Let's get started...
OK, so as you're standing in the foyer, you're looking directly into our family room, where we spend a majority of our time. Notice our high windows? I love looking out them at night and seeing all the stars! I'm, also, enjoying all the leaves changing colors. You can see one of the big trees in our backyard.
As you turn the corner, you're looking right into the kitchen. I really like how it's so open. I've spent countless hours in there slaving over a hot stove!! :)
Here's a closer look...
If you're standing in the kitchen and you turn around, you see this view of our family room. Right above, you see the balconey that runs the whole length across. To the left is the girls' rooms and to the opposite end is the master bedroom and an office.
We have a sunroom, which is right off our kitchen. As you can see, I love to grow plants! At last count, I have a grand total of 22! African violets are my favorite. We always move that little table in front of the window, along with the green chair, and put our Christmas tree in that spot. It's a 10-footer, so we need plenty of space. It's so pretty at night because the lights illuminate the entire room.
This is the view into the family room and part of the kitchen when you're standing in the sunroom.
Another perspective...
Here's the view you see when you stand out on our back deck, which is right outside our sunroom... I love it! It's one of my favorite spots to sit and read a book in the summertime. Of course, with all of our big trees, you wouldn't believe the amount of leaves we get every fall in our backyard!!
Well, that's it for today! Hope you enjoyed our tour. I'll try to finish things up next week sometime. We're still working on getting Chris' office done, so once that happens, I can post more pictures. Stay tuned till next time!! Thanks for stopping by!!

What a gorgeous home!!! And I love windows too. Can't ever have too many windows. :) Not sure about your spacing problem. :(
Beautiful home April. I especially love your backyard view! Those are actually spaces at the end of your document. It has been happening to me to. I think it happens when you download your pictures in your draft. I just put my cursor at the end (in draft) and hit the delete key until they were gone.
Very beautiful!!! Your floor plan is a lot like mine. My living room windows are just like yours!
Kathy,
I did just as you suggested and the space is gone! Woo Hoo! Thanks a bunch!
Your home is just beautiful!!! But, your backyard is dreamy...do you live on a lake you can swim and boat on?? Just wonderful! You should host a blog weekend:)!

Hi April I love the tour-what a beautiful open floor plan. I love your backyard view of the lake too. I think I'd spend all my time in the sunroom! You'll have to show us how it looks when you decorate for Christmas!
Wow. Just like last week, I have LOVED looking at your house. It is gorgeous!!!
I wish I could rebuild. I absolutely love my neighborhood, but I have never been 100 percent pleased with the way my house turned out. I wish I could do it all over again, just in the same place...
You have a beautiful one. I can't wait til next week.
Thank you for stopping by my blog :) Oh I just love your home :) It is so pretty & I especially love your back yard. :)
Hi April
Thanks so much for the tour. You truly do have the most wonderful house. Can I ask, did you plan/design it yourselves? I would never tire of that view of the lake. I love your high ceilings and your lovely big kitchen. The sun room is gorgeous - can't wait to see your Christmas tree in there. You are so lucky. Your home is my dream.
