Is that the dance floor or is there a kitchen island in the future?Kitchen.
Open floor plan, so this is me standing about where the dining room table goes. Kitchen to the right. Looking into the formal living room and front door.
lol. Plans had a small island there. It was stupid. Like 3 ft squared so it wouldn't get in the way of opening doors and walking paths. Our previous home and the rental that we are in now have less than optimal kitchen layouts. If more than one person is/was in it a fight almost breaks out! We won't have to worry about that here.Is that the dance floor or is there a kitchen island in the future?
I totally could have skipped the commode. 😆 In my drinking days it would have been an obstacle.Beautiful home.
I have to ask though, with a window that big and in that spot, did you even need the toilet there? 🤪
My Aunt has kinda sorta the same type thing and she went with a NICE portable butcher block kitchen cart she could move as needed … especially near her stove. That thing has drawers, pot hooks, etc that kept stuff handy as well as giving her work space. For gatherings she uses it as a buffet table/cart. But when she doesnt need it she can push it against the wall.lol. Plans had a small island there. It was stupid. Like 3 ft squared so it wouldn't get in the way of opening doors and walking paths.

I suggested something like that to my wife. It's always an option for later on.

The oak really popped with the clear poly on it. That floor and the screened in porch are my favorite features.I've really enjoyed this thread so far -- thanks for sharing. The hardwood looks amazing!
