Okay, okay you win. You guys keep emailing and commenting that you want to see more of our new house. It still feels really unsettled and needs a lot more paint, but I’ll share a bit of what we have so far. I probably won’t do a full house tour, but I’m happy to share a few of our favorite spots. It comes as no surprise that one of those is – the kitchen!
The kitchen was a major selling point for this house, and honestly I still can’t believe that it’s mine. It is big and gorgeous and I feel lucky to cook in it every single day! Let’s dive right into the tour…
The wall closest to the entry is what I keep referring to as “the business center.” Not sure why I feel the need to give the spot for bananas and cell phone chargers such a formal name, but here she is…
It’s pretty much the landing zone for all our crap – mail, keys, sunglasses, camera, loose change, pacifiers, etc. There are some cabinets above that are currently housing our cookbooks, at least until I find a better way to display and organize them.
Moving right along – next to the business center is our fridge. When we looked at this house, this space was empty. But we were able to negotiate and have the seller add one before we moved in. I was so so excited to get a French door fridge!
Bursting with food right now. I spent three hours going to two different grocery stores yesterday. No one is allowed to complain that there is nothing to eat.
Next to the fridge is our gigantic pantry. I have never had a pantry in my entire life! I wasted no time filling it up…
We have lived in really small spaces for a few years, and storage has always been a big issue. I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who stockpiles pantry goods, but have never had the space to do so. Now I do one big pantry stock-up trip each month, getting all the grains, canned goods, oils, etc. that we need. It’s so nice to be able to buy extra!
All our grains and dry goods are still in ball jars. I am really testing the weight limit of this shelf.
Above that is canned goods. I try to always have a variety of beans on hand, as well as soups for fast lunches.
Right inside the door, you’ll find all my oils and vinegars. I’m in and out of this area all the time, so I wanted it to be as accessible as possible.
You may remember from our previous kitchens in both Old Town and Fremont, we had some metal shelves with our spice racks hanging below. The shelves aren’t really needed anymore since we have the pantry space, but I didn’t want to lose the easy organization of all my most frequently used spices. I bought two small bars and hung the spice racks on the inside of the pantry door – works perfectly!
The middle of the kitchen is taken up by a gigantic center island, complete with gas cooktop!
The stove looks out over the living room, which is really great for keeping an eye on Cullen, or just talking with Casey while I cook. Cooking here gives me culinary school flashbacks.
Underneath the stove, I have room for taller appliances that don’t fit into shelves. I also have my most frequently used sauté pans here for easy access.
The island also houses a few big drawers. Cullen has just started pulling up on drawers and trying to discover what’s inside. I filled the lowest ones with baby-friendly things like bottles and dishtowels. He loves opening this one and throwing all the bottles on the ground.
On the back counter, I have my cutting board station directly across from the stove. This makes it easy to chop veggies and then add them to pots and pans quickly. I always have oil, salt, and pepper out on the counter.
The far side of the kitchen houses our oven and microwave, along with the dishwasher and coffee station. The cabinet above the coffee maker holds all our mugs, coffee, filters, and other coffee accessories. I love having a dedicated space for all that stuff.
We have a good amount of counter space, but I still tried to prioritize which appliances would stay out, and which ones would get shelved. Making the final cut – the rice cooker, juicer, Vitamix, toaster, and Soda Stream. We use all of these almost daily, and it’s great to not have to lug them out each time.
We also have a nice DEEP sink! You can’t even tell from this photo that it’s actually full of dishes. Quite literally a dirty secret.
Perhaps my favorite feature of all – pull out trash cans! So simple, yet so convenient. I love having separate cans for trash and recycling, and these are tucked away from curious dogs and babies.
Here’s the full picture. We usually have a big vase of flowers on the center island, but we didn’t make it to the farmer’s market last week. Cullen loves to do laps around this island!
Beyond the kitchen, we have a pretty open floor plan. The kitchen looks out onto our living room, which is next on our list of rooms to paint. I’d like to get some color in here to liven it up a little! We also haven’t hung anything on the walls yet (the mirror is temporarily propped up there).
The other side of the living room holds the TV, and a console table full of baskets that Cullen loves to climb and pull down.
Behind the living room is our sunny dining room! We stayed up several nights last week past midnight getting this room painted and finished. I love the burnt orange color – it makes the white trim really stand out.
The dining room leads out onto our patio and yard. I think Huey would like to be let outside.
And of course, the focal point of any young household – a jumperoo! This giant hunk of plastic is centered right in our living space, but it’s only temporary and it serves a good purpose. It’s not like we’re trying to pretend there is no baby living here!
So there you have it – our kitchen and living space. It’s still a work in progress. Like I said, I’d like to add more color and accents, but that will come with time and savings.
My hope is to show you Cullen’s nursery sooner than later, but that means I have to decide where to hang things on the walls. It’s been a month and I’m still over-thinking it! Maybe this weekend…

What a beautiful home! Your kitchen is amazing, I love how open it is! I’ve never had a pantry either, I dream of having one some day!
[Reply]
Wow, that IS a dream kitchen! The one in my apartment already made me happy because it had stainless steel sinks, granite counters, and lots of cupboard space (never mind that the storage spaces are old). Isn’t it amazing how important kitchens are?
[Reply]
I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced kitchen envy so badly before! I can just imagine Cullen sitting at the center island when he’s older to watch and help you cook. What a great setup!

