The Duplex-Part 1

We've been busy finishing up stuff with our old house while settling into our pretend house. We think we're finally settled enough to show you pictures of the duplex (a.k.a. pretend house).
Please come with me. I'll take you on a tour!
(Note: these duplexes were built in the 1960s, and very little has been done to update them. However, they are clean and in a great location.)

Here's our living room. Mom's back is at the front door in this picture and she's facing a little bit toward the left.
Here's the hallway. This picture is taken with Mom's back against the front door facing straight ahead. The living room is toward the left and the kitchen is on the right. Remember our duplex is t-i-n-y (as in 800 square feet), so we have had to be creative with space. The little shelf in the hall is where we store our toiletries because the bathroom is on the small side.
This is a picture I really wanted Mom to take. I posed especially for you! For this picture, Mom was standing in the kitchen eating area (the front door is on Mom's left). We don't have a pantry at the duplex, so the tub contains a few extras that wouldn't fit in the kitchen.
This is the eating area in the kitchen. Mom's little craft/project desk is in there along with my booster and Jack's high chair. We keep our "to-go" stuff (backpacks, ice chest, etc.) in there too. The front door is to Mom's right, the hall to her left, and the sofa directly behind her.
To be continued...
