Do you remember specific square footage for each room? We just bought a brick ranch in RVA with a similar layout and I’m definitely using your house for decoration inspiration.

Maybe try using graph paper to try different combinations? Here’s a post with a few more floor planning options for you: https://www.younghouselove.com/2010/06/email-answer-space-planning-101/

Hello YHL,

I looove your blog!!! you guys are inspiring. I live in NYC and have a combo living room, dining room and kitchen all in a 10ft x 12.5ft room. I’ve lived here for a year and I obsess about creating a better functioning floor plan. I’ve tried using floorplan.com as you’ve suggested but I don’t think i know what I’m doing. I’ve pushed everything to the walls (boring) and I wonder if there is a way to set up the room so it doesn’t look like a dorm suite. p.s: the fridge is big and bulky. Any advice?

It’s about 8 feet between those counters. It’s actually a pretty small kitchen but it works for us! Hope it helps!

I love what you’ve done with your kitchen. We are about to remodel ours but can’t seem to decide between a few different floor plans. One we are looking at is very similar to your layout. Would you mind listing the measurement between the counters opposite each other? (long counter to long counter) It looks like you have a nice amount of space in there and I wanted to make sure we have at least that much room to move around in.

Keep up the great work!

Hey Erin,

We actually worked with a contractor to close off that doorway since there were some other load bearing walls that we were dealing with, but the process was basically just framing out the doorway with studs like you would see in a new house before the drywall goes up and then just screwing in some drywall to cover the doorway from both sides. Mudding the joints and sanding things down and painting was the final step. I’m sure you can google around for a step by step tutorial somewhere. Hope it helps!