Beautiful house – and I love your Alton Brown “sodium chloride containment unit”. I have one too and love it!

Beautiful kitchen! I love white kitchens. We moved a couple months ago (from a condo), and I am LOVING all the space. I finally have a pantry and a place to store all those crazy appliances. No more storing things in the basement, except for my canning supplies. The only thing I don’t love is the side-by-side fridge because I can’t fit much in it after beer and two kinds of soda (all not mine). Can’t wait to upgrade to french doors.
[Reply]
your home is absolutely gorgeous! I love how simple, yet homey it is. Super jealous of the kitchen!
[Reply]
That is an AMAZING kitchen! I love how much space you have and I’m totally jealous of the pantry! I can picture Cullen riding his bike around and around that island…it’ll be here before you know it!
I also love all the natural light in the dining room!
I did notice the canned goods in your pantry and have to suggest getting a Cansolidator or two to help keep it all organized easily. I sell them for a great price. The Cansolidator Cupboard holds 20 cans. The Cansolidator Pantry holds 40 cans. The difference is the depth (abt 10″ for the Cupboard version and 16.5″ for the pantry version). Check them out http://ImTHRIVing.shelfreliance.com/all-products/frs-food-rotation-systems/the-cansolidator-series.html.

I agree, they are wonderful and I’d love to help you get some! The Cansolidators are one of the first things that attracted me to Shelf Reliance, along with the THRIVE Freeze dried foods and dreaming of the standalone shelves.
Be sure to measure your space before you order – the pantry size holds more than the cupboard size, but only if it fits on the shelf. I actually blogged about the Cansolidators today (http://imthriving.blogspot.com/2012/06/giveaway-winner-followup-cansolidator.html). They are shipped directly to you via FedEx.
With your love of whole grains, you might also want to check out THRIVE Foods while you’re on the webstore.

“Can” I add that I have the cansolidator and love it! I have 3 children and my kids love coming home from shopping and putting away the cans. We have been in our new house 8 months and my husband still hasn’t cut the piece of wood that runs up the middle of the shelf yet, then I will need to add a couple more spacer bars to complete it. Makes me feel very organized.

Wow! This comment has generated quite a few hits to my online store! Thank you all so much! I realized, though, that unless you click on the individual Cansolidator you’re interested in, you’re not seeing the better price you can get on these through the webstore. The Cansolidator Cupboard is $19.88 and the Cansolidator Pantry is $21.92.
Thanks Tami for the testimonial about the Cansolidator!

Love love LOVE your kitchen! As a talented chef, can you recommend good, safe pans for us to use? I am in need of buying new ones and would love to wait until we get married to order them, but also know that we need them sooner than later. And obviously trying to be conscious of the surface and the things they coat these pans with that might be hazardous to our health…
Oh and I can just imagine Cullen throwing all the bottles on the floor and loving it.

How wonderful! From your blog I can see that you find great joy in the kitchen, how awesome to have a beautiful/spacious one at that. I love how it’s so open to your living area!

Beautiful kitchen! My mom has her ventilated pantry shelves lined w/ light fiberboard that can be easily wiped off if there are spills or crumbs. I have mine lined w/ plastic placemats since the ventilated shelving is PITA to clean. No matter how clean, it always seems to get dirty. Just something to think about …

Gorgeous! I love it. What did you do about painting Cullen’s room? We just moved to a new house and I have been putting off painting Emmie’s room because I am worried about exposing her to the fumes (even using Behr paint, which is supposed to be low VOC).

Emily Malone Reply:
June 14th, 2012 at 9:04 am
We got Olympic NO VOC paint from Lowe’s, but I have to warn you – the paint SUCKED. It took almost four coats to cover the color underneath since the paint was so thin. Worth it for no fumes, but it was a lot of work!

I LOVE your new home!! I actually really liked how cute and light your last home was too. Your style is always simple and impeccable:). The only thing is that some reason I really want to center that TV on the console and move the console a few inches to the right.

I want to move into your house! Clean, simple, organized, beautiful. It looks straight out of a magazine. Come help me with my house please!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a kitchen before so close to my dream kitchen (may only be missing a beautiful bold paint color and an espresso machine ;) ). This is a gorgeous room! Enjoy!

Your kitchen is BEAUTIFUL! What a fun space. I was wondering: where did you buy the organizer for your saute pans? I’ve been frustrated with my organizational system for our pots and pans (a huge jumbled pile that tips over and clangs and bangs) for a very long time.

This is a random question, but where did you get your coffee table? I love the style and color!

It’s the Pottery Barn Hyde table, but the color is rustic pine (which I think they don’t make anymore…).

Your console table, what colour did you choose, we are looking to use it for our TV too and your picture is the first I have come across doing the same!
I am just not sure what colour of unit to get, it is nice to see it in situ!
