Not the Appalachians--the Missouri Ozarks.  Taum Sauk Mountain, highest place in Missouri (at an *astounding* 1609') is about 5 miles to the south of me.  

 

The 'mountain' in the picture is called Pilot Knob, the site of a small but important Civil War battle.  

 

Here is a picture of my 'other' stove.  It is in the sunroom, and not working.

As this is proper place to post the pics of the new kitchen and dining room...here we go!  The kitchen pic is taken on an angle from the east end of the house. I have built-ins on both ends of the island. Perfect for lunch boxes, cookbooks and snack stuff for kids.  The island countertop is 1 7/8" maple.  The other countertop is soapstone. Love the veins!  Had the two plate racks custom made, and they mirror one another.  Lights are all LED.

The dining room is really an extension of the kitchen. ( The door you see there leads into the mastered/bath.)  The dining set was a gift from a dear friend, and is giving us the matching hutch as well. The little side table I picked up at an antique store on Friday.  

More pics to come, after the rest of the stairs get their wood flooring, and the furniture arrives.  End to end, this floor is roughly 78-80 feet long, and 26 ft wide; but, there is also a hallway behind the kitchen, with an additional 20' by 6' (or 8') section built on top of the root cellar- which houses the laundry room, and a guest bath.

I love the light in the dining room - and all the counter space in the kitchen.  It looks like a wonderful place to work and relax!

Gorgeous!  Great light and space.

 

Is that a BlueStar range I see there?

What a lovely kitchen and dining room! Someday, maybe I'll have a big kitchen I'll love cooking in. (I love cooking in my little one; it just has some shortcomings.)

Why, yes!  Yes, it is!  :D  LOL!   I think we have the same model, if I recall.  6 burner?  Convection fan.  17" backsplash.   Took 3 guys and an air jack to move it into place. Built like a tank.

Yup!

 

I love the thing. Tank is right. And so easy to keep clean.

 

Take care with the broiler. Hotter  than hell.

Love all of your kitchen photos. Thanks for sharing. It's so interesting to see everyone's work space. Here's ours. Our condo is in a three-decker in Boston built around 1910. Don't know the dimensions of the kitchen; although on the small side, it works well for us. The island is a John Boos butcher block we've had for about 16 years. Makes a great workspace for baking or pasta making. It also serves as our eat-in table. We have a separate dining room for larger gatherings. I've also added a couple photos of our pantry. We had very little usable space in the pantry area when we moved in (just a few shelves), so we worked with California Closets to design a shelving system. Oh, and those blankets on the floor are a stack of blankets where the dog likes to lie -- right in front of the spice and baking cabinets! I'm constantly sliding him around to get things out of there. He's so used to it now, he hardly moves.

@ElsieD Thank you. We debate about keeping the wood floor, but when it's clean and the sun hits it, it practically glows.

@lindag No, unfortunately not. It vents back into the kitchen. We rarely use it because it sounds like a jumbo jet getting ready for take off.

My setup is the same.  Tried every way to get a vent to the outside but no dice.

it's  the only thing about my kitchen that I don't like because it limits the way I cook due to the vapors and the smells.

I find that infuriating, especially in places where the range hood is on an outside wall and it would have been easy to do. SMH.

Yes, it is frustrating.  I was willing to do anything to get a proper hood but the range is on an inside wall in an inside room and there are bedrooms above.  It might have been possible to run a duct to the outside but the joists ran in the wrong direction.  

Maybe   in my next life.  What I do now is cook/fry the stinky stuff out on the deck when the weather is mild.

Yeah -- I would like an exterior venting fan. Not just for smells but for smoky cooking. I try to keep the stinky stuff to temperate temps when I can open the back door and the windows. Then again, we love our food, so we'll tolerate a little stinky cooking now and then for something yummy.
