Show us where you live Friday - Kitchen Edition

"Show us where you live Friday - Kitchen Edition"
Hosted by Kelly over at   Kelly's Korner 

Like many of you I have been a regular reader of Kelly's blog since she had beautiful little Harper - when I read about this blog tour I thought it was such a neat idea to see where everyone lives so I thought I would join in.

The combo kitchen/living area is my most favorite place in my home.
It was the main reason we bough the house a few years back.
It is one huge space and has been wonderful for hosting may "get-togethers".

I hope you enjoy my little tour !!

This is one side to the galley part of my kitchen.

This is the other side of the galley  - it's the island with the breakfast bar that we actually eat at most of the time.  

A look from our seldom used eating area of the island with our super comfy bar stools.

This is on the far kitchen wall.  It has the fridge, desk and another prep area with a wine rack in it.

A view from the kitchen into our "living" space.

A view from our Living room into the kitchen/eating area.

The other great feature is a "formal" dining room off the kitchen.  
But honestly we aren't not "formal" people so we turned it into the kids playroom.

Well that's a little look into my favorite room - 
Thanks for stopping by !!

I LOVE your kitchen Michelle! I'm jealous of how many cabinets and storage space you have! All I can say is how the heck do you keep it so neat and tidy? I have piles and piles of paper (school work, etc) lying on our breakfast bar ALL THE TIME!!!
