First Floor - kitchen & dining room pics



My kitchen is sort of horseshoe shaped. In a total sense, it's pretty big for Asian kitchens, but its configuration still makes it workable for only one person at a time to be in one given area. The above on the left is of my corner "pantry" area, and the right picture is the back of the kitchen with our water and basically junk. Behind me (not in the pictures) is a small laundry room. Below are the forward pics of my kitchen. The cabinets are high, too high for me - I need a stool to reach anything over the 2nd shelf from bottom. There seems to be lots of storage space, but certainly not what we're used to in the US. Many things, especially 110 volt appliances, are stored on my 3rd floor.



This area is a pic of my dining room. Like most places with kids, even my general living space has kid stuff. Morgan does have a booster seat in the dining room and a portable seat in the kitchen, but lately she prefers sitting at her Ikea table. If we're not eating together as a family, she usually eats there. The dining table came with the house - we hate it! But the buffet table in the back is one of our purchases here in Shanghai.
