Little House in the Forest

Sandhill 2 (very unromantic name, eh?), our house, is in a col de sac, our loupe, and is stationed among a bunch of other Sandhill houses. We pull up to the drive way, come with me, and explore the inside. We must walk up these step to get to the front door. I know, the steps don't look very nice, but wait till you get inside to judge the house. You see the deep, reddish brown door, carved with an owl in the center, and leaves at the bottom. Turn the key! We will go inside... As you open the door, you see a small flight of steps going down, and a wide set of steps, though equally small, going up. Let's go up first. You look to your feet, Ginger-colored carpet covers the floor. You've reached the top of the stairs, everything is decorated with a forest/Northwest theme. There is only on large room at the top level, but it is used as the kitchen, dining room, and living room, In the living room part, you see two futons, a chair, and a coffee table. Opposite these is a large, real (yay!) fireplace. Next to the fireplace, built into the wall, is a TV. Behind the couch or futon, there's the dining table, only seated for four, unfortunately. towards the left of the table is the kitchen. To the right of the dining table is two sliding doors, let's go through them. Okay, now we're on the deck, and quite high off the ground. On the farther end of the deck, you can see a hot tub. Let's go downstairs now..
Alright, we're in a hallway, turn left. See that door in front of you? No need to go in, that's the bathroom. turn left again to see Beth's and my room. It's rather small, but large enough for a dresser, a table for a record player, a closet, and, most importantly, a double bed (it might be a queen) with a bed table on either side. Do you like how the room is themed with fishes? Let's keep going. Go out the door and go right, down the hallway. Never mind, you follow me. As we're half way down the hallway, look to the left, that door is the laundry room. Okay, keep going. That door there leads to Mom's and Dad's room, with a bathroom attached. There's a door in front of us, let's go in. Follow down the mini-hallway that leads to Katie's, Nathan's, Allison's, and Sarah's room. It's a little tight for four people, but it works. This is one of my favorite rooms because of the bear theme. See that door to the left? It leads to Mom and Dad's room, they're connected.
Well, we're almost done. Back out in our main hallwayh, we see two more doors. One's a closet, one leads to- come on, open it! Okay, okay, not that exciting, it's just a garage. But it does have a pingpong table and fourteen bikes. No, I'm not exagerating, there are really fourteen. Count for yourself!
Let's go back upstairs. Wait, I just remembered. In the kid's bathroom, there's the loveliest picture, come with me. See it? it's of a lady in colonial clothes, leading a white horse down a lane. Alright, let's go back upstairs. it is time for you to bid good bye to this house, but I'm here for a week. Staying here with my little family in the little house in the forest.
