The study and the kitchen are in the two east corners of the house, the living and dining rooms are in the two west corners of the house. Can you picture this? I didn't think so. The floor plan creates this perfect circle of rooms that my children run laps around everyday around 4:30pm. I am told by previous inhabitants of our home that this childhood craziness has occurred for generations. It is comforting to know that my children are not the only wild ones. 
Front Hallway
Front Hallway from the opposite corner, study to left, front door straight ahead.
Living room.
The bookcase my dad made for us, stuffed full of books.
Sitting on the couch looking towards the front hall, stairs to go upstairs on the left, door into study on right.
Dining room complete with lovely built-ins. The middle section of cabinets we call the "homeschool cabinet". I love that our materials are so accessible, yet have doors to hide the paper explosion.
A detail of the family tree I made last winter, which was inspired by the project I found on the Mor-mom blog here. It hangs in the front hallway. I love it!

I think your house is beautiful. And I have many fond memories in those rooms too. That's it. I'm coming to visit.
I am so glad you posted a close up of the family tree. I LOVE that. I may commission you to do one for me. You know, in all your free time.
You have some of the comfiest looking furniture I have ever seen. I'm going to go sit on my very uncomfortable couch now. Thanks a lot.
One of those kids who used to run in crazy circles through the house was in church with his mom on Sunday. Funny to think of a grown man, older than I, in solidarity with Gus and Izzy. ;-)
I LOVE your built-in cabinetry in the dining room! In my home, where the built-ins would be is the door to another room which we use as a school room. And our living room, dining room, school room are on the right while the study, stairwell, kitchen, and laundry room (opposite the school room) are on the left.
Confused yet? And my kids use to run laps in our house the same way, now it is the younger cousins and friends who do it when they visit.
