Chantal and I are going to be moving soon into our new home.
Our neck of the woods
It used to be the Colby Farmhouse, in Oakland...i'll try and drum up some more info on this. There is a tiny neighborhood park a few blocks away [Colby Park] that used to be the pond for the farm but was eventually filled and homes built around it...

Here are a couple of [rather cruddy] photos of the interior before we move in...

I'll put up photos of the rest of the place fairly soon...

So here is a what you see as you walk in..

from the entry way, you come into the Foyer and from there, you can see the cool 'Fruit Fireplace' with a pumpkin, pineapple, nasturtiums, and a grape cluster on green tiles...

then as you go into the front room, here are a few pics as you look around...

then you go past this groovy tiny-little hallway and then into the dining room with nice dark mahogany paneling and a great little built in and a funky ceiling...

and then you go into the kitchen.... i'll post more soon...
