This is the exterior after the painting. We plan on building a giant swing from the tree branches at some point... but I might put up some cool rock climbing holds so I can scale the tree in the time being. Over the next 3 weeks, we'll do some minor landscaping and lightscaping to the front and a major landscape project to the back... more photos of that in the upcoming weeks.
This is the Living Room with views through the bay window of the front yard.... front door on the left. You can just see Boston's red pillow lying at the base of the window. He sits there all day keeping watch of the house. Kate and I have been impressed with the large amount of strollers and dog walkers cruising by our home on the way to the neighborhood park 3 blocks away. Lots of action for Boston to scope out. 
My wife is SOOO great, she let's me snap photos of our house with ESPN on in the background. Remember the old nasty carpeting? It's been replaced with gleaming hard wood floors. 
This is the view from the bay window/front door to the fireplace. We have begun to place our growing wine collection in the nook on the back right... being so close to Napa & Sonoma has its privileges...
There used to be a wall that separated the dining room from the kitchen. We now have a much more open floor plan and flow from living room to dining room to kitchen. The laundry and doorway to the backyard is through the white doorway in the background of the photo.
Here is the guest bathroom. The camera flash makes it look a bit yellow. Its not... it is cozy with a really cool bathroom sink faucet. Kate and I have been using this bathroom each morning while the master bathroom is completed. 
This is the guest bedroom, with views of the outside. This is a 3 bedroom house. The 3rd bedroom (not shown) is our office and is complete with another bed should we have more than one visitor at a time. We encourage all friends and family to visit. We LOVE the neighborhood and our life together in Sacramento. We want to share our home with all of you..................
This is the master bathroom shower. The entire master BEDROOM is black and white... photos to come once fully designed.... the Master Bedroom follows the overall look. The tile is a nice white and gray stone, with a white river pebble floor. Very zen... Next up... outdoor landscaping. New photos over the next 4 weeks. Stay tuned...
