HNT 31 - My Birthday!

So today is my birthday! And coincidentally I turn the number of this HNT post!

Leading off of the last HNT, here is what I look like in my Kilt - the closest thing I consider to a (clothed) Birthday Suit. . .

. . . Oh, by the way there, the photos are click through... showing my 'real' birthday suit ;)

Not much to say about these photos, I took them with my camera on a tripod and using my remote. I dressed up specifically for these photos, and attempted to get the corresponding poses for the click through.

The biggest and perhaps the best birthday present I got on Friday 29 August (a day earlier than I expected).... it is my first house! My Parents, Sister & Brother-in-law have contributed to some of the furnishing and initial house prep.

Here is a brief photo tour of the house (all photos taken with my camera on the tripod and either pushing the button or using the remote):

My living room. The sage coloured furniture was a b-day gift from my Mom. It is quite comfortable.

The master bedroom, that is still in the middle of being painted. It will be one of the rooms I'm renting out.

This it the den, what is going to be my room - with the nice fireplace. At the moment it's the staging area for setting up the rest of the house.... what am I to do with all the stuff....

The den again, this time featuring the lovely mirror and cork wall, ain't it gorgeous!

The Pink! bathroom. It had carpet (eww), which I ripped out, now we just have to tile over the miss-matched floor.

From the living room to the kitchen, through the dinning room, with the stairs to the basement.

The rec room, with a collection of 70s style light fixtures (there are 10 in total in that room!). I'm not entirely sure how the room will be set up, but quite likely will have the TV / entertainment, my sewing area, games area (board games and air hockey table on loan from a friend), and my music area.

This is the 'blue' bathroom - can't see it, but the sink is blue. It is also quite small (as you can see). But, heck it does have a shower.

The kitchen, which is nice and big! It has a door to the deck and a window to the back yard, which are nice.

The back deck, from the yard. It's nice and semi-secluded.

The back yard (from the deck). With a north-west exposure, I'm wondering how much sun I'll get in the summer... could I sun tan?

Last, but not least, the garage. I am hoping to have a car in there, but currently it is the storage for my stuff to still get into the house (yes I have a lot of stuff!).

Well I hope you enjoyed my photo tour of my big birthday present, mostly to myself, but many thanks to family for helping me.

HHNT everyone.
