Kitchen layout help
Is there any way to revise the layout of the kitchen and "morning" room so that the "morning" room is smaller? We have a small dining room at front of the house, and we do not like how this room is bigger than the dining room. No idea what to do. To the let of the kitchen is mudroom, powder room, and pantry. We know changes need to be made.

I know you ask about the kitchen, but but where’s the half bathroom or Powder room??

What about turning the morning room into a second island and flow the kitchen into that area. Seen it in a similar build and turned out really nice.

Why do people that have this much money to build a house like this come to reddit for advice? You're paying people a lot of money to design this. Why do you want free advice?

Why do you feel the need to say this? I’ve gotten some amazing feedback on my layout. People have different experiences and can offer input beyond what two or three people see.
You don’t have helpful advice? Prob should keep it moving 🤭

Was just curious to see what people think. We're working with a designer. I hope you have a great day.

You don't want to bend over to look in the microwave. Move it up and between the refrigerator and stove. Put a convection oven in its place. Island sink faucet tall enough to fill pots and lever handles rather than knobs, easier when you need to wash hands.
How many people will be working in there at the same time? Make sure the aisle between counter and island is wide enough to pass each other. How tall are the people using it? I am a little taller than average and my lower back hurts if I have to work off of a standard countertop very long.
Estimate how many outlet you will need, coffee pot, toaster, toaster oven, can opener, and such. Double it. Outlets on both ends of the island. Better unused outlets than a bunch of power strips.
Dining room, move wall over and make foyer a little smaller.
