[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't tell what's happening because the picture is too small and the floorplans on the link are different. [/quote]

That said, I have a lot of thoughts and not enough to do today.

Powder Room:
I definitely think you should stack the stairs. I would keep a slightly larger powder room opposite the stairs and a nice closet (so I guess the far right floorplan from the blog but with a closet and powder room opposite the stairs).

When the powder room is on the side of the living room, it robs the room of its natural focal point which should be a nice wall of built-ins with the TV maybe cleverly hidden. I think it will make the living room feel like a hallway.

When the powder room is in between the kitchen and the living room it steals a window, keeps light from the back of the house from reaching the already dark living room and is too close to the food.

Kitchen:
Do you need the little peninsula and the bar seating? A nice wide opening is so nice. I hate looking up at the back of barstools from the living room. And peninsulas just collect crap. It's not even near your food prep area. I think there's maybe a little round table in one of these? So much better imo than the barstools.

I can't really tell what is happening in the kitchen but I think the no island options are better. UNLESS you were willing to keep the island design option but kill the benches and put a cool, substantial kitchen table in the middle of the room to serve as a low island/table. I love that. I haven't done the inches math of course but you could have one custom made. If not, no island, nice wide galley is good.

FWIW as posted here I would switch the sink and the fridge probably, but you should ask on Houzz because those betches love kitchen designs. [/quote]
