"Very nice home! The dining room location doesn't seem very convenient, as it appears to be at the opposite end of the kitchen, up a flight of stairs......"

we couldn't agree more.. the saving grace of having that long island is that we eat most of dinners there. but the crazy story is the original layout.... talk about inconvenient.... when you first walked into the home you had to go up 7 stairs, take a left and then right back down 7 more stairs to get into the kitchen.... imagine that with armfuls of groceries. i assume the previous owners used the side door for everything?.?. the whole remodel started with us simply wanting to move the door 90 degrees. it ended up going a little wild. we eventually filled in those first 7 stairs and moved the door so that you can walk right into the kitchen/family room area.

"What neighborhood are you in? Somewhere around Mt. Tabor, I'd guess. The regulatory hurdles suck, but you came out lookin' great!"

we live in Raleigh Park area. it's a little oasis right in the middle of everything.

"Nice work guys! Love everything about it. Who made the long light colored credenza in the front room?"

that comes form the lovely people at IKEA. it's perfect for hiding movies, and candles and the printer.

"What is the gray tile? flooring in your living space? I love it!"

it's actually some rather inexpensive ceramic tile. i don't remember the brand, but in a room as long as ours, i feel like going with 18" x 18" tile work better than standard 12" x 12". we also had them flush mounted so that all the random cars and trucks and vehicles that eero rides around don't drive us crazy with the noise.. oh, one other thing about the tile, there's a little direction to it, and we had the tile layer line it all up to elongated the look rather than checkerboard it.
