Coffee/Bar Lounge
In the morning, a nice place to have a small breakfast. During the day, a small room to welcome guests just stopping by. A small little hangout like a coffee bar.By night, a bar - great secondary place to entertain during a party. Apart from the main living space, but connected enough that no one is too far apart.Biggest concern: There won't be much natural light once the breeze way/pantry/mudroom is closed in. I think the only light will come from whatever we get from the entrance of the house.
Slat wall example - perhaps I prefer the slats straight rather than on a slant
