Hello Folks,
Here are pictures of my new house. I am looking for a nice name for the house, so suggestions are welcome.....
Possibilities : Varadaraju Nilayam
Varadaraju Mahal
Chateau de Raju
The Dragon's Cove
Well, On to the pictures
This is a picture taken from the entrance of the house. The entrance has hardwood floors. Then after that is the living room. There is a fireplace in the center of the far wall
Going left from the entrance, you see this passage way which leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There are 2 bedrooms to the left, the bathroom that you see at the back and the master bedroom on the right.
This is bedroom #3. This is a smaller room, measuring a little more than 10 x 10. The window is facing the eastern street. On the opposite wall is a closet.
Ramya has already claimed bedroom #2. This bedroom is a little more than 11 x 11. This window also faces the eastern street.
This picture is also from Ramyas bedroom. This is the closet on the wall opposite to the windows, and the door that comes in.
This is the common bathroom. This one has a tub
This is the master bedroom. The window faces the western side of the house, with a nice view towards the lawns in the backyard. This room is a little more than 14 x 14.
This is the walk in closet in the master bedroom.
This is the bathroom that is attached to the master bedroom. It has 2 sinks, a shower and a small linen closet.
This is coming back to the entrance of the house. To the bottom right of the picture are the stairs that are going to the basement. After that, is part of the kitchen. You can see the island kitchen in the middle and to the left of it is the dining area. After that is the doors going to the deck outside.
This is another picture of the kitchen and the dining area.
This is a picture of the kitchen. You can see the sink in the island. The door all the way in the back is to the garage. To the left of that door is a small laundry room.
This is the area after the kitchen. The door on the left is going to the garage. The door on the right, is a small closet. And in the middle is a small place for a coat hanger.
This is the laundry room.
These are the stairs that are going down to the basement.
This is the basement, which is completely unfinished right now. The corner where the window is located is the proposed bedroom in the basement. To the left of it after the poles is the proposed bathroom location.
This is a walkout from the basement. In front of this is just socializing area, with a proposal to have a pool table/table tennis/foos ball table in the future.
This is the other side of the basement from the walk out entrance. The proposal is to have the media area to the right of the stairs
This is back upstairs near the kitchen, looking out to the entrance to the deck
This is out on the deck. Love the view that is from here, and not having houses immediately behind my house.
This is a picture looking back onto the house from the deck. Lawn and patio are yet to be completed.
This is a Rangoli that is put in front of the house on special occasions.

Setting up the Nine Planets to appease them and bring good luck to the house
Mom adding turmeric and kumkum to the microwave, since it will be the most used device ; )

Mom and Ramya lighting the stove to heat the milk
