When you walk in your front door, which room do you enter?
The living room, which is currently torn apart while we guerrilla paint the walls.

Do you have a dishwasher?
Yes. Thank goodness. The teenager uses 23 glasses a day. It's his job to empty it.

Is your living room carpeted or does it have hardwood floors?
I'm told there's decent hardwood underneath the brown almost-shag. I hate the brown, but kids and cats. It hides the dirt well.

Do you keep your kitchen knives on the counter or in a drawer?
In a knife block on the counter. I want to get one of those magnetic strips to hang them from one of these days. They go dull so quickly.

House, apartment, duplex or trailer?
House. I love this house!

How many bedrooms is it?
Three. Two upstairs (us and Lila) and one downstairs (Tyler). His is off the dining room and emits odors and spills garbage daily. Someday that will be the office. Not that I'm wishing for him to grow up fast or anything.

Gas stove or electric?
Gas.

Do you have a yard?
Yes! We are so fortunate to have 4 city lots in one!

What size TV is in the living room?
I think it's a 36". About four years old and going strong.

Are your plates in the same cupboard as your cups?
No.

Is there a coffee maker sitting on your kitchen counter?
Yes.

What room is your computer in?
The living room. Someday that office, though...

Are there pictures hanging in your living room?
There were, but everything's down while we paint and I'll probably print and frame some new stuff to change it up a bit.

Are there any themes found in your home?
Not yet, but we're working on it. First step: gorgeous red wall.

What kind of laundry detergent do you use?
Arm and Hammer Free. I need to start buying something biodegradable.

Do you use dryer sheets?
Sometimes. Especially if I'm drying fleece (which we have a LOT of in this house).

Curtains in your home?
Dining room and bathrooms. I'd like to do roman shades once these walls are all painted.

What color is your fridge?
It's stainless with an ice blue finish! We bought a floor model for 60% off at Sears, a model they had only (nationwide) sold maybe a dozen units of... hello, blue! But we love the blue. We don't care if our other appliances don't match--they're black and that's good enough.

Is your house clean?
Never as clean as I wish it was, but I'm not very good about regular maintenance. We'll call it good enough, okay?

What room is the most neglected?
Tossup between Tyler's room and the basement. They're equally disastrous, it's just the basement is 6x bigger ... but his room rivals it in many ways.

Are the dishes in your sink/dishwasher clean or dirty?
Dirty, waiting to finish loading the dishwasher.

How long have you lived in your home?
2 years in June.

Where did you live before?
About 45 minutes east of here in a much bigger house on 4 acres with crazy neighbors. I miss the peepers in spring, the night sky and the daily geese, but otherwise not a bit.

Do you have one of those fluffy toilet lid covers on your toilet?
Ew, gross.

Do you have a scale anywhere in your house?
A really ancient kitchen scale that's probably not very accurate. I've never owned a bathroom scale.

How many mirrors are in your house?
Two in the bathrooms, a crazy collage of odd mirrors in the dining room (4), one in the living room and one in each upstairs bedroom. So 9 total. The dining room ones are coming down, it's too much energy in there.

Look up. What do you see?
Sand painted white ceiling. Why do people do sand painting? Textured ceilings are ugly.

Do you have a garage?
Yes, but according to Chris there's no such thing as enough garage space.
