Back in the Saddle - Kitchen pics

I am somewhat embarrassed by my lack of blogging, but please forgive me :) As most of you know we have had a lot going on in our lives. Painting our new house, packing, moving, the arrival of our foster daughter, and well just life in general has kept us all very busy. But we are almost settled in our new place and I know you guys are itching for pictures. Since I only posted 3 times in September, I am going to drag these out :) Not really...I only have a few rooms done.

Here are a few of the kitchen

This is the view looking from the entry to the kitchen from the dining room or entry hall. There will be a black filing cabinet for the printer to sit on soon. My desk with most likely never be cleaned off, but this is close enough! Not sure what to put over my desk, they had a TV but I don't need one in the kitchen...I don't cook enough :) I am considering getting rid of the baker's rack and Cory wants to build some sort of locker system for the boys. The door the garage is just to the left of the picture and so when they all come in from the car their backpacks, diaper bags, etc could go there.
Here is the view from the door to the garage. The laundry room is to the right not pictured and the door you see next to the fridge goes to the dining room. I will be replacing the curtain above the sink...not really into green gingham :)
This last one is from the back door. The door you see is a pantry and the left doorway goes to the dining room and the right goes to the hallway that goes by the front door.
