Some pics...

 Here it is!

 We sold our 6-8 seat table in favor of a 4 seater that can expand to 6 with the hidden leaf.  It suits the space much better.  Now, I'm still not in love with the wall color, but it's the 2nd one, so we're going to stick with it for a while.

 Despite having 600sqft MORE than our apartment, somehow we lost space.  Without a mud room or pantry, we're struggling to find spots for everything.  I added this little sideboard to house more pans, though I'll probably switch it to pantry items this weekend.

 See the backsplash?  Yep, I did that myself!

 We have a beautiful bay window!  And the silestone countertop was a gift from our wonderful friends.  I removed a DISGUSTING gray laminate top and used the silestone to create a breakfast bar area on the island.  LOVE IT.  And got the two chairs to complete the look... plus they can be used at the table if we expand it for company.

Mom loaned me this sofa table after the fire.  When we moved in here, I didn't have a place for it and told her I'd give it back.  Then I realized it would fit perfectly into the bay window (whose space was totally unutilized).  Now I'm not giving it back.  Plus, it's Otis's favorite place to lounge and be the neighborhood watch.
