Here's the rest of the kitchen, from the other side of the island. (There used to be a grill in the island, but when they changed the counter tops, they had that removed.)
If we're not in the kitchen, then we're all here, in the family room.
This is mom and dad's dining room. One of the requirements for a new house is a dining room big enough to fit their 12 foot dining table.
And here's the living room (and a glimpse for the front entryway). This room rarely gets used, except when someone needs to escape for a little privacy to read or something. Despite the lack of doors, it's surprisingly easy to "disappear" into this room and get left alone.
And here's the "5th bedroom," aka the office. Mom and dad just redid this room about a year, maybe a year and a half ago. It is SO MUCH better than it used to be! The flow is fantastic and two people can work easily in there. Now that my nephews are computer addicts, this room gets a fair amount of use when we're all in also.
that is a huge kitchen and beautifully done. I love the island. I think I prefer it w/o the grill .. I do most of my cooking prep work on the island
ReplyDeleteAnother large room! very cozy and another bay window!
*blinks* 12 foot dining table. wowzers!
you can tell they have no little ones around.. otherwise they wouldnt have so much white! heh. isnt it funny how the front living room is always empty?
That kitchen has ruined me for any house I may ever own. It's perfect and the flow is exactly right for cooking, especially if you've got multiple people there.
ReplyDeleteAs for no little ones, actually, we always had light cloth chairs in there when we were growing up. And we've got 3 nephews that descend on the house a couple of times a year. This year, they're 4, 7, and 10. But even when they were younger, they were allowed to eat in there.
