Hello from Eugene Oregon!

Hi everyone,  we are settled here in Eugene and we thought it would be fun to have a little tour of our new home. (I found two great second hand stores - Goodwill and St. Vincent dePaul (St. Vinnys) where we bought some of our things for the house.)  Here goes:
Here is our front door - Number 144 at 1150 Darlene Lane. I got the flowers at St Vinnys.
This is the entryway and the bench where we take our shoes off.  It is very wet here and the carpet is light so we don't wear our shoes in the house, we keep our slippers here and change.
Here is the living room ( I took the picture from the stairs)
This is the table and mirror we bought at Target for this wall between the dining room and the kitchen.  (disregard the woman in the mirror - lol)
The dining room - we bought the antique dining set from St Vinnys -( the chairs had old white vinyl on the seats, I bought the tapestry fabric and recovered them)  Brittany gave me the desk in the background.
The kitchen - from the dining room.  we have a really loud refrigerator and dishwasher and the absolute loudest garbage disposal I have ever experienced.  It vibrates the whole counter and things move across the counter when it is on!
The view from our "deck"  it looks high because our home starts on the second floor of the building (our "first" floor)  We have a flight of stairs outside up to our door.
The stairs go up behind this wall in the living room.  We brought this shelf and chair from Utah, we also brought the living room furniture.
This is the little 1/2 bath right inside the front door off the entryway.
This is the laundry/sewing room at the top of the stairs.  It is very big.  I got the desk with the shelves at the Goodwill.
This is Rob's office, we got the little shelves that hold his TV at the Goodwill.
This is the couch in his office - it makes into a bed for visitors (everyone welcome!)
This is the bathroom attached to his office.
This is Rob's closet, he got the big one
This is our bedroom
My closets on either side (I have two because he has the big closet) looking into the bathroom attached to our room.
There is the tour of our home.  We hope that a lot of people will come up and see us sometime!  I will end with a  picture of an amazing sunset we saw from our deck last week:
