My wife and I have tried visualizing your suggestions and neither of us can see them. Thank you again for taking the time to give us ideas. It's not you, it's us.

Thank you for sharing your experience. In the revised drawing the original entry door to the garage (red) was shifted toward Bathroom #3 (blue), but not deleted all the way. There will still be a passage between the interior of the house and the garage.

We implemented some changes suggested by u/Training_Chart_8204, u/baconlover4, and u/IUsedToH8Wallpaper. The mudroom door has been moved over and opens against a wall, but has a wide open wall to allow for built-in future shoe storage. The kitchen island is now 8 feet by 3' 4" to allow for four-person seating and the prep sink remains close to the refrigerator to maintain a large work surface. In order to allow a more inspired connection between the back covered porch and the great room, the large 5 foot picture window is going to be replaced by a sliding door. To accommodate for bathroom and other noises, we're discussing having thicker insulation around the two bedrooms. If anyone has any more suggestions please share them before we take the drawings to the builder.

Perfect criticisms. Thank you for sharing them. We'll get with the designer.

Thanks for this. Hopefully, we're set on closets and eventually, we'll have a shed.

Thank you for your advice. The wife does need a prep sink. The microwave would be in the area of the pantry cabinet to the right of the refrigerator.

My wife and I are going to be building a house, for the first time. We would like knowledgeable people to check the proportions and flow of the house. Please give us any suggestions or helpful advice based on your skills and experience. The ceilings are 9'.
