I would put a colorful runner in the entryway hall. I have one in an extra wide hall that looks great with the flooring. I’d also add some art which picks up colors from rug. I personally not too big on mirrors unless there is appropriate reflection - nice sunlight or great view. But end of halls is a common placement. Make sure it is ample size.

I would definitely remove the microwave and do a vent there. Not sure I’d put the microwave in place of the oven though. I’d probably put in in the island. Or a cabinet. What’s that white closet door? Pantry? Can we blow that out? And enlarge the entry to the DR? or can we replace with matching cabinets? Do you want a walk in pantry? Do you want to remove the entire wall - fridge, and bar area included for a more open feel? Also thinking maybe we can do some glass fronts on some of the cabinets. To add a more airy feel. These kinds of projects get expensive VERY quickly. My advice is to think this through, make some organized lists. Have a set budget and plan to do this right the first time round. If it means waiting until you can rework some of the layout and customize some finishes that’s the route I’d go for a space with such potential! Good luck!!

Thank you all for your commrntd snf thoughts do far! Those windows and the hidden trim bug me! They are master bedroom windows high on yhe wall as opposite wall has french doors to deck/lake. ive been using SW visualizer as well and like a dark charcoal for siding base and wonder anout adding vertical planks of grey barnwood for an accent somewhere on front. Also considering adding a metal roof bump out ( Im sure these have a proper name) over garage. Deck at front foor needs to be expanded or re-worked and also dont love the way the steps cut through retaining wall. More pics for my inspiration attachex

Check into Accoya real wood products. Its a pickled wood and that non-toxic process makes it impervious to termites and water. I used their dyed gray wood so when you cut it, the color is through out, so you can lightly sand any scratches that may happen. It never needs treating, staining, painting or maintenance with a 50 yr warranty. It will always be gray. Here it is on my house. It's one of my favorite things on my remodel.
