(Note: These photos were taken before we moved in as the house was with my Grandpa's furniture still in it.)
^ These cabinets and all the other built-ins in the house were custom built by the builder. The kitchen isn't entirely original. The counter tops were once avocado green, and the stove and dishwasher are updated too.

^ These cabinets and the others throughout the house have very elaborate hardware. And carpet in the kitchen? It might have worked for my Grandma, but I wouldn't recommend it when you have 3 children. 
^ The secretary desk is a handy spot. The fireplace beyond matches the planter in the entry.
^ On the far right of the fireplace is a wood box. Can you see the horseshoe handles? Well, as long as I can remember this was carpet-lined and contained toys instead of wood. It is a favorite hideout of the kids.
^ Another view of the kitchen from the dining room.
^ The dining room. Behind the curtains are sliding glass doors that lead out to the deck. The buffet and china cupboard on the wall were made by my Grandma's dad and were brought over from their old house.Tell me what you think! Next post: the Living Room.

My mother-in-law has carpet in her kitchen - she doesn't like cold feet! I like the kitchen. Would love to have the "bar/pass through" to the dining area.
You have a lot of work to do? But I think it is great that it worked so well for your sweet grandparents.
That's how my Grandma was too, Emily. She didn't like cold feet. I say, wear slippers! :) I would like to take all the soffits out, and the penninsula also, and put in and island. I think it would really open the room up.
Love the buffet! An island would be fabulous!
Yes, carpet in the kitchen. Bad, bad, bad. We had that, and one day I spilled spaghetti sauce ALL over it. I was not happy.
LOL, I might have to try that! You said "had", right? So apparently that was a good way to get rid of the carpet? Actually there is already a big stain from soy sauce or something.
