2. Niches work amazingly well for small breeds and catsSmall dog breeds, especially the non-social, timid kinds, are likely to benefit from this. They need to be near their family to feel secure without risking shocks (for them and their humans) from getting tripped over. Creating a small bedding area in the nook of the living room, kitchen or any chosen space will reduce their anxiety, allowing them to be close to their family while keeping them from coming underfoot.

Wrap the island to obscure existing cabinetry vs painting everything?
Digging the ceiling and floor materials here: wood planks, warm black beams, gray tile (or tile like) floor. thoughts? I kinda love this direction for the whole space. AS: I like this, but one question, will it be too much to have wood ceilings in the sun porch if the kitchen has white ceilings? The wood might make it more interesting. SY: I think we'd unify the spaces and give both wood ceilings. AS: the more I think about this, the more I like it. SY: 9/19 So, we love this too, but we've had to shift to white beams and white ceiling. The one beam that in necessary divides kitchen from porch where the house's exterior wall is, and will be substantial, and the kitchen's ceiling is low. Keeping it all white will make the ceiling feel higher, and the beam(s) feel less imposing. I don't want to lose this inspiration image, though! This floor is great, and this is a great overall effect to go for in your someday kitchen - we'll just find other ways to bring in the wood! AS:Ok- thats fine too! and if it doesn't make sense to bring in wood. thats ok too. SY: check.
