Move the lavender! Wormwood gets to about 1 metre high but can spread several metres. It has a reputation as a bad companion because it inhibits the growth of other plants nearby. Yours is a lovely specimen!

I generally like 48 inches from the table to the wall for flow, but if you get a narrower buffet (no more than 18 inches) it will be a little tight if someone is seated and someone wants to get by them, but is doable. FYI a buffet is in a dining room, a sideboard is in the living room or foyer. Pretty much the same thing, but where it is located determines what is is called.

We added an addition and converted a half bath into a master bath suite and we love it. Our shower is huge. 5x7. We have floor to ceiling glass, hinged door with a transom over it. Although it is not a steam shower we waterproofed it as such and tiled the ceiling. The important thing we did is to put the on/off controls on the opposite wall of the shower heads. Otherwise we would get wet and cold. The shower is plenty warm and not drafty with the door closed and the transom open. However, when the door is opened you can feel the temperature change. The shower is plenty large for 2 people. In fact, I think it would be fine for 2 if it was 4x6. We opted to get a teak bench. We like the flexibility to move it around. We also went for a full length niche. Once we completed this. We had our main bath redone. We did not have the space or money to indulge in a large shower. We took out the tub and replaced it with a shower. The location of the bathroom door concerned us that if we moved the shower out more, our teenage boys might swing it open to hard and hit the glass shower door. The shower is 33" x 60". We panicked that it was too small, but it was too late. We put in a full length niche that is perfect for extra elbow room. I do think that 3 inches wider would have been better. It would have been thousands more to move walls, pocket doors, electric , moving pipes ect. Besides myself and my husband don't use it. Just like our shower, we put in a rainhead. Both boys just use this and not the showerhead. The pictures of the smaller bath are dark, but it is light and airy in reality. It has a beachy feel and we love our drain cover and glazzio glass bubbles on the floor.

Hey Kadi, You probably have to reflect on how you live and how you want to use the space. A ton of people will tell you that pantry is huge and what a waste yada yada. My wife and I are preparing to build a house and after much debate.... the walk through pantry is 16'x6.5'. This is its own special place in the house and we want it to be absolutely beautiful. You have a very similar size to ours. We will do full depth counters around the outside wall (Big L shape) and either 12" or 18" deep shelving or cabinets on the inside wall, which is about 10' in length. 3.5' walkway. We plan using a library ladder so we can put shelves up to the ceiling, which is 10' high. We'll also be roughing in a sink, but we may just put one in. Haters will hate, this is a huge pantry and would be a 3 sink kitchen for a 2 person house hold. We're not rich. We just love to cook and we love to cook together so we put serious thought into what we want our future work space to look like for years to come. Our kitchen/living space (open floor plan) is a serious priority for us in our design. We have received all sorts of feedback about our pantry, a lot of it negative. Those people did give us hesitation at first, but maybe ask to see their kitchens/ pantries and talk about how they cook, as then you can most likely dismiss their advice. We realized that the majority of kitchens we went through belonged to people that store more "food" than ingredients. My spreadsheet has 30 appliances on it that should either be on the counter, or easily accessible. Almost all of these things (microwave, toaster, coffee maker etc) go in the pantry as we do not want any counter clutter in the actual kitchen. When we have the space we generally have 5 types of flour, 5 types of sugar, a huge variety of chilies, nuts, beans, lentals, etc. We want everything to have its place and every ingredient to be easily accessible. We are minimizing over head cabinetry in the kitchen - I prefer the cleaner look and my wife is short and anything but the very first shelf is wasted space without a step ladder or her sous chef (me). All of that said... Maybe you have too small of pantry? Maybe you need a sink in there for the coffee maker and quick wipe downs? Only you will know. :-)
