Pictures of the addition

This addition will house the kitchen, mud room, pantry, utility room, laundry room, linen closet, master bath, owner/manager living quarters. Upstairs will be two guest rooms, each with a bathroom. The door upstairs will go out to the terrace behind the house. If you're wondering why the walls aren't flush with the original house, the Historical Preservation Commission won't allow it.

Another excerpt from "Old Deadwood Days"

I thought this except was appropriate for this time of year:

Page 269--"Mrs. McPherson came down the hill…to the edge of our backyard wall and called to me. My bedroom was on a level with where she stood in the bushes that had turned crimson and gold. She was a dark-eyed blonde, and the afternoon sunlight bringing out the bright glints in her yellow hair made her look like the friendly peaceful spirit of Indian summer."

Help me design our dream kitchen

Here's the space where the new kitchen will be.  I don't have the dimensions yet, but it will be large.  Tell me what you have or would include in your "dream" kitchen.
