I love my friend Annie's dining room, especially the built-ins. The room is large and comfortable, conducive to long, happy dinner parties of all sizes. The view is great - it has windows all along one wall that look out over the porch and the woods. And it has a fireplace, which makes it very cozy in cold weather.
I am pretty sure that the first time I stepped into this room, our house-building project was set into motion. The built-ins run along an entire wall, as you can see, and provide not only storage/display space, but also a huge amount of sideboard room. This works as well for buffets as it does for sit-down dinners.
Annie's son, who does a lot of their cooking, likes the layout of the kitchen, especially the fact that there is plenty of room to chop things right next to the stove-top.
They've also got some good cabinet designs that they recommend - cookie sheet "filing" cabinets; broiling pan vertical storage just above the oven, and an "appliance garage" (I love that term) with a power outlet inside.
See?
