The bifold doors making your kitchen indoor outdoor is such a beautiful concept. Especially during the heat of the summers and hosting pool parties!
The formal dining room is such an amazing idea! You should do that! 😍
I love the idea of the formal dining room being in the front of the house.
Personally, I don't like the idea of putting the dining room right as you walk in. In my mind's eye, it disrupts the flow of the house. Also, and this is very much a personal issue for me and my family, the dining room would become the dumping ground for bags, boxes, etc. We had a formal dining room just off the front entrance in our last house and it always ended up as a catch-all.
Not a fan of the dining right by the front door. I would keep that living and put dining where your living is now.
What if the formal living area becomes the living room and the present living/family room is the dining? Love the house. Keep up the good work !!
This was SO MUCH FUN to watch I can't explain! I think entering to the dining room will make more sense when you open it up to the kitchen as you plan to.
I love the idea of the formal living room becoming your formal dining room. how beautiful that room with the fireplace will be in the holidays
You have a primary bedroom. An office for Romeo. An office for you and a guest room for family/later for the baby. So, you need another room somewhere 🤪and a playroom for those future children 👶👶unless you're hiding a room somewhere or space on the property for a guest bungalow 🏡
I personally would not like to walk into the Dining Area. I would use that area for my Living Room and the Living Room you have now change it to a Dining Room.
Yes to the dining room idea in the front room. Another idea I've seen is dual purpose dining rooms such as a library/formal dining room. With your love of dark and moody plus bookcase decor and old books...that has you written all over it! Looking forward to whatever you end up with!
So brilliant! I would really recommended keeping your sink where it is in your new plans. I think it’s too tight to have that close to the range. Also it’ll look so dreamy to do dishes looking out on the roses.
I love the formal dining room in the front of the house! You'll get such better use of the space :)
Love the Formal dining in front idea! Only thing I'd suggest is to keep the sink in front of window, making the island an unobstructed area to be a functional working island. Plus moving plumbing breaks the flooring if you don't have crawlspace access. Don't fix what isn't broken 😻
I could see the front room being the living room, your current living room becomes the dining room the the kitchen can be larger with a breakfast nook included. No added opening off the front room so you have more wall space. I love the planning and dreaming phase. :) good luck!
What about keeping the stove in the center island since the gas lines are already there-ish? And then keep the sink under the box window? Then you would also have a nice “triangle flow” between cook top, sink, and fridge! Btw, you’re my diy home inspo heroine. I hope to get to meet you one day!
I love the idea of opening up the kitchen and making it larger. However, I think the dining room would fit better where your living room is now located. That way when you have people over and you’re entering, they are not looking to your bedroom. The dining room would give additional privacy to your bedroom. I hope that makes sense.
I think this may be my favorite video you've ever done. I am so impressed by people who have an eye for redesigning spaces and have always wondered what the creative process was like. This helped me understand how to do this to my own space! I LOVE the idea of the front formal dining room. I mean a dining room with a fireplace, come on, that's so cool.
Yes!!! This is exactly what I have been thinking this whole time. Make entry formal dining and remove wall to create kitchen of your dreams! ❤ I bet you get the itch to do it sooner than later. It’s going to be great!
I love your eye for design, and believe you did an incredible job on the cottage kitchen. It was an excellent layout for the space. Knowing this is your first attempt and plan for this space. I’d kindly suggest you keep the sink in the window to utilize the work space of your island And to remains the charm of the window sink. My second suggestion would be to close the entry to the informal living and increase the wall space for a wall pantry (which avoids any tall cupboards and fridges in major sight lines). Which leads me to my last suggestion, when you mentioned durning the first half of the video a fridge (imagine panelled or otherwise) is not a great sight line when entering a door. So I would relocated your fridge to the left side of the current sinks location. Leaving a beautiful sight line to a large back wall for the stove workspace and some decorative cupboards. I hope this doesn’t come off too opinionated or a criticism, because sharing a vision is very hard to do. I’ve designed a few kitchens in very difficult spaces and I’m just trying to pass off some lessons I’ve learned. ❤❤❤
