Show us your house!

[NZminilops]

I'm so embarassed about where I live now, gah, but I took some pictures anyway. We can't afford anything like the lovely places you guys all live in . This house is bad enough at $304 rent per week.

Not showing the bedroom because it's a disaster zone.


Sakuras' room, her always open cage, a bed, drawers, exercise thingy, drawers and the clothes drier are in here:

The 'gym'

Toilet and bathroom

Living room

Dining, kitchen and laundry room

From the front door, which is up high as the property slopes and the garage is under the living room:

Peg, I LOVE your house! It looks so bright and sunny! And I always love big open plan kitchen/living rooms.... I really miss that from our old house- I think it creates a much nicer atmosphere- we never used to put off taking plates etc to the kitchen or starting the dinner because it was always in the same room!

It looks so nice and sunny there too.. and I love your rabbitry- what a bright sunny room

I wish it was sunny here.....

 

[mouse_chalk]

Michelle, don't be down on your house- it's lovely! It's so neat and tidy.... I wish mine looked that tidy lol! :? I love Sakura's own little room as well- so cute!

Your house is cheap, compared to UK rent prices! That's about £110 a week- we pay £700 a month for our house, which is... 1,919 NZ dollars per month... About $1,048 US.... I'm not sure if that's good or not...

Pep n Fluff, I LOVE your house too- your deck is so nice- and your lounge looks really cosy- I love the fittings in your kitchen too, it looks really modern and clean

I'm loving seeing everyone's houses!

Front of the house:

We added a fence on the porch. These a photos we took before we officially moved in.

Kitchen:

We took the wainscotting off under the cabinets and tiled, with a medallion tile behind the stove.

Family Room:

We painted it a warm orange color and took out the carpets, adding in hardwood floors. it's now the pool table room. And yes, we have a pool as well.

Loft:

Kept the wall color but replaced the carpet with a light gray.

Yeah Jen, our rent is actually really cheap for Auckland, because south Auckland is honestly the WORST place to live in New Zealand. We've had murders on our street, cars are always getting broken into, lots of gangs and meth labs and all sorts of crap around here. I wish we could go live in the UK gah! I'd love to go live where my extended family live in Scotland (Monefeith I think the township is called), I seriously am sick of living where I do.

The rent just seems alot as Mathew only works part time, he brings in about $450 a week.


Peg your house is gorgeous! Not trying to sound like a stupid NZder here, but it's so "American" hehe, exactly how they show American houses to us on the TV here.

 

[Bunnys_rule63]

I love all these big American houses *glares jealously*In England everything is squashed in or we wouldn't fit!

I'll take pictures of my house at some point when my family are out, it's a bit tidier and I'm not supposed to be working.:lookaround:bunny17:

 

[Luv-bunniz]

My bedroom gets changed around by the month, the kitchen gets changed around by the week, and the lounge gets changed around yearly to make way for the X-mas tree, so its a mess at the moment I will post pics of the pet room/my bedroom, the ferrets playroom/the bathroom (BTW, I cant belive you dont have the toilet in the same room as the shower/bath! Our bathroom is an only bathroom and even then its like 6'x7' :? ) and the living room, although the living room is only recently getting finished with decorating, you get the idea lol. As for the garden, its a disgrace to all things human and animals :laugh:

Heck yeah! our house is a little bungalow with a 30' (aprox) by 28' (aprox!) garden, in the house is: 3 kids, parents, 1 rabbit, 2 rats, 1 guinea pig, 1 parrot, 3 cats and outside is a huge shed, 8 ferrets, 2 hawks, 1 barn owl and 1 european eagle owl, I think we should convert the lounge into a pet room though...its hardly even used since we are all mostly in our bedrooms all day on computers, doing school work, XBOX 360, card making etc or outside with the animals.

 

[Wabbitdad12]

Wabbitmom will only allow me to post pictures of the outside, getting ready for Thanksgiving Holiday the house is not presentable, so here are a couple of the house from last year, its a ranch with a finished basement on a acre lot, the end of my lot is the wood pile way in the back. The pool has been taken down though, got tired of the ducks using it more then we did. The car in the photo is our bunny hauling machine.

Thank you! :hug:We're getting a new roof but on because ours got damaged during the remnants of Hurricane Ike. I'm trying to pick out roofing colors to match the siding. I love the siding too and don't want to change it! LOL

Our hall bath, has the toilet next to the tub as well. We have a seperate enclosed toilet area in the master. Seperate from the tub and shower. Most places I've lived it was always next to the tub.

I'll took some quick cell phonephotos, these are of right now so the house is very lived in. And as others have stated, don't mind the mess. lol. Or the animals lounging around the house.

Here is my house. Please note that all pictures were taken when we were moving into the house and none of my pictures are hung yet - my walls look dull.

This is the back patio. The sliding glass door goes into the master bedroom. To the left is the Florida room:

Another real Americany looking house, so cute! I love it!

Can I just ask though, what on earth is a Florida room?

I was going to say the same thing lol! :?

I love all the houses! They all seem to me like typical American-y houses.... That sounds really dumb I know, but it's kind of the typical house you see on TV over here... I love the fact that one-level living is considered normal over there, rather than grannyish as it is over here lol!

Becknutt- OMG I love the view from the front of your house! It looks quite imposing but beautiful! Are you quite far out from stuff?

And Patti, your house looks huge! Lol! I love the view from your back garden too!

I'm really glad this thread has 'taken off' All credit to Amy for the idea though....

A Florida room is an enclosed, temperature-controlled sun room located on the back of your house. Mine has a sliding glass door from both the dining area and living room, two sliding glass door exiting to the backyard, and a regular full-glass door leading out to the patio. And, of course, windows everywhere there isn't a glass door. If you look at my views into the living room, you can see the door into the Florida room.

Well, it's not huge by American-y (LOL) standards. It's only 2,000 s.f. I didn't post any pics of our home office. Oh, and here they are called "backyards" :biggrin2:. Thank you, we enjoy the view too. The nice thing is that across the lake is all city park and will never be developed.

 

[NZminilops]

Any particular reason why they are named after Florida? We'd call that a sun room or conservatory around here. Ii wish we had one, I'd love to have a nice warm room to sit in.

 

[JadeIcing]

I will post on Sunday after the overhaul is done.
