Thanks for looking at this and sorry it's confusing. I don't see a blue line. Where is that?

To describe the doorsways: starting at the cabinets across from the island, the line on the lower left is the window side of the nook. The doors on the horizontal line below that is the pair of french doors (6') leading to the back yard. The door to the right (on the other side of the wall) would lead to the master bedroom suite. Moving up, the kitchen will be across from my office. This drawing shows a wide opening, but there will be pocket doors. Above that is the pantry, with a door. Not sure if I'm describing this well. Let me know. Thanks again for considering this.

So the nook will be in the lower left-hand corner of the diagram, with a window on the side (the 7' wall) and the french doors leading the the back yard (6' feet wide).

Oh, man! I meant to attach this. Der.

That helps. Blue line is about 8.5 feet. Red circle, window 7 feet. Orange circle double french doors 6 feet. Yellow circle, 2' 6" door to master suite. Green circle, 5' doorway to office (with pair of pocket doors).

Is the layout of the space--kitchen/windows/doors-- all set? Have you thought about swapping the locations of the backdoor and window?

I've got a kitchen nook in 67" x 30", so your space looks generous to me. I have a 41" x 30" pedestal table with bench seating because there's no room to pull out a chair. My set-up does overlap the adjacent doors slightly, one all the time, and one when someone sits at that end of the table. But it works. You have enough room for chairs.

Benje, nothing is set. We haven't applied for permits yet and are looking for ways to scale back the project to save money. That said, the french doors lead to the back yard which has the best view. If the doors were on the side, they would lead to a narrow side part of my yard, paved with concrete, and a view of my neighbor's house. My lot is narrow and deep, which is major constraint. But I hear what you are saying on having the table oriented that way.

Cawaps, thanks for your info. So you have your table right in front of the doors? Would you mind posting a photo? I've googled for pics and there aren't a lot like this with such a narrow space.

I’m not sure about the table, but if you can switch the sink and stove, you’ll have much better flow. Fridge to sink to stove.

Emily thanks. Interesting. I'd have to move the dishwasher too so it seems like the oven will need to be right next to the nook. I'd been hoping to have the area by the nook be open and light, when you walk into the room from the dining room. Maybe this plan isn't going to work at all. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks everyone. Just met with my proposed contractor and the cost of doing this bump out is what's driving up the cost. So I'm back to square one. Thanks for the feedback. I heart Houzz.
