Jaymielo - I love my pantry. It feels extremely spacious but that might be because the pantry at my old house was a fourth the size of this one! We've only been moved in for two months and I'm still working on organizing so no pics of the pantry yet - right now it looks horrible! There are lots of shelves, all the way to the 10 ft. ceiling in fact. I plan on keeping holiday platters, serving bowl, etc. at the top. On one side the shelves start at 6ft just so the pantry doesn't feel too cramped and also to give room for hanging a broom, mop, apron or whatever. Yes I have a counter top in the pantry with shelves underneath. I have my small appliances stored on the shelves and on top of the countertop is the toaster, bread box and cookbooks. This works perfect for me because I don't like small appliances cluttering up the kitchen countertops. Totallyblessed - You always give me such a giggle, and I'm not a giggler! The reddish room is my office, I don't have a formal diningroom. I designed the house so the room could be a diningroom (for resale purposes only). It's great because I work at home and I can still be around the activity in the kitchen while I'm working. My son hates it because every time he opens the fridge I ask, "What are you looking for?" He's in college and feels he's old enough to make his own sandwich! I think I posted my office pic on another thread. The button near the prep sink is a disposal button. It's called an air switch. It shoots a little puff of air down a tube that flips the switch when you depress it. Depress again and it turns off. Isn't that cool? Wasn't very expensive at all. The lever next to the faucet is an instant hot water dispenser. I love it so much. I've really become a hot tea drinker because of it. The water isn't boiling but pretty close to it. It's great for making couscous, blanching vegetables, instant oatmeal, quickly cleaning a greasy/oily utensil, etc. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about my home, makes me forget about "THE LIST."

You all are incredibly kind! Jamms - All the trim, floors and doors are pine. The cabinets and front door are alder. I love alder so much I had my dining table and hutch custom made with alder. All the stain is MW English Chestnut except for the livingroom floor which is Puritan Pine. Texanjana - I'm right outside of Austin. Cooperbailey - No magazines but I've posted my pics here before maybe that's what you remember. You can look at the pics individually by going here: http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b259/KellyEng/ I'm all about the boxer! The pics show my two babies, Lola and Tommy. They are both 3yo plus a couple of pics show my 10yo boy Jake, he died last February and every time I see those pics I get a pang in my heart. All I can say about DH is that if you are a fan of a certain genre of rock music, then yes you would most definitely know him. Sorry for being coy but I have rules where DH is concerned!
