For Carl 2
I love the flow of the kitchen. Love the design of the island and how it flows toward the entertainment space with the possibility of seating on both sides. Love the two tiered look of the island and like how the sink is situated in the island (two sinks). Like the doors that take you right from the kitchen to the cooking area outside. Do not like the desk space that is shown in the kitchen.
Like where the staircase is positioned in the floor plan...click on picture to see more
I would like our great room to duplicate this one. Take the French doors out of the current design and place the fireplace with windows on that wall. I like the one set of French doors and how they are positioned out to the backyard. I would place the entertainment set up on the wall which houses the glass doors ( the wall which currently houses the fireplace in our existing plans). I love the way the dining space is part of the entertaining space but not intruding into it. I also love the way the kitchen island extends into the living space. This great room is only 20 x 20 in size but has a wonderful open feel with double story windows. I would feel comfortable sacrificing some of the great room square footage in our existing plan as long as the openness was established. I would still like to see the two story feeling carried into the kitchen area. I am also ok removing the French doors from the back of the kitchen and replacing with windows as in this design.
