Home tour #2: Family room and Kitchen

Here is a shot of our family rooom while standing facing the fireplace. Love that there is fireplace and love the built in entertainment center. We initially had a dilema as our TV is a 1/2 inch too wide to fit in the space for a tv. We shopped around for a new TV, however the only new flat screen tv we could find that was a perfect fit in the space is $1,100 and we don't want to spend that much right now. So we decided to look on Craigs list and we found this TV for $20!! It is smaller than we are used to, but works fine for now.                         

                                                 More of the family room.

We love the eat in kitchen with desk. 

Here is my cheerful and "fruity" kitchen. I'm typically not a fan of any kind of wall paper, however this is not bad and really seems to go well with all of our things. Plus, I recently heard on HGTV that wall paper is making a big come back!! So for now, wall paper it is.

another shot of the kitchen

love this cheerful bouquet of sunflowers!

A shot of the family room looking in from the arched entry way. The kitchen and family room have a beautfiul tile floor with a carpet insert in the family room. We love the shutters and designer window coverings!

A close up shot of the mantle. The cross was my Mom's. So there you have it folks, the family room and kitchen. Next stop on the tour is my craft room and I hope to post those pics tomorrow. Thanks for continuing on the tour of the new house!!
