measurements of appliances would help. It's difficult to know how they would fit into the space w/o them. is the m/w used a lot? in cooking process or just for snacks? the first thing I'd do is draw up a layout of a galley type kitchen/work area with a 3.5 - 4' doorway to the DR/FR centered on that wall. That gives you about 4' on either side of the work area. I'd put the fridge about where it is (w/o cab to it's left), move the sink a bit (a foot?) to the the right of where it is. that's gives you several ft of work space between fridge and sink. fridge is close to prep/cook area and to DR/FR. On the stove side I'd move the stove a bit to it's left (hard to tell how much w/o knowing size of the stove). put a 'wing' on the corner to the right of the stove w/ a prep sink on the end that turns (so is 'backed' to the DR wall). if mw is needed for cooking process, possibly it could be smaller and put on an 'under an upper cabinet' shelf - be it to the left or right of the stove. My choice would be putting it in the corner area. I'd consider another short cab/counter 'wing' on the right end of the sink run. That gives a bit more counter space at the end of that run and a slight barrier to a table put in front of the window. I wouldn't put a bench up against a peninsula there - that places the heads of people (and their hair) too close to counter range for me. The other end and opposite the table area could be a baking/other work space with pantry area. Possible 2nd oven/wall oven. on the end wall (in front of ext door - that goes where? garage? backyard?) I'd put a halltree/bench w/hooks over it for my sweater, sun hat, dog leash. open space under bench for incoming dirty/muddy shoes/boots. what I call an end 'wing' - I think this is from buehl's kitchen. it's at the end of a run. it's just a short 'turned' section of cab and counter. The corner area of it can open (doors or drawers) into the space behind it, be it the DR or the kitchen table area. this is another sample - from a gw'er whose name i don't remember. to the left of the dw (if I remember correctly) the cab/counter angles off to the back door. it's just a bit of a triangular cab (you can see the knob on it). i wouldn't use a diagonal across the corner area tho - it cuts into the space too much.

The moosehead will be wonderful. With that rock wall, it will be perfect. Living in eastern Washington (five miles from Idaho) moose heads are not that unusual. The leather and antler chandelier, will tie it all together. The other fabrics (especially some velvet) the lines you're choosing for the furniture, a little more carved detail (perhaps) on the wooden tables, (maybe a marble top, on an end table?) will all work with your rustic/romantic mix. Blondie- You have great taste, so go for it :) As for the sofa, check other furniture stores, but bring your picture. I'm sure there will be similar items that are much more affordable. Thomasville is not cheap, and Hemingway was their most expensive collection (probably still is).

How far out from tv wall will bookcases etc stick out? That is limiting factor. A 9 x 12’ could sit under swivel chair and run to opposite wall leaving about 12” of flooring and go from front edge of bookcase TV Area toward and under sofa. That would keep you in standard size rug. We would have to be careful of any pattern so it would look right. What wall color are you planning? What trim color? Ceiling color? Main furniture colors. In other words what is your color palette.

@3onthetree you are a wealth of information and I am grateful for your kind words. It must a joy just being near you. If you cant visualize the space from the photo and the admittedly conceptual rendering please don't stress any longer :) Some things turn green and then worse like the old lunch meat in my refrigerator ;) The toilet size is such a petty critique but thank you for asking for clarification. It will help others understand :) The main entrance is the double doors with the small closet. The door next to the stairs in the picture was a broom closet that is being removed. There will be a wet bar there not an L desk LOL but I see what you see. The powder room is plenty big and works just fine now so I am not worried about that. It is 3'x7'. There is a half wall separating the entrance from the dining room (the other double doors, sorry, they don't exist, there is actually a bay window there) the half wall only extends 6 feet. The build out connecting the columns is to represent fake beams to separate the spaces and allow for mechanical and such. And I really think the butlers pantry fits the design well. The butlers pantry will keep clutter, dirty dishes and noisy appliances out of the wide open space. Its not the central feature. Cheers
