First floor interior walls

It rained today, so the crew stayed inside and worked on interior walls on the first floor.

The dining area, as seen from the kitchen:

The guys are going to build in an L-shaped seat on the wall to the left and under the window.  We’re putting a long table there and think we’ll be able to seat 8-10 (or more if it’s the children and their friends) around the table.

The half bathroom, also as seen from the kitchen:

Okay, turning around and facing toward the back of the house, here’s the kitchen as seen from the dining area:

The cabinets and appliances will go on the back wall and to the right.  In the foreground will be a 7′ long peninsula.  The pantry is on the left.

Here’s the pantry:

The dark vertical stripes are for the pocket door.  Yes, a pocket door.  I know.  I love it too.  The pantry is around 4′ X 10′, which I’m thinking SHOULD be large enough to hold just about anything I can imagine.  (Beyond the pantry, in the back corner, is the study.)

Just for kicks, here is a rough illustration of what the kitchen will look like:

You can totally see my vision for this room, right?

So now it’s Friday evening and the crew will have a well-deserved break for the weekend.  On Monday, they’ll finish some framing in the foyer.  After that, I’m not sure if they’ll build temporary stairs to the second floor or start framing upstairs.
