Downstairs photos
Posted by Michelle on May 4, 2003 in Michelle
A friend of mine has been after me to take some photos of my house. I finally did and I thought I’d post them here as well.
One of the reasons we picked this floor plan was the way everything was open and flowed – either french doors or arches with no doors between most areas. The rooms are huge to begin with and coupled with the “flow”, it gave the house a very comfortable feel.
It was originally a three car garage but since we don’t have kids and it’ll be 16 plus years before they drive, we had it changed to a two car garage and the kitchen/living room expanded. So your eyes don’t deceive you, this is about the biggest kitchen you’ve ever seen.
We’ve lived here almost three years now. Later, I’ll post photos of the four bedrooms upstairs and the bonus room that is a memorabilia room.
Front of house on sunny day
library with the wallpaper we made from book pages
Dining room – every photo turns out bad. But the art and chair pads are sage, the walls white. I got the table last summer from Workbench and it has sliding leaves that make it so it can seat 10 comfortably.
hallway from library and dining room (thank you Martha Stewart mirror kit). That table opens up as a CD holder but I fell in love with since it was narrow and I needed a hall table.
Hallway with two magazines framed (ESPN and Entertainment Weekly) that one of my websites has been in
my messy office (laptops are in living room right now)
downstairs bathroom
Living room view into the kitchen/breakfast table. to the left is a great B&W photo from NYC
Huge print I love (it is five feet by 3 feet)
my sweet 40in sony vega TV and fireplace (sorry for all the messy cords, Jeff was playing xbox and I’ve got 2 of my laptops in the living room changing machines). Above the fireplace is an awesome shot of City Lights bookstore in SF that we visited on our honeymoon.

kitchen view three (sorry, still haven’t packed up the mosaic stuff)
breakfast area/bar/craft corner
corner before outside. I found those boxes at an close out furniture store – they are fake leather covered with a map pattern on top.
