kitchen

We love to cook and would prefer to not have a ton of stuff out on the counter. Carrie really would like a separate walk in room that can house infrequently used appliances, large platters, potentially a second dishwasher and lots of counterspace. When we entertain, it is typically overnight guests and I will have baskets of food for breakfast and snacks that I pull out and put away, rather than putting them back in the pantry. That is one way I use our current laundry room. A sink would be nice for handwashing. The secondary fridge for drinks "could" go here but, I am thinking the game room may be a better idea and alcoholic drinks can be kept in the bar area. For dining, flexible seating would be nice as we typically have 4 people eating but, can have up to 8 before we move into the dining room. Lots of light and possibly a banquet? We have a TON of cookbooks and do love them - we want space for them behind cabinets (not displayed, as we are trying to cut down on clutter. We have toyed with the idea of a gas fired pizza oven

Pantry room - this is very basic, I'd like a step up from this, with a sink & more counter space

storage instead of on counter. Do not want it too deep, as I don't want anything to get lost & spoil!
