House Tour: Kitchen and Dining Room

We have what is called a galley kitchen.  It's really narrow and I know some people might not like that but I love it.  There is a ton of counter space and cabinets, which is something that was definitely lacking in our old house.  Oh and plenty of outlets in convenient spots.  Our old house had four cabinets (two of which held cleaning supplies), two drawers, a small pantry and two electrical outlets at the counters.  Not to mention that I was the dish washer.  Not anymore!

Kitchen:

 My iPad cover kept slipping and causing this blur around the pictures.  Annoying.

 My laundry room is right off of the kitchen.  It's not very large but it's functional -and inside.

Dining Room:

View from the kitchen.

 This is one of my favorite going away gifts that we received.  Ms. Betty, from our church, gave it to me and said that this was an apt description of our family.  That blessed me so much.  Sometimes you wonder if you're being a light or if all anyone is seeing is your craziness!  

Since I took these pictures (back in October) we've added a bookshelf, printer, cabinet and keyboard. Not such an open neat space anymore but, it's only for a year right?  ;-)
