blue, Agree that we would like the range and hood to be more prominently displayed in the kitchen, but is having an island between the refrigerator and range worth moving the range a few feet? Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Any suggestions for your point about the left side of the island having a view of the powder room toilet? Shutting the door to the powder room :). I tried adding a leg to the island to create an L shaped island (see below), but I don't think I have enough room between the island and the refrigerator now. Thanks for the comment on the sofa table. We looked on Houzz at sofa tables and agree that a table would look nice there. We can move the sectional a couple feet closer to the TV to make room for the sofa table and ensure there is enough room between the table and sofa table (also have the table at four feet from the west wall so I could move it over a foot). Didn't realize our master suite was out of proportion to the rest of the house (2300 SF on main floor, 1300 SF on second floor). 21' x 13' for master bedroom a little wide? The sitting area really isn't necessary, but we wanted access to the back yard from the master bedroom. The closet is pretty big but we don't want to have to keep off season clothes, etc in different areas of the house. We have a fireplace in our current home that we've only used a few times in the 8 years we've been here. We'd rather have windows than a fireplace. Considered a two-way fireplace somewhere but felt it was money we could spend better elsewhere. Thanks for your suggestions.

If Silhouettes are too pricey or you need to be able to wash the window coverings easily, look at textured sheer curtains, shirred at 2.5-3x fullness. Textured sheers don't show pulls from cat claws or dog chewing as readily as plain weave, if that's a concern.

It's a Tudor with a turret. It's always going to be a Tudor with a turret. Do not paint the stone. This below is the whitest color scheme I have seen for a Tudor. I would definitely keep the black windows. They are perfect with your house. I would keep your color current scheme and invest is some complementary landscaping like you see below. Your lot is really lacking & 86 the globe balls lamp post. The property could look much better with landscape lighting.

Congratulations on your new log home! I have to agree with BeverlyFLADeziner. You have a lot of wood already. And faux wood beside real wood is NOT a good look. Instead, as she suggests, go for a stone/slate look on your floor. It will ground the space. I assume that you will use area rugs to soften the space (and mute the sound transmission in the space. Hard surfaces everywhere.). I would look at real stone or slate, or even the LVP that looks like it. Enjoy your new home!
