A Higher Place -- Part II The Kitchen and Pantry

Well, the counters will be different and the appliances will be black, but this is it! The Kitchen! When you walk out of the master bedroom, you see the kitchen! What a great sight right away in the morning. Certainly, I'm happy to wake up and see this guy in the kitchen in the morning...how fun! Plus, look how excited he is! Wow, anyone would think he'd just purchased his first home.
You can see the edge of the island in this shot. It's a nice breakfast island...nothing too huge or gargantuan.

These are the cabinets we chose and the countertops we chose also. I wish the countertop was a little bigger, but we'll be seeing a whole bunch of it when we move in. Choosing the cabinets was like choosing between light oak, a medium oak, and a sort-of-darker-but-maybe-it's-the-same oak. The countertop is a dark gray with bursts of off-white, maroony brown, and black. We like it a lot.

And if you were standing where my beloved was in the first picture, you would see this little hallway. The door on the left is the powder room, and the door on the right is a nice big pantry. That'll be very lovely.


See -- powder room.
And the pantry. I wouldn't lie to you about something as serious as our Emerald.

And here it is in all its glory. What a huge kitchen. Whatever will we do with all this space? I guess we'll just have to cook some delicious recipes in it. Oh well.
