Take a tour of my house - The kitchen

Next up in our little tour of my home is the kitchen. The first house Mr. Man and I lived in after we got married had a small kitchen and we remodeled to make use of the small space better. Then all of the other houses we have lived in had tiny kitchens, one was almost impossible to move in if there was more than one person in there! So as far as kitchens go, this isn't what I would design for us but it is certainly a nice part of our house. The layout of it is very workable and open!

My kitchen

This is taken from just past the living room area and is looking at the eating nook. The below photo was taken from when we were looking at the house and so this is not our table. The eating area is quite small for a family of five, so as you will later see we actually dine in our sunroom and use this little area as a breakfast/homework nook.

The below photo is taken standing by the eating nook looking towards the remainder of the kitchen. You can see the garage door open there that leads to the oversized one car garage and also to the backyard. (this photo was taken the day the inspector was there)

I love the U-shape layout of the kitchen for entertaining. I can visit with guests while cooking, or help the kids with homework while I am cooking. I also like that I can see the kids in the backyard too if I am doing dishes or cooking. I have an over-the-stove microwave I need my husband to hang. But in order for him to do that he needs to take out the cupboards so finding the time for that may be awhile!

The next room I will showcase is the sunroom, my favorite room in the house!
