Finally a Home! - May 2011

After 8 or 9 trips to Cleveland and 60+ houses later, we finally found a home.   It's in Shaker Heights, has 4 bedrooms, an office and a partially finished basement spread among 4 levels.  The 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom are by themselves on the third floor so we turned that into our guest suite.  Visitors welcome!  We got very lucky in that the house was built in 1953 in a neighborhood where most were built in the 1920s.  It has air conditioning too, thank God.  We'll have to do some renovating - nothing too major - but here are the "before" pics from the previous owner.  I'm sure one day I'll have "after" ones.

 This is now my office:

 This is now our master:

 This is now Audrey's big girl room:

The finished side of the basement that we're not sure what to do with yet.  That's a full wet bar at the back left:
