Is this the room you posted pics of a few weeks ago; think you were asking about pink. I started painting my office yesterday. Was going to do a sage; but had a gallon of Behr Fossil Butte; which was my original color for the office that I decided was probably too dark. Asked my daughter; she said to go for it with the Fossil butte so I did the bump out. I'm tempted to paint the whole room this color but hub says no; so now I need to decide on a 2nd color. Of course I don't have the full card the color was on; so I'll have to run to depot later.

Just one side note, it was mostly DIY- all of the plumbing and tub installation was done by a plumber. And the plaster walls were resurfaced by a professional. They were pretty bad after removing the tile. And my husband wanted plaster not Sheetrock.

Here's what I came up with for both Kitchen seating -and- a Foyer "space". I recommend going ahead and doing both at this time so they can be designed to work together. That's assuming you want a simple foyer space and not something "grander". Are you planning to use IKEA or a different manufacturer? FYI...I put in the existing appliances so workflow can be seen. . Foyer: I put in walls that are 12" from the door trim. The studs in the walls are turned 90 degrees to gain a couple of inches of space overall. The overall width of the space is 63". One thing I suggest is opening up the side walls a bit to give a more open feel while keeping the feeling of separation b/w the front door and the rest of the home. I don't know the size of your front door, but I assumed 39", including 3" of trim on each side. Questions: Can you put a coat closet under the stairs? (Just a thought!) Are the stairs "open" to the rest of the floor or is there a wall on both sides? Our experience: We have 11.5" b/w our front door & the wall on one side and a 12"W sidelight on the other side with the stairs to the 2nd floor starting immediately after the sidelight. There is more than enough room for moving around at the door. 11.5" is also enough room for a 4-light switch panel. The only other difference is that our front door is 42"W, including door trim (36" door + 3" trim on each side). Based on what we have, I think the 63" I've shown will be plenty. Note: I'm guessing on many measurements since they were not included in your layouts. E.g., the width of the stairs, the distance b/w the front door & the Den. . Pantry ideas: Pantry storage...Note that I did not put a pantry cabinet in that corner. I did this for several reasons. A seat at the short end of the peninsula is going to get in the way, especially when you create a "foyer space". With a pantry cabinet back there, the aisle b/w the peninsula and right wall will need to be 44" b/c now there's pantry traffic passing behind the seats. Without the pantry cabinet, the aisle can be 36" or so (I made it 39" for a bit more space) Access to that cabinet would be awkward, IMO. Instead, I recommend moving the Laundry Room upstairs and using the now vacated W/D space for shallow pantry cabinets or shelving. I would opt for cabinets just b/c I think they would look nicer, but open shelving would work as well since this is not a public room. You may have to work around the pipes, etc., that you say are in the room. IKEA makes 15"D tall cabinets. You could, optionally, also add a shallow pantry cabinet b/w the new foyer wall and the window -- but not too wide b/c you need a decent aisle to get to the seats and you don't want too much crowding on that wall. I think putting your pantry storage in the Utility Room rather than off to the far right would bring your food storage a bit closer to the primary work zones in your Kitchen -- with fewer obstacles to go around to get to it. . Peninsula ideas: All 3 seats are on the long side of the peninsula -- for the reason I stated above. I put in a 39-inch aisle behind the seats for ease of access. You could probably reduce it to 36", but I wouldn't go any narrower. I show 4 corner options (the rest is the same): Option #1: 27" cabinet turned 90 degrees and facing outside the Kitchen Option #2: Voided corner. Option #3: Corner susan Option #4: IKEA corner susan. IKEA's 36" corner susan is really 38"x38" Which do I prefer? I don't have a clear preference. There are pros & cons to each, but I think they are all very doable and functional. I do know that in my old Kitchen, I stored all my pots & pans and colanders in our 36" corner susan. Others store their small appliances in corner susans. So, if you have a need for those types of storage, I would probably go with one of the of the corner susan options. The cabinet turned 90 degrees is probably not as useful in this situation b/c there's no other room on that side, just a wall, so the storage in that cabinet would not be located where it would be useful for another room. Option 1: . Option 2: . Option 3: . Option 4: .

May I ask a question? How much space have you allocated for your toilet? Is it 15” on center? 18”? 20”? My master bathroom is in need of a reno and yours is my inspiration for use of space. I have 84” to accommodate a shower and a toilet along a wall. I need to know the space you have permitted for your toilet. I hope you see this question…
