Main Floor of House

I am standing on the stairs to the upper level taking this pictures of the kitchen counters and island.

More of the kitchen with our cat, Dutchess helping me.

our window shelves with the lights behind them. We decided to go with shelves instead of cabinets to make things more open and to use the light from the window.

our fridge with the drawer freezer then a small cabiner and drawer. Then the next on is the dishwasher. I was worried about kids and fingerprints on stainless steel appliances, so we chose to go with cabinet panel appliances here.

the cooktop is stainless, but fingerprints won't be much of an issue here. Isaac is home from school sick with pneumonia and helping me take pictures. yes, he is better. he was put on antibiotics yesterday and his fevers are finally gone. He will go back to school tomorrow for his birthday.

We have to bar stools where Isaac is sitting on the countertop. Our fish tank will be relocated as soon as I order a stand for it. Our cat, Trouble seems to think she can sit up there and watch the fish. I disagree and I cannot keep her off there. So, we will move the fish tank off the countertop.

Our table that we use most of the time and the fireplace. You can see the patio doors out to the deck as well.

To the left of the cabinet panel fridge is the doorway to the pantry. We made a full room pantry. We have our stacked ovens (black) in here. I really like the heat from the ovens in the pantry and not heating up the kitchen. I am really glad we did it this way. We sort of ran out of wall space in the kitchen when planning and they ended up in the pantry. It works well because the cooktop is right around the corner.

This is our deep freeze and drink fridge. I so love not going down to the basement to get meat for supper. I also love having food in the fridge in the kitchen and drink in another fridge. We don't have a completely stuffed full refridgerator anymore.

These are the food storage or extra dishes storage cabinets. There are tall ones on the other side of the room just like these. I just could not get a good view of it for a picture. I still have open space in cabinets.

our table with the patio doors, you can see the railing to the stairs on the left. The doorway with red paint on the right is the dining room.

this is looking at the walk way from a different angle. Our main front door and the living room to the left. You can see a doorway just past the stairs railing and that leads to the guest bathroom and guest bedroom.

Here is the living room again.

guest bathroom. We found this lighthouse themed stuff at Wal-mart.

guest bedroom. I have another comforter for the bed, I just have to find a cover for it before I put it out on the bed. These lamps are for the furniture in the living room. We just don't need them in there right now. We have 2 of the end tables for that set in our family room in the basement.

hallway to the mudroom

the door you see lead to the garage

the locker system we had built. The kids keep their coats,backpacks and stuff in them and it has been very nice. there is a closet to the right for extra coats and shoes.

the door to the garage is to the right of this picture. This 3/4 bathroom was an after thought, but handy. It will be nice when kids are outside playing and they only have to get this floor dirty and not walk through the whole house to the guest bathroom.

you see the lockers to the left and on the other side of the extra closet is our mini laundry area for the main floor and a utility sink. I had a friend tell me she wished she would have put a small until on her main floor because they also had their main unit on the upper level. It is quite handy for snowsuits, hockey gear, etc.

I didn't put pictures of the library or office again because I have them in a post a week or so ago. They are on the other side of the fireplace by the table we use most of the time in the kitchen.
