More House Pictures

So, my house is a year and a half old and I just realized that I've NEVER posted any pictures of the kitchen/dining area! This is probably because there isn't much going on in these areas in terms of decor or DIY (except for maybe my awesome drum shade makeover). Today I'm sharing a few panorama pics taken with my new iPhone! The quality of the pictures is just OK but OK pictures are better than NO pictures!

When I designed the layout of my house I really wanted an open concept kitchen/dining/living space. With only 1,100 square feet to work with, it was important that I tried to maximize the main living space.

Here's the view from the kitchen looking toward the living room...

you can also see a sliver of the main entry hallway on the left!

And here's the living room right now...I just got a new furniture set from Ikea so the slipcovers are a bit wrinkled...buying a steamer is on my 'to do' list!

I'm not done with the decor in this room yet (want to add some pillows, maybe change out the rug...not sure) but I did just frame up some more engineer print family photos for a little collage behind the couch!

Here's a source list for the items in these rooms:
