I like where your head’s at! It would be in phase two (or three?) rather than in the near future, but I’ve definitely thought about expanding the main bedroom.

I love this layout idea!! We’re leaning toward a sitting area like this at the moment.

Thanks for your comment, Lane! We’re definitely thinking along the same lines as you. We want this to be a flexible room that people can pass through during gatherings and in daily life. I’d love to have some art and other things on display. I’m looking forward to bringing it all together in the not-so-distant future.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I love hearing all of these great ideas around the layout. I shared a couple of thoughts in a reply to the original commenter above!

This is a good point! I shared a couple of thoughts in a reply to the original commenter above, but nothing’s been ruled out yet!

We’ve definitely thought about it! It feels a little strange to have a dining table directly in front of you when you enter the house but it’s not something we’ve ruled out! The layout we’re leaning toward right now will likely have a small table and a (somewhat) formal seating area, but time will tell.

This would be a great use for the room!!

Add a bar cart and some lounge chairs so it doubles as a parlour for entertaining guests before and after dinner.

Oh yes, I second this.

Cases of books/ art are visually appealing as well as purposeful…why close them off behind a door?! Turn the library into another bedroom or expand the master bedroom adding a beautiful walk in closet or lounge area.

It keeps the integrity of the home and design ✨

Also yes to this! I would love to hear Kate’s opinion about this. Seems to me a great dining room but ofcourse I haven’t been in the room so I haven’t got a feeling about it. The beautiful peach room can get more use as a family room.

Yes to this! Having the dining room in the middle room would make a lot sense, especially when entertaining a larger group. And moving the living area to the peach room would help from an entertaining stand point as well.

I see it as a transitional space. I don’t see it as dining room or open kitchen because it’s in the middle of it all and too close to entry. If you get a lot of light in there it could become another green room with reading space. If you don’t get enough light it could provide library space. The problem is that your house is big enough to have library in a different room, in your office, kids’ books in their room,etc. But if you do need overflow space for books and art, it could be it. I think on Scotland’s home of the year (posted on youtube, the Victorian renovation), there was a home with a similar space made into a green room. Do you envision having an open house type parties where many people would transition through the house? Then maybe provide a sitting bench, rug, table, maybe put art on walls. It’ll be interesting to see what you come up with

Then that big beautiful room by the kitchen could be a great family room.
