I played with your plan a wee bit, turning the laundry room and baking pantry on their sides and moving your kitchen appliances around quite a bit. =) Both laundry room and baking pantry are wider in this plan, which means that you have better aisles in both spaces. I didn't realize until I working on your plan how narrow your baking pantry was. If you were spec'ing standard depth counters & cabs along one wall and 12" cabs on the other, you're left with less than 29" for the aisle. That's fine if you don't intend to work in their but since it sounds like you want to do baking prep in here, that's not going to work well at all, especially if you want your kids to help you. My plan does mean no window in your laundry room but you could always add clerestory windows between baking pantry and laundry room to let light flow from one to the other, like they did between spaces in this home. Okay, into the kitchen. I removed the wing walls on each side of the dining area so that you're not pinched for space around the table. However, as I wrote above, if you want to keep the walls, you can bump the space out instead. I moved the fridge out of the corner and against the pantry wall. That puts it close to your baking center; shorter walks to get eggs, butter, etc. I moved your clean up sink and 2 DWs to the wall next to the fridge. Here are inspiration pics for sinks against walls, not under windows. Moving the clean-up zone, opened up space to move the range top and hood to an exterior wall. Since you're concerned about noise, you should definitely look into adding an remote blower to your hood. This runs ducting up the exterior wall to your roof where your blower will sit. You'll cut noise quite a bit. I moved the ovens to right next to the baking pantry door so it's an shorter walk with pans of batter. I added a prep sink to your island to give you a good work zone between pantry, fridge and range top. The downside of this plan is that it puts the clean-up sink and dish storage the farthest from the dining area. It also means that anyone wanting to grab last minute items from the fridge to bring to the table will walk through the cook zone. Not ideal but I can't think of another way to address that at the moment. Oh, the other thing I did was recess the full depth fridge into the pantry wall so that it appears to be counter depth. I've no idea what your aisle widths were because you hadn't marked them but you have a large enough space to go for generous 48" aisles.

I want to put a table and chairs there but it looks like the builders installed the light fixture off centered. I suspect they placed it off center to allow for a walking space between the dining table and the island. If you don't care for the fixture -- and I don't either, so plain, doesn't coordinate with the island pendants -- change it, but I would not change the location. Furthermore, if you change the location, you'll probably have to "swag it", and I doubt that's the look for which you're searching. I recommend moving in and actually placing your dining furniture to determine the scale and room needed. Good advice. Go ahead and place your existing table ... then you can judge whether you need something larger /smaller /different shape. Do Nothing now. That "dining space " is too small to be considered one, unless a table for two under the window. Oh, come on. It's not a huge space, but it can certainly hold more than a two-top.

Like many, I've been working at home full time for a year+ now. I prefer to have my desk facing the room (not a wall) and not have my back to the door. Of course it's nice to be able to see out the windows, too. If you do a lot of Zoom meetings (which seem to take up most of my day), consider your background (unless you always use a virtual background) -- IMO bookshelves (filled with books you might never read but make you look smart) or a wall with art is nicer in the background than a door where people might be walking by or walk in. Also, if your back is to a window, your face will probably be in shadow and you'll look like you're in a witness protection program. Overhead lighting alone can be unflattering (if you care) so it's nice to have a table / desk lamp at about face level. Your requirements for an office may vary greatly, but if it were me and the way I work... in your office, I could see a nice set of built-in shelves along the left wall, and a desk placed near the center of the room, facing toward the right, and slightly closer to the windows so you have a walking path from the door to behind the desk. Great piece(s) of art and family pictures on the right wall. Easy reach behind you for paperwork or books, view out the window to your right, and art in front of you to keep you inspired. You can see whoever comes and goes in the hall, or shut your door when you need focus. I'd get a desk with built-in outlets, and if you can get a power source in the floor then you can just run one cord up a desk leg. For your ceiling fixture you might want to consider a chandy or pendant with a chain that you can swag in case you want to reposition it at any time. The lower right corner could have a wonderful big plant, or if you need more storage for files you could have a nice looking file cabinet there.

@Susan L Good points and I like what you did with the Tahoe place. We do have a vision & this isn't our first custom house (but we're still always learning). For example: Overall vision is a clean, woodsy kind of feeling with natural materials consistent with the neighborhood. In fact, our vision is much like items shown in your photo: big windows and doors, bright sunshine, natural wood trim that's stained a semi dark color, lighter wood floors - much like you have. Our windows are metal clad on exterior but unfinished wood on interior and we'll stain the wood to match the baseboard trim and door casements. The doors will be wood and stained to match the rest of the wood; front door inside included. So, lots of wood and the same stone used on exterior and patios will be used for fireplace. Walls are white. Windows will have a drywall wrap, or something like that, see attached image. A couple of the more visible ceilings will have wood similar to the baseboard & interior trim. @littlebug zone 5 Missouri.... A hearth works and the function is good; some people put pillows there to be next to the fire. Will fool around with a couple more designs.
