they do make a large butcher block surface that fits over the stovetop, but like one that goes over a sink --it seems to be counter productive.

I wish I had proofread my comment -- what a mess it is.

I agree --electrical outlets. my small kitchen (cooking / washing dishes area has 6 outlets. The fridge bogarts one, and the others are free for appliances, one lamp in the living room uses a kitchen oulet. My dinette area is also small with one lamp and 2 outlets. the extra outlet is used for battery chargers and laptops. I remember whne I first saw the kitchen --I notice all of the electrical outlets ! It turned out one didn't work, so I had it fixed right away.
I keep things out of sight, unplugged, but not having them would be a dealbreaker. I usually roll in my trusty cart / island (which folds shut for storage -- Oasis Concepts) for extra counter space when, but an extension cord? never.

5 Ways To De-Funk Musty Furniture

got to agree with Stevie -- the other things really don't work well -- baking soda is good for many things but takes time & re-application to de-mustify anything. i recently bought a canister set and one of the smaller canisters was sour smelling --washing didn't help, so I put some whole cloves and boiling water and let it steep. worked fine and no clove smell remains either.

Are there a lot of houses around yours with the same roof line?


Should I Change the Roofline on My New House? Good Questions

I notice you say you like Mid Century Modern -- didn't notice that at first. the roof line could work well for that I think, but someone tried to make it " cute " with the thingee above the window and the strange shutters the lines on the siding to add "interest" which you may or may not like. --very boxy that window area --also the fact that it the surroundings are so unfinished and maybe to the eye -- it may appear negative to you in some way. I say embrace it and simplify it .

three long narrow windows (connected) might look good, following the lines of the siding.

It would have a lot more curb appeal if you took Norrey's advice. new plantings helps too. I love the roof line but it does look drab due to the colors of the siding roof and bricks. I'd remove the shutters and treat myself to a bigger window. If you dislike MCM, this house could go towards beach cottage. very appealing looking home though.

I am a vintage child ! my family had the stacking set and they were so easy to move around and comfy to sit in.

Enamel is beautiful esp/ milky white with cobalt trim !!!
but if made in China --beware -- it can peel and chip easily.

I have an old bake set like the one pictured, crafted in England and very durable.

#1 it's funny -- it looks like it could topple if not pulled correctly.
#2 is kind of scary. #4 looks like a dirt and dust magnet.
# 3 is really nice --I'd like that.

The paint idea for the office -- you are so brave-- but the result is wonderful. A very serene fun place . Great open shelving in the kitchen / dining area. I like the mixed furniture styles. The exteriors are interesting too, --- plantings on the roof ! I really love this tour because there are so many details that work together to make this home a really personal loved space. Dog adorable in his special chair.

Oops, there IS a closeup. I'm still not sure what the cute animal things are though. ( I've discovered through AT that I love orange accents )

the kitchen is adorable ! the black bedroom is elegant and the children's details are wonderful. Growing up in a home like this, where books and art are treasured and cared for makes a difference. Wish I could see a closeup of the kitchen window sill--
