Our New House: The Kitchen

Here's the back door headed into the carport. The door on the right is the half bath and to the left is the laundry room ...

 

Here's the view from the couch/den looking into the kitchen eating area -- the little doors through the doorway on the right are the laundry room and that doorway leads to the back door ...

 

We found the kitchen table and chairs on Craigslist, and it ended up being from a lady who had just retired from LSU after working there for 49 years in the Registrar's office. I was so happy about the table and chairs because they are exactly like the set my Grandmama had in her kitchen AND my feet actually reach the floor when I sit in those chairs! My Grandmama was 5' tall, so I figured the chairs would work when I first saw them online.

Here's the view coming in the back door ...

One of my favorite areas in the house is what we are using as the girls' art space ... Just envision those two chairs in front of the window as a comfy loveseat or possibly two comfy upholstered chairs. That's my plan at least so I can sit in a comfy chair while Lydia has her early morning cereal ...

Another view coming in from the back door. My brother made the awesome growth chart "ruler" that is hanging on the wall!

We are really enjoying being able to all be in the kitchen together. Someday we might get bar stools but for now we're enjoying our current set-up.
