Azmom, you do not have your email enabled on your profile. Therefore, I am unable to respond directly to your request for assistance. I will respond here, so that others may have the benefit of the information as well. First of all, for your island, it will not be used at all unless you do have a water source on it. The primary prep zone in any kitchen is between water and fire and adjacent to the storage. That's the tiny corner between your sink and the range. UNLESS you put a prep sink on the island. When you do that, and it doesn't have to be anything larger than 14", that transforms the island into the primary prep space with you facing out towards those who are seated there rather than you standing with your face in the corner and your back to the guests. The square shape that Holly suggested could work and adds additional storage. I think the important takeaway from that is to have the "working " portion of the aisle facing the fridge and cooking surface. That minimizes your walking all over the kitchen to prepare a meal. A larger kitchen isn't a better kitchen, unless it's designed to be. Putting an island in the middle of a kitchen makes it less efficient, not more efficient---unless that island is in the right spot, with the right orientation, and has a water source on it. A large chunky island looks appropriate to the space,and I think the square works (especially with some nice chunky legs to make it more of a "table") but you could just make the island narrower and oriented left to right instead of top to bottom. Here is one tweak to Holly's plan that I might make if you are OK with walking further in your prep, but only if you are willing to use a counter depth refrigerator or a built in one. Refrigerators belong on the perimeter of the kitchen space so that they can be accessed by those coming into the space without crossing your prep space. It's the busiest spot in the kitchen, and you have to have enough room for everyone to have that access. Whether or not you want to swap the wall oven with the fridge will depend on how often you use the wall oven for cooking. If you frequently sear something and then put it in the oven to finish, the range suggestion would be a good one. Or have the range be on the same run as the cooktop with the fridge across the aisle. If you are more into getting out fresh veggies and preparing them for a meal, then leaving Holly's plan alone might be the best layot for you. Either depends on having the prep sink there so that you actually use the island. Without a prep sink on the island, you're creating more work, more steps, and you'll default to just prepping in the corner.

I'm not a great fan of the fridge location, because of 1) that area is the best dish storage location 2) the fridge is a tall block between the kitchen and the window or doors you might have on the other side 3) you walk through the 'cleanup zone' to get to the fridge while cooking and any/everyone in the kitchen is, therefore, working and traveling in that same aisle. I would prefer the fridge back over by the broom closet, but I know there are other pluses and minuses with that and some personal preference in choosing the right location for your family. However, I think where you do have a problem that's not personal preference is the size of the aisle behind the seats at the island. It looks like you need to narrow the island a bit...Maybe the 2 ft of cabinets facing the sink and only 15" for seating overhang so that your aisle is roomier when people are at the island.

I'm assuming your FIL will be residing in bedroom 4. Maybe switch his bedroom and bathroom to the media room area since it is on the corner and has the ability for windows on 2 sides and better light. You could also add an exterior private entrance. Then place the study where Bedroom 4 was and the media room where the study was. That way, the media room would be away from the FIL's room and noise would not be an issue. The media room would also be the darker room. As others have noted above, I think the living room and kitchen are going to be dark and cave-like. You indicated you wanted a ranch - is the lot big enough to put a wider house on it? Is this the only 4 bedroom, 4 bath plan the builder has?

After not reading the other suggestions....I would suggest another way to look at it is ....most people are gravitating to smaller cars...and...is it possible to add a carport?...I think an added bath will be a bigger incentive than a bigger garage to most buyers...
