A 12" overhand won't be very functional. I'm a visual person. Get out a ruler, sit in a chair, and put the end of the ruler even with your knees. Notice how much difference is left between where the granite will drop off, and you will begin? That's going to be uncomfortable to sit at, not to mention horrible for ergonomics. Builders like 12" overhangs because they (say) they don't have to support the overhang. Corbels will do wonders, and so will at least 3" more overhang. :) Your vent & cooktop look the same size. 42" hood is best paired with a 36" cooktop. I would probably move the microwave. It's either going to be opening into the wall, or into the vent hood, where it is now. I may have missed this - will you be adding a table in that big open area by the window? Or is the island your only seating? If your fridge is truly recessed that deeply into the wall (in your plan the wall protrudes past the fridge, so it would have a negative reveal, so to speak), then you won't be able to fully open the left fridge door. Looks like it's a good 4" - 6" difference. If you forget and try to open your door all the way, I'm afraid you'd dent your door and chip your corner.

Thanks for the help! The hall mirror is 9 feet tall. It came from my great grandparents house (who died before WW I) and was stashed gathering layers of coal dust in my grandparents attic for 80 years, until that house was sold 20 years ago. I got it because I was the only family member who had a ceiling tall enough for it and knew how to restore it (plus my Dad talked other family members into it!). The delicate looking settee and chairs are from the same great grandparents. I never met them nor my grandparents from my DadÂs family, so having their pieces makes me feel connected to my heritage. It was a large family so I feel very lucky to have what I do. 2 other chairs and a table are from my MomÂs family. I just learned how to post pictures this week so my stair runner has not been "featured" before. But thanks for your kind words! We replaced the wall to wall on the stairs a few years ago. We hoped the wood underneath would be decent enough to varnish but it was not. So we opted to paint with oil based and chose a wool runner that would go with all the current Persian carpets, all the rest of which are handmade wool or silk. This was just ordered from a regular carpet store and installed by them. I still want to glaze (or something) the banisters and spindles, as the builder used 1 coat of cheesy minwax on them in a dead color I donÂt like. But thatÂs a lot of surface area to cover and I donÂt know that IÂll ever get to it. I got halfway through moving furniture today before I got sidetracked. I went to the basement to get this beautiful large antique looking mirror I bought a few years ago and saved for this room when it was "ready". I wanted to see which wall it would look best on before I got too far ahead. When I unpacked it to show my husband I found the brass had corroded in spots like it was diseased. I wanted to clean it up right away so I could have his help to hang it: itÂs too heavy for one person to handle. I have this strong copper and brass cleaner that up to this point has always worked. But 6 hours later I was still cleaning it! So much for getting this room put to rights today. My feet are killing me from standing up cleaning that thing all day. Why is it that every project snowballs into something unforeseen??? Why canÂt I get anything DONE???

Because the sectional can be changed and for better tv viewing and traffic flow. Very rough sketch. Everything could move closer to the windows if you wanted to add a sofa table behind the entry couch leaving just a walkway in front of the windows. Or if room possible to add 2 smaller chairs with table between at the window with walkway in front of them. start with the rug centered a foot in front of the fireplace /tv wall and place the furniture from there.

thank you! I hadn't considered gray for the rug. I know it's neutral but wasn't sure about adding another prominent color. I had been looking at blue (navy) or red, but wasn't sure if I could pull off a geometric or striped pattern with the stripes on the one wall and the busy coverlet pattern.
