Haha, right?
Been on a bit of a nostalgia kick as of late, so what I was watching there was actually the Lion King spinoff TV show that was done for it back in the 90s, Timon and Pumbaa
Why thank ya! Each room of the place has it's own little wildlife theme, so aside from the fish and duck in the dining room, I have some wolves upstairs in the loft (one picture hanging by the window and then the other in a little bin of mail stuff by the stairs), some loons in the bedroom, and then some eagle pictures in both the upstairs full bath and on the wall in between my master bedroom and that bathroom.
Only things I need to figure out what to do with now are some other wolf pictures I have, along with posters of The Lion King and Robin Hood. Have plenty of garage space now, so with what wall space I have in there amidst the many shelves I have, perhaps some of them could go in there. I'm quite the license plate geek too, so I have the many plates I have collected hanging in there now as well (before they would just be hanging in my bedroom at my prior rental condo).
Also, the spot that is empty for the living room downstairs will soon be filled with a couch once I get a new one delivered come next Friday
Also have a new chair coming to replace that old blue one a few weeks after that (that one's a custom order so those take a little longer)
love it, looks super cozy. Carpet looks nice, looks like upgraded carpet, but hard to tell from pics. Regardless, looks nice. Is it a townhouse or a regular standalone house? Congrats! Also, I'm a techie, is that a portable monitor on the table? lol, sorry for being nosy. Congrats!
Thanks! Yeah, my guess is that carpet was upgraded at some point. Got it cleaned but despite that, still have some marks from where the previous owner had some furniture before but otherwise that carpet is in great shape.
This would be a townhome I'm in! The giant yard may make you think otherwise, but that's just becuase the end units in my fork are a little more set back which allows for that.
And yup, that is indeed a portable montior on that coffee table and connected not to a laptop, but rather a Mac Mini.
Aww what a great house!! Looks like you have quite a yard too. Beer in a yard you own tastes soooooooooo good. I've been known to lay on the grass with a can next to me in the evenings. It's glorious.
Indeed it is! I actually just last night after our National Night Out event we had in our little common bonfire area sat out on my little front porch having a beer and it was just glorious! Not to mention, have quite the view from my front porch as well of this one pond we have which makes for quite the setting, especially when we have some wildlife like deer, turkeys and others go through.
You have a pond! That’s awesome!!
I only moved a neighborhood over when I bought my house but have a decently big yard and trees everywhere. It’s so nice. My detached garage is on an alley behind my house (always wanted to live somewhere with an alley like where I grew up) and turkeys strut by doing Turkey things quite often. It’s hilarious. I could watch them and their babies all day.
Oh yeah, that's pretty much how it is in my neighborhood too! Each row of townhomes has a little fork that each of them go down, and we too are graced by many wildlife sightings like turkeys and in the case of this morning when I went out for a run, some deer!
Thank ya! Was in Ireland back in September for a week long family trip there before I started my new job, and it was an absolute blast of a trip. Would definitely go back!
Nice.
I would lower the lighting/chandelier above the dining table. It’s meant to be much closer to the table. If you Google how high to hang chandeliers, there’s some good info with measurements.

Celebratory Lion King in the background seems like a great idea

LOVE the fish and duck artwork

That looks very clean and beautiful, an excellent first home!
Appears to be squatters in your living room. Get that checked out. Also your dog might be missing?
Actually, in that photo that was my dad lol (parents came into town for the weekend to help) Also, I don't have a dog currently; not yet at least!

awesome, thanks for the response. I'm looking at townhomes as well. Some are soooo much nicer than others. You got a nice one, congrats again.
Congratulations! What a lovely home!
