My new kitchen won't have a window at all! :)

The real Canadian Superstore and a Ford Dealership, lol. Not on a main road here but close. :)

This was taken while the kitchen was still very much a work in progress . .. note the fancy blue tape pulls (we do now have actual pulls). . . No filters, no editing, just an iPhone at the right moment.

Gosh - I am so jealous of that picture szruns!
I have a south exposure but see a spruce tree and beyond that is a side street. I see a lot of cardinals and other birds in the spruce tree but minor league compared to a real view.

When I met with the KD and she asked what I wanted in my kitchen - I pulled up a picture showing mountains in the background. I thought she was going to fall over from laughing with me.

Yeonasky - Is that a Canadian tire you can see - LOL - I just put together my roof rake that I bought last year while in the Soo. Never thought I would really need it in A2 - but 18 inches of snow plus more possible - figured I might as well try it. I did the some assembly required today so I can capture it tomorrow.

Still a work in progress. Just finishing drywall - cabinets arrive in a week! This is the view to my back yard and open space beyond. Can't wait until this kitchen is complete!

My sink will face the 35" wall between two large counter height windows.It had been in front of one of the windows, typical location, but for many years I rarely opened the shutters because my unavoidable view was into the neighbor's house. Even at 60' away it felt as if I was looking into their private space. Since right now the sink is still in front of that window (which was lowered to match the other window) there is no window covering. I know the neighbors feel the same about my view into their home (although I know they do not think I'm spying) because for the first time they have loosed the curtains to cover their window.
Having the wall in front of me is not a negative. Standing in front of where the sink will be I have great angled views of our deep woodsy front and back yards. No people, no structures, just dogs and critters.

Mine is a new build and it won't be completed until June, but here is the view out the kitchen window. I can't wait to stare out every day!

The neighbor's roof and rain gutter ten feet away;), our fence covered in Jasmine, a flowering Pear tree, and a wonderful Southeast sunlight exposure...

Taken during construction. No, its not real, its a target.

No A2gemini it's a Canadian grocery store and more. :) No snow here this year, not even in the usual places. Even Whistler, where people ski, is snow challenged.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:2144690}}

My view is my backyard. It will, one day, look wonderful but I dare not post a picture of it in its current state.

All the remodeling and trucks, trailers, debris, etc has left it a barren area with nothing but a swing set.

I can watch my kids play, which was a major goal, and eventually, we will landscape the backyard.

I have visions of shaded trees, raised flower beds and lush grass. One day...one day.

Others might have a better view, but for the shear quantity of view, my kitchen is hard to beat.

The windows over the sink looking out over the front yard.

and the view over the peninsula

It really helps to have a view when doing the dishes!
52runs~ what a sunset! My views are east facing. Luckily I get up early and can enjoy those sunrises!
bob_cville~ I lovelovelove the bank of windows over your sink. Do they open? We are just in the beginning stages of a huge makeover! But this will be the view from the kitchen soon (I hope)! I just need to define soon~ 6 mos? 8 mos?

No windows = no view :D

I am so enjoying the winter view from our new bank of windows. The amount of light in the kitchen has been amazing.

This is from the bedroom, but it's the same view from the kitchen, just about 20 feet over.

This is part of my view last summer.

Wow, some amazing views! I thought mine were really good until I saw what some of you see. But here goes anyway:

South window: Yeah, you see some of the mess of remodeling reflecting in the window.

East window, the neighbor's house and both of our side gardens. Nobody actually lives there full-time. When the parents passed on, their children kept the home so they could come back to the area to visit and enjoy the nearby beaches, visit friends, etc. It's been quite a few years now and we're allowed to use the yard to play with the dog and such so I almost see it as being a part of our own yard, lol. If they ever sell, I'll miss having such quiet neighbors, lol.

I'm a bit jealous of the snowy views. That's something that I will never have unless I am on vacation! jstell2008~ did you create your stream! What a fabulous addition to your space!

I live in a midwestern, small, suburban city with homes that 80 to 120 years old. The houses are all really close together. I only see in to my neighbors kitchen window about 25' away. Good thing I adore my neighbors...we wave all the time! I don't have a kitchen window view, but here is my street during the Fall.

jhogan..... Yes, my husband built the stream two summers ago. All the rock came from our property. I love it....in the warm weather. In the winter, it is just rocks.

Here is a view while it is snowing. You can see the top part of our stream in the lower left of the picture.

Love these views!
