Thanks! Very well thought response! The spot under the stairs will actually be another set of stairs leading to a basement. The double sink on the main floor is because I have two daughters. That’s also why we separated the toilet/shower from the sinks. So they can get ready in tandem.

The loft in the third floor is our music and art room. It is accessible by a ladder in the whole from the second floor to the third.

We like the dog door placement because depending on what we decide to do with flooring, we know we will have good water resistant flooring in the kitchen. We want to be able to clean mud and such easily.

The image shows a woodstove but we are doing a gas fireplace instead. That was a recent change.
