A little background on this house... it was build in 1898 and only had the master bedroom, the kitchen and the living room. No bathroom or upstairs, those were later added on. This house is considered "Howard's house". That is how everyone around here refers to it. Howard passed away about 4 years ago and he lived here for over 40 years. He and his wife raised some daughters here. Howard worked for a salvage yard. He would go to crash sites and salvage whatever he could. Therefore our house is a complete variety of randomness. He would bring things home and put them up in his house. For example the kitchen has 3 different types of textured walls and our master bath has an accordian door with a stain glassed window above it. At first I didn't know what to think, now I don't think twice about it. We love "Howard's house". Our landlords live next door and we love that. They are not only our landlords but the husband is Scott's boss/professor and they are both really good friends. They even let us have Cosmo here which has been a huge blessing.
So here is the tour....
This is the master bedroom. It is smaller than our last bedroom but we like it.

This the master bath. It's pretty good size with a shower.

One of my favorite features is this... Howard made a lot of stuff and I believe this is one of those homemade masterpieces. This comes in super handy since Scott and I like different kinds of toilet paper. And it has a magazine rack.











We love being here and I feel more at home here than I did in our last place. It is so nice not to hear neighbors above us. I always felt like I was sharing a house with other people. This place may be old but we love the character and history that it has.
And the last thing that makes a house a home is this guy...
