Dear Reddit,
First, thank you for taking the time to read my post! My wife and I just purchased our first home here in Michigan, and we love the house. We close in two weeks, and we'd both like to have some solid ideas of how we will lay out our space. One of the things that has stumped us so far is where to find eating space. I've been thinking of adding either a small table to the kitchen, or possibly sectioning off some space in our living room, but I'm at a loss for good ideas in either case. Here's a link with some photos of the rooms, and models I've created thus far with SketchUp:
First, the kitchen. Dimensions are roughly 60"x168" (if measuring from the front of the cabinets to the opposite wall). It's small and narrow, which doesn't leave much room for an eat-in option. Right now, the fridge is positioned on the eastern wall, an juts out past the wall into the room. One idea I had (and you can see in the SketchUp model photo of the kitchen) is purchasing a slim profile refrigerator, and replacing the tall, narrow cabinet. Then we would have the space at the back of the kitchen to either add counters/cabinets, or possibly some eating space?
Next, the living room. Dimensions are roughly 130"x136". It's modest in size as well, but it has enough room for a full-size couch and arm chair. Right now, we were thinking of keeping this with a similar layout you see in the photos, but it would be great if there were some creative ways to get some dining space in here as well?
Last, I'll mention budget. We don't have a ton of liquid cash, but would likely be able to make modest modifications/purchases (~$10k) if it got us a reasonable dining space.
Again, thank you for taking the time to make it this far through the post! Any insight/ideas you can provide are greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, I'll gladly provide it if possible.
Yours,
The Regoisms
