New Build, Like floorplan except kitchen

11 years ago

Desperatly need help. We found a floor plan we like [well except kitchen/morning room]. Need kitchen, island pantry, mudroom.

even with contalever 3' we are not crazy about layout. Builder loves "morning room" but I am not so sure we need it.

Hoping someone may have an idea. House is in the planning stage, so anything can be modified [within a reason].

Put the table in the "morning room" area and get rid of the cantilever. Then rework the kitchen layout from there.

What pal said. Who cares what your builder likes anyway? Then rework the kitchen with help from the kitchens forum. They rock over there and will help you get a functional layout. I'd post it with a full first floor plan so they can see how rooms connect. You might want more wall in the kitchen for more cabinets (e.g., smaller opening to what I'm assuming is the family room.)

Definitely remember it's your house and not your builders as chicagoans said. I think sometimes they can get to liking something they find to be a novelty but it may not work for you and your real life living. I second the take it over to kitchens remark. You'll get a lot of feedback on function.
