Some of the kitchen cabinets, part of the island, the UGLY wallpaper,
and one of the diningroom windows:
The kitchen from the other direction:
My husband cooking!:
The Dining Room, before Harry's Mother's furniture, with 1 side of the 2-sided fireplace, and part of the picture
window:
It took me a long time to find a house with a livingroom big enough for a couch, entertainment center, fat-ass chair, ottoman and also 2 big desks with filing cabinets and computers:
