is seriously RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the other bathroom. So do I really need two side by side bathrooms? 

But it does have a door right into my bedroom, so that would be kind of handy. I dunno. I'd love to hear what you think in the comments. Let me know!

So this was the best Christmas present EVER. Thank you so much David and Wendy for doing this. It means a lot. Home for the holidays, indeed. 

And I think Bean and I are going to be very happy here. Aren't we, Bean? Yeah. :)
