Our castle & our keep

Here's our house, in the middle of our street. Not so much a castle as a cute little bungalow that we intend to inhabit until our lease is up in a year, then we will assess.

One of our favorite features is the working fireplace, which we've put to good use on several occasions so far. Oh, and I've always been a fan of the front door with the little cutout windows and always wanted to have one.

The walls are still mostly bare; we have much less wall space here than in Denver so haven't figured all that out yet, but it will definitely add a lot to the place one we get to hanging.

Our landlord told us we have a certain kind of plaster that doesn't like holes in the wall too much, and he suggested we use only the nails already in place or use straight pins to hang stuff. As if! In Denver we were able to use picture molding for much of the art; unfortunately, the molding here is only decorative and won't accommodate hooks.
