Show Us Your House or A Little Corner in Your Home!

Someone I know has a pic of my house in Colorado, but I cannot retrieve it just now. She is adept at doing weird and funny things to images, so maybe....... :rolleyes:

My House in Colorado

I was newly-single, again, graduated (finally) from UNLV, took job in Canon City, CO. Rented a litttle house temporarily, while my Mother, who had moved to Vegas to keep me company, stayed behind to show house there for sale. The rental in CC turned out to be FILLED with scorpions! Bejeezus M how it scared me!

Bought a nice fairly new house when the Vegas abode sold. Here's one of very few pics I have.



Here's a shot farther away. In the one above, I was ready to leave for work at the gypsum wallboard plant, their new Plant Engineer. Below, the house viewed from across the street. It had a large, circular section in the middle having a see-through fireplace in the center, kitchen off to one side, living room opposite the fireplace, bedrooms and baths off to the right, like in another separate building, enclosed breezeway to the left, which connected with the garage. I bought it from the guy who built it, Roger Tyler, who had lived in it while completing work. My Mother loved it! So did my new girlfriend. Whole 'nother story there. This place was judged by my co-workers at the plant as the most desirable home in Canon City. I bought it for $40,000, 1978. God, how I miss my past existence!! imp

 

Very nice flooring, Ken! We wanted to put in wood floors in our living room back in 2010 when we were doing lots of redecorating and remodeling. Hubby first gutted the kitchen and put in a new one by himself. Took 5 weeks. And when he was done he was not anxious to spend a lot of time putting in living room floor. So we went for wall to wall carpet instead.

Thank you...We had carpet in the living area for 16 years!! Time for a change..
 
I have some pics of the house in this thread already, but here's one of a corner of the living room after we redecorated/remodeled:

A photo of our house that I edited to look like a pencil drawing - I replaced the house name with Home:

Lovely Annie...your kitchen diner looks quite traditional and pretty...fits in with the house nicely..but as always that view is breathtaking...who could not wish for a view like that? :D


I like the pencil drawing of the front of the house , I've done that a few times with different pictures, usually of family..

Ta! The only thing I'd really love to change about the house - which would be impossible - is a bigger kitchen so we could have table and chairs in there.

I like to turn landscape/seascape pics into watercolours.

Can you not knock your dining room through into the kitchen...or is that dining area part of your living room?

The dining area is part of the living room. We have talked about knocking the wall down but dismissed it. And we couldn't extend it on the side as it would go into the driveway and block the garage access which is detached. On the back side is our laundry/furnace/storage room.

Ken, nice flooring.

Never thought much about floors. Then a couple yrs ago bathroom and kitchen flooring was replaced. That, combined with new kitchen countertops made a huge difference!

I think I might prefer the scorpions to the snow.

:dunno: or maybe not. It's a difficult choice.

Warri, Colorado, much of it, is semi-arid, not quite deserty, but not anywhere near as wet as our Midwest. I imagine that explained the presence of scorpions. When I complained to the Landlady, she laughed, saying the "hogback" as she called the ridge west of town, was heavily infested with Tarantulas "big as a teacup"! It did snow, our altitude there was 5000 ft. Currently, here in Arizona, the County Seat, Kingman, 30 miles to the east, gets dusted with snow a bit almost every winter, it's 3500 ft. Our home is about 600 ft., which denies Mother Nature's "dishing out" anything more than plenty of wind, and hinted promise of rain, which most of the time results in disappointing amounts.
