I think we have finally decided on a layout for the living/dining/kitchen area. The kitchen & dining integration is quite important, and there has been a lot of changes here to get it right. We have managed to keep a window overlooking the kitchen, and the walk in pantry, along with not having the fridge staring back at you when you look towards the kitchen.
I think we have also ended up with a kitchen that has lots of storage space, without being too extravagant.
