If we were going to label, I'd label what is now called the "living room" as the family room, and the unlabeled existing space to the right of the entry, the "living room". I like this quite a bit better than your last round. I don't think you NEED more than 1 master bedroom wall for bed placement--just make sure it makes sense and you have enough room with that 1 placement. In both cases of the doors to the back deck, I'd change their door swing so they swing against the wall rather than out into room space when they are opened. On option I can see for your master entry, if you don't like what you have now, is to create a bit of a hallway entrance, and change your walkin closet to a set of wall wardrobes or reach in closets and pantry system... I think I might also try to at least have the option to close off the play room from the Entry by putting in a door (maybe barn door, if that goes with the rest of your interior decor)... I know it will probably usually be open, but having the option to close it off (by sound and visually) from what I am calling the LR, where I imagine I'd probably have it set up to be a quieter area of the house for adults (function similar to an away room), I might want to make sure the teen games are separated from the LR. I can't remember your children's ages, but I think if they were younger (7 and down) for a period of time, that that playroom wouldn't be used as a playroom for several years because it isn't close enough to you (they like to be close). But, IIRC, your kids are in that tween age category where they are moving out of needing to play near mom and probably wanting more separation. If that is the case, then they might like a play room (video game room) with more separation... Otherwise, I'd still suggest you switch the location of the boy room and the playroom. (I know that wasn't a thrilling suggestion before for your reasons)

grant-our main floor plan is nearly identical from kitchen through to the master. A couple things I noted while it was being built and now living in it. Just my opinions, FWIW. Foyer - you can see into the master from the front door. We don't have a lot of guests but it sounds like you will so that might be a bother to you. We just keep our door shut most of the time even though it's neat and tidy - it is private. Our foyer is kind of dark too so I wish I had a transom above the front door. Master bedroom - assuming the bed will be on the left wall there that person will be facing the bathroom door way at about head level. That's my 'spot' and I hate it as I am a side sleeper facing the alarm clock - bathroom. It bothers me so much that we don't actually use that door in the middle of the night but instead go out through the laundry and closet to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I have not once slept through dh walking around the bed right by my head and then opening and closing that door. I wish we'd have positioned our windows so we could choose between that wall and the back wall as entering the bathroom from the foot of the bed would have been much better and is how our old house was. May not bother you a bit but I thought I'd mention it. I *love* having access to the laundry off the master. It is so convenient. To get to the master bath from the living room you have to go around either way. You might enjoy having the door enter between the closet and bath? Ours started out like this one below and then we changed it for unrelated issues to more what you have drawn now and I think flow wise this one is better. BUT - with the plan the way yours is (and ours is now) our closet is never stuffy and that is a bonus. Any plans for a screened porch? I'd think there would be plenty of mosquitoes by the water. We are in the woods and put one off the dining room (where your guest area is) and use it constantly. I think I'd leave your great room size as is. Could you do a t-shaped island or something with food prep area on one side and seating on 2-3 sides on the other? Take that one to the kitchen forum - lots of kitchen geniuses over there.

Yeah - I think you need to change the prep sink to be the one between the fridge and the cooktop. Clean up should be the one in front of the windows - that way you will have clearly segregated prep / cooking / clean up areas and much more functions. Try "making" a meal. moving your fresh foods out of the fridge to the prep sink on the other side of the room, while moving right past a sink that is in line / order / on the way to the cooktop seems counterintuitive. I realize that with the uppers near the fridge - you want to put dishes in them and that is why the clean up area makes sense there -but I totally see you taking stuff out of the fridge, or trying to grab some cream to add to a sauce on the cooktop and tripping over the open DW while hubby is trying to clean up the dirty prep dishes. Maybe add drawers to the left of the (current) prep sink and put the DW on the right... I also see that the window placement is driving some of the decisions - that kitchen will be fabulously light filled (awesome) but it does make layout tricky. The only other option would be to try to move the fridge over to the right side somewhere if you wanted to keep that sink prep. But I'd change them - there's an awesome amount of prep space between the left side sink and the cooktop. My KD told me long ago that that real estate is the most valuable in a kitchen. I did not pay close attention. I curse myself every day....

Hey there, I have a somewhat similar set up, with an exit an hallway to the mudroom sort of cutting through the path between the main sink and oven and just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. Major caveat: our kitchen reno was not well planned out. Those who have seen my past posts know we made all sorts of mistakes so I'm calling out the below to help others avoid my (costly) mistakes. While I love having a triple window over my 36" farm sink, I would personally do it all over and put my main sink in the island so that I could have my oven and main sink across from one another. The biggest lesson I learned from my reno is I much prefer that set up as it's so efficient. Granted you have the prep sink in the island - I don't (and plan on putting one there one day.) I find it SUPER inconvenient to have the main sink far from the oven. Especially if you take the dishwasher out of the island, any time you bring your used pots and pans for cleaning your walking across a traffic area to get to the sink. Also, where are utensils and bowls and plates? My oven being far from my main sink is also far from my utensil drawer. Because most people put the utensils close to the dishwasher so when they unload the dishwasher every thing is together. So if I want to stir a pot of whatever on the range, I have to walk to go get the spoon which is near my dishwasher, not the oven. It's annoying. Just make sure (because no one told me this!) to think through how all your activities will work: loading, unloading dishwasher, set the table, filling pots with water AND dumping them, etc. :-)
