Here is our kitchen. It is all orginial 1949 cabinetry. I am in love with my kitchen. It is so big and roomy. Once I get my dishwasher installed and more electrical outlets I will be more in love with the kitchen. The walls are painted a cool mint green color. I added a splash of cranberry red with the throw rug. I have cranberry red plates from pier 1 and a big bowl that i use as fruit bowl that really compliments the rug well. My goal in the next month or so is to make a valance to hang in the kitchen window that will tie all the colors together.
This has to be one of my favorites in the house. It is the library table that is on loan from my MIL. It sits right near the front door and is the perfect fit for the wall space. I have a little candy dish that we use to put our keys in. For all you chicago lovers, the picture hanging above is the "bean". Now my only question is, does the picture look to small above the table???
our living room. The fireplace is a working fireplace. The chimmy dude coming out next week to make sure it is safe. I am craving a night by the fire and some yummy red wine. The painting above the mantle was painted by his cousin...again, I am concerned that it is too small....I think the cards make the mantle look way too cluttered.
in the corner there is E's pride and joy...the man bar!! that thing opens to twice its size. Drink anyone??
So you can see we are slowly getting the house together..I spent Friday and Sunday last weekend weeding the front yard. Couple things I learned about weeding..it is really good therapy and it is really tiring!
More pics to come....

I was just getting ready to come over and bug you for new house photos but I see you've already done that. I'm so excited to finally see more so thanks for sharing! As for the size of the photos, I would frame them with matting to increase their size, but obviously the photos/art themselves are something you and Eli both love. It's so cute, I can't wait to see more...
Nice house! I love the size of your kitchen too, and that front entryway table has such character! I would tend to agree with you though, that both of the photos are too small over the table and fireplace. Maybe like Jenny said, if you like the pictures, just get a bigger frame, some matting colors, etc.
I think we need to start tracking where that damn entertainment center has lived. Lawrence, KS, no few than 3 owners in Chicago - maybe 5 apartments there, SOCAL and now SF!
OH, and I LOOOOVE your home!! Can't wait to see more pics :)
I love old timey kitchens like that!!
Love the colors too. Very cool! Can't wait to see more. I'm jealous of the working fireplace too. I bet that is beautiful lit huh? Lucky ass.
Your place is adorable!!!! I love the kitchen!!! It must be so nice to own your own home. I hope that with Mike getting a job our homeowner dreams will soon become a reality. Mike has a man bar too!! My mom bought it for him for Christmas two years ago!! :)
Have a great weekend!!
I love your new house!! I'm agreeing with Jenny about matting/framing to increase size... thanks for sharing the pics - I was starting to wonder if you were hiding something - JUST KIDDING! It looks sooo nice! I'll take a drink!!
I love your pictures! I am going to take some of our place this week (as soon as I figure out where to hide all the dirty laundry and paint cans).
I think Jayjenny had a great idea with increasing the matting on the pictures to get them to a size that's proportional - it'll look super-cool, too.
Good luck with your place. It's fun ad scary and overwhelming, right!?
