my suggestions are based on zoning the areas for multiple cooks and helpers and has a bar open to the living area from both ends with an optional privacy door between bar and pantry and no door between kitchen and pantry, the island should be much narrower for quick meals and the arrangement of drawers and supporting post under the island allow for cook's stool spacebtw, unless you prefer to iron in the laundry the laundry and mudroom seem a little generous at the expense of the small study that could also be a useful downstairs emergency sick room

Wow, total transformation, great job very impressive. congrats

With the amount of work and expense that you are talking about you would be well advised to engage a Landscape Architect to design your outdoor structures and planting, and then use local tradesmen to build whathas been designed to your brief and budget. There is actually quite a lot involved with co-ordination of structure, electrical, water and planting with what you have proposed. Some of my clients have used Jason of Davidson Design Studio and have found him very professional with great results. While he is based in Beaumaris he services some regional areas. https://www.houzz.com.au/pro/davidsondesignstudioaila/davidson-design-studio Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

For me working at home means working on things around the house like cleaning out our WIR. Keeping busy is important for everyone during what will be a very trying period in our lives, we will need to keep reminding ourselves to stay positive we will survive this together
