Oh I just love the pics of the new house! I am really bad at remodeling or decorating, but one thing I would do is paint the paneling. We had one wall paneled in our old house and I was simply amazed at how good it looked after I painted it. I loved being about to see the wood grain, even though it was off white. It will brighten up the house so much. I'd also put a nicer bar area between the dining and kitchen and I would paint or take out that paneling that is there now. I would leave it open at the top but put a half wall there with a snack bar that sticks out toward the dining room where I would put some bar stools for extra eating space. One side of our kitchen island sticks out and we have two bar stools there and I eat there a lot, even though we now have a little table in the kitchen as well as a table in the dining room.
