I live in NYC and have a combo living room, dining room and kitchen all in a 10ft x 12.5ft room. I've lived here for a year and I obsess about creating a better functioning floor plan. I've tried using floorplan.com as you've suggested but I don't think i know what I'm doing. I've pushed everything to the walls (boring) and I wonder if there is a way to set up the room so it doesn't look like a dorm suite. p.s: the fridge is big and bulky. Any advice? Hello YHL,

It's actually a pretty small kitchen but it works for us! Hope it helps! xo, s

We are about to remodel ours but can't seem to decide between a few different floor plans. One we are looking at is very similar to your layout. Would you mind listing the measurement between the counters opposite each other? (long counter to long counter) It looks like you have a nice amount of space in there and I wanted to make sure we have at least that much room to move around in. Keep up the great work!

Mudding the joints and sanding things down and painting was the final step. I'm sure you can google around for a step by step tutorial somewhere. Hope it helps! xo, s

We too have a baby on the way and would like to get rid of the door from the dining room to the kitchen to make a nursery. Do you have a post somewhere that details the steps to plastering and closing the door off? I looked around but couldn't find one. Ps. Your house is an inspiration, I think my husband is sick of hearing "Honey, look what they did here..." The house we just bought is very similar to yours minus the sunroom.
