That being said, she does like your plan of having the kitchen in the back of the house. She also wonders if you are sitting in the dining area and looking at the deck to the left of the kitchen, if that could be the information seating with the L shape? That way, you could kind of have the best of both worlds. She also does love the idea of a really large island. That\\u2019s what she did in her kitchen, and it serves as a space for where they eat and where they gather when people come over.\\xa0\\nWe love the idea of combining the sitting area so that everybody wins. If you can delineate that other somehow and make it really special, that would be amazing.\\xa0\\nSend us pics of what you finally decide, including the view!'
