We love our (not-so) little house

The kitchen (during our little house-warming). Top photo: Background is the actual kitchen and foreground is the "eat-in" part. Notice the fireplace. Odd placement, huh? We just had the chimney guy inspect it and it's good to go, so we will probably be cranking it up soon. The doorway on the left goes to the laundry/mud room off the garage.
Bottom photo: We love the long countertop. Don't know why they didn't leave an overhang for the barstools, but maybe we can do that. It's laminate so won't be expensive to just change that. Though it's a bit on the small side, it's more counter space than we had in Athens by far and we're enjoying eating in almost every night. The crockpot has gotten lots of use with our chowder experiments, each one delicious so far.
