This is our kitchen. I designed it and the cabinetry is from Blue River Cabinetry that I used to work for. The cabinetry is distressed knotty alder, and the island and wood hood are distressed black painted maple. The eating island (foreground) is just beaded plywood painted black. We aren't done with the countertop on the eating island, I have to trim the edges still. The work island has a granite countertop while the perimeter cabinets have tile countertops.
This is our living area, we still have a fireplace (vent-free gas logs) to install in here to the right of the entertainment center on the angled wall. The TV is a Pioneer plasma 50" that is pretty darn cool!!! We will also be adding beams across the ceiling in the not too distant future with theater lighting and can lights.
This is the front porch with our Christmas decorations that were lovingly installed by your's truly.
