This is where we live in Amman, Jordan. This house is for the Defense Attache. The owner/builder lives upstairs and we have the ground floor. Most all the houses in Amman are built of white limestone. It is the same in Jerusalem. It is plentiful in this area. It makes it a little difficult to find people's houses sometimes because everything looks the same. Notice the front sidewalk. The Jordanians go to extravagant lengths to put sidewalks in front of their houses.... and then plant BIG trees, right smack dab in the middle, so they are unusable.
This is the formal living room or representational room as it is called in the attache world. It is about 30ft x 30 ft... almost a perfect square, with an 8 ft bump out on one side and a 4 ft bump out on the other side. I can seat 20-35 comfortably. There are actually 3 complete living room sets. It's quite an elegant room, as you can see. I bought Lane the room divider for Christmas. He has been wanting one for quite a while.
This is one view of our large Kitchen. There are times when I use every square inch of the abundant counter space. This room is about 17 x 20. I'm glad we have a maid who daily washes all the white tile floors! There is a guest bathroom and powder room through the door to the left. The back door is in the recessed area in the shadows. The sliding door goes to the pool area where much of the entertaining is done, especially in nice weather.
This is the room we actually live in... the office. It LOOKS lived in, huh! School, computers, sewing machine, books are all in this room. It's the heart of the house.
This is dad's closet. The section on the right holds his attache clothes, the section next to it is his military wardrobe and to the far left are his civilian clothes.
This is the LONNGG hall going from the Master BR to the office. It is 60 feet to get out of bed and dash to the phone. Sometimes I don't make it. All the closets on the left are my closets. The top portions hold extra food and flower arrangements. Lane is standing at the door of the master bedroom looking down towards the office. There are 2 more bedrooms on the right side for Jeremy and Jared. I guess there is a limit as to how many photo's you can do at once. I'll have to complete the tour next time.
