Walls of first floor

The first and second pictures are taken from the back of the house. You can see the bump out that is part of the kitchen and where a table will sit. The room next to the kitchen (in the back) will be the study. It will have a nice set of windows and door to the backyard.
This picture is the sunken family room. The big opening will house 2 in-swing French doors totaling 6'wide and 8'tall! There is great sun from this side. It will eventually open onto a beautiful stone patio. We will use stones from around the property and from the blasting. The two front windows will look out onto the 8' screened farmers porch.
Here we have the front door entrance, although the ell entrance will be used more often. Basically this is the kitchen. The corner windows represent the location of the sink. The long wall will house a double wall oven, refridgerator, range top and some counter space. There will also be a wood island (hopefully we can use the tiger maple that was cut down from the property). As you walk in from the front door there will be a wood stove with a stoned face (yes more stone from the property) going up. The stairs will be behind the wood stove and come down into the kitchen. A butlers pantry will be tucked under the stairs as well. This will all make more sense as we move along.
And now we have the basic box plus some Typar. Keep in mind the wrap around farmers porch!
