Ouch, tough room. I assume you are not willing to take down the walls between the kitchen and laundry room and configure both spaces? I'm going to assume no and give you suggestions - if you come back and say yes, though, that may open a lot more possibilities, so be sure to let us know. Also, if you can repost with more and clearer measurements, I might be able to draw a layout for you. I am having a very hard time reading your measurements, and some are missing - lengths of all the walls, cabinetry runs, widths of doorways, etc. Regarding the distance issue, I can't read your measurements but you can refer to this NKBA Guideline: "Distance between Work Centers (Kitchen Triangle).. In a kitchen with three work centers the sum of the three traveled distances should total no more than 26' with no single leg of the triangle measuring less than 4 feet nor more than 9 feet." Do you meet that, or are you close to it? The second issue I see is that you have next to no actual prep space - if you added a prep sink to that run by the banquette that would help, but it's around the corner from the range and it would be better to consolidate your space. What I would really suggest is putting a little prep sink on your peninsula, right up against the fridge. It looks like you have maybe 45" on that space, and if you make the opening low enough so the counter can run right over it and into the DR a little, you will have a nice, deep (deep is important) prep space. Something like mamadadapaige's peninsula: She had a very tough layout and had to accommodate laundry in the space too - PLUS a chimney. Her space is not the same as yours but her layout is interesting and may spark ideas nonetheless. Alternatively, or in addition to doing that, you can deepen the sink/DW run by 6" to make that viable prep space. You can do this inexpensively by simply building a 2x6" frame, installing the cabinets against it, and running the counter over both. Or, you can do this less frugally by getting custom depth cabinetry. The reason I am harping on deeper counters, by the way, is that they are very superior for prep work. That is why so many put in islands and peninsulas, even without seating. I grew up in a home with a super tiny kitchen, but I didn't notice and cooking was always a pleasure. When we moved to a home with a technically larger kitchen, the standard depth counters, PLUS uppers in my face, made cooking much less nice. I basically stopped cooking! The third issue your planned prep space, where the old stove/oven space for prep. I see two problems with that. One is that you have no water source there, so you will not actually end up using it to prep. Again, that could be fixed by putting a small prep sink there. However, the second issue is that keeping cabinetry there makes the banquette area pretty useless and inaccessible. There is simply not room to fit a table because you have that run on the left squeezes the space too much - 5'9" (i can read that one) for a table plus room to squeeze by and get into the laundry room, all while carrying fully laundry baskets? No, especially if there are chairs on the other side of the table. You need to get rid of that run. I would end the stove run to be even with the wall and wouldn't turn the corner with it. Again, please post a layout with clearer and complete measurements, and let us know if you can move or remove any walls, or move any doorways - and which ones those might be. I have some ideas I would like to draw up for you. Here is a link that might be useful: NKBA's Thirty-One Kitchen Design Rules, Illustrated

You need professional design help NOW before you remuddle that amazing house. Most of it needs to be preserved. Just some tweaks.

Iron ore or even the urbane bronze will both look fine w/a brown roof because these are brown based colors wait and decide on a door color after everything is done. The hale navy would also be a great choice. if you do that, I'd pick a brighter green. that last green door color is as dull as dishwater! with the Romabio, you don't have to use the Classico. They have the Masonry 'paint' that you can have tinted to any color. it will give you a slightly heavier coverage than the lime wash so grab a sample of the classico, and and the masonry (have it tinted to whatever color you want or use the romabio standard colors,,,see chart below) and try them out to see what looks best. The masonry paint is permanent, but the classico can be hosed off within 72 hours. https://romabio.com/masonryflat/ I think they do have some of their stock colors though. This one is masonry Flat, and it's the Richmond White color This is the Beige on the Classico. I wouldn't use this color. it's too beige!

Sweet ! Its like a time warp back to my Mom's house circa 1975, complete with the harvest gold and the flowery upholstered arm chair! I agree the brick is a keeper, the straight no-nonsense rectangular look of it will fit nicely with modern decor/ current colors. I even like the kitchen cabinets - would be easy to stain a dark tobacco brown and find just the right retro hardware. The backsplash is to 1990s though so that would have to go! So much contemporary interior design takes its inspiration straight from this era - its worth considering what you can salvage/ re-purpose. Just dont attempt anything farm-housey with this and youll be good.
