Eric's ideas
green bricks!
super open area with big windows and a reading nook. good use of brick. I like the floor color. poor lighting
I imagine the second floor den area overtop the kitchen which gives a nice overlook onto the family/tv room down below. also the lighting and colors
They'll let you see what's on hand more easily. Less messy storage.
Lots of counter space and modern looking wood cabinets
tile
