Heading downstairs to the first floor.... this really shows how beautiful our stairs, banister, and newel posts are.
The locker in the mudroom.... Love it!!!!! Thanks Sergei!!!!!
A shot of the study (this will eventually be a spare bedroom, if we ever get around to purchasing a murphy bed...)
A shot of the stair case - this is what you see when you walk in the front door.
And this is where I'm sitting right now... watching a tivo'd Southland and blogging! Hooray for wifi!
This is a shot of the front door, taken by the base of the stairs.
Here's a shot of the dining room. I tried to get the built-ins in the shot, so it is kind of far away. We've already had some great pizza in this room!
Now, the kitchen. Please pardon the dishwasher with little handprints all over it! I should've cleaned it before the pictures. But we love the kitchen, it is really set up nicely for prep work and cooking. We've made some really great meals so far - crab legs, spaghetti and meatballs, stuffed peppers... yum. The cooktop is induction - kind of crazy to hear the magnets "whirring" when it first starts up. But there's no flame and no big orange ring - it actually keeps the cooking area cooler. The only heat is from the pan.
We also love our big giant farmhouse sink. It is surprisingly easy to keep the cast-iron clean and the size is great. I also love, love, love our chalkboard. And our lights. Oh, really I love the whole thing.
Here's a good shot of the nook with the table. The kids love hanging out here.
We'll post pictures of the basement, yardwork, pimp shower and master bedroom tomorrow... I'm tired!! Thanks everyone for your patience. And thanks to Jason Stone and Sage Homebuilders for building our dream home. This house is truly amazing and we are so happy. It was all worth it!!!
