I’m not sure how often. It is still being built. Lol. I want it to be a comfortable bed and I’m not sure if Murphy beds are. I was thinking of queen size bed and reclining loveseat on the same wall and the tv in the nook. It will be tight though.

And, the Kitchen/Dining Room layout - two major options for now. Layouts 1a & 1b are basically the same, the only difference is the orientation of the table. I have a couple of more ideas, but I don't have time right now to work them up and, besides, if you aren't OK with general layout, they will all probably need to be re-worked. I have no idea where the windows are, so I worked with what I had and assumed windows all along the bottom wall - that's why there are no upper cabinets along that wall. If you can pinpoint the windows for us (i.e., measurements!), I can adjust appropriately. . .

Thank you, I will do a drawing. I don't thnk there is any other place for the piano, Placing it on the wall opposite the FP would block the path to the door that is on the wall with the windows.Maybe remove the curio and place both chairs and an end table on the wall where the sofa table is and sofa across fron the love seat as you suggested.

@HU-828609519 What @Connecticut Yankeeeee is suggesting is really something worth thinking about. Removing the FP would sure open up your living space in that room. Of course, you’ll need to make that decision before your new flooring is installed. But, think of the possibilities! We opted out of having a FP in our current home when it was being built. We had 2 in our last home, both gas. We rarely used either of them. Our current home is a down size from our last one, has an open plan so has fewer walls. We opted to use the space the FP would occupy for a beloved cabinet that was making the move with us. Not one person has ever said OMG where’s your FP! And, I’m in PNW so we do have seasons & cold in winters. We’ve never regretted our decision to nix FP. If we need the ambiance of flame, there’s always the FP option on cable TV & we have used that during holidays. It’s sort of cool with even the crackling sound of wood logs burning. I’d give that removal of FP suggestion very serious thought.
