Your second pic/new plan is very difficult to read, even when I click to enlarge it. Does the graph I drew accurately reflect the measurements and changes to the old plan? If you could add or describe lengths of the walls and windows on it, it will be easier to help.

First, if that is your fridge in the corner, the door won't open against the wall far enough to allow you to remove the crispers for cleaning--the fridge doors must protrude past the stub wall. You could switch it with the cabinet to the left, but then you would have less room for the walkway between the island. (ETA, from your second option I see that the door opens right to left. See my next post.)

Second, is the red wall what you meant by making a corridor to block the view of the PR door?

Thank you mama goose, and yes, your drawing looks accurate (although the current TV room is approx 11 feet long - it would fit a 7 feet long bathroom and 4 ft pantry. Fridge placement would come out a bit as you say so that door opens. Where you have drawn the red line - yes, exactly. Potentially we could move the door of the powder room so the wall doesn't have to be so long (although - there is a window in that room that would then have to be moved, potentially, if the WC switches to the other side...)

You are welcome, Kate. Looking at both plans, I prefer the first one, with the extended hallway. Which do you like better? (I edited the drawing to adjust the pantry and powder room lengths.)

I think I prefer that one too. The other one seems a bit squished and doesn't really get the open plan feel we were looking for. I think I might prefer it even more if the red wall was a little shorter, and the door is more towards the entry - which makes it less of a corridor...

Easy copy and paste:

mamagoose - I moved this discussion to the kitchens forum and have put the powder room where the closet now is, eleminating need to put in that corridor and maintaining a sense of separate rooms with separate space.
