I am a designer myself (architect turned interior architect) but I could really use some input from some others right now …

The image below is a diagram of my kitchen remodel.

The links wouldn't work for me. I was really hoping to get to see the pictures! =\

Whoops - I accidently used my old Shutterfly links. I fixed 'em - they should work now.

Thanks for looking!

Hi, have you considered ripping out the entryway doorway, opening up that entire corner, and relocating the door to where the window is now, or just eliminating it altogether? You would expand the available floor space dramatically if that wall with the interior door isn't load bearing. Another thought would be to utilize that little area as a pantry, mounting narrow shelves up to almost ceiling height to take advantage of every square inch...Sally

I have not considered this because
1. I need a vestibule/mudroom/air lock.
2. The window cannot be changed into a door; no room on exterior for steps required to exit.
3. Can't eliminate it altogether - I need a back door.
4. Can't use it as a pantry, since I need it as a mudroom/entry.
5. I'm about 75% done. Feel free to check out my LJ - all remodeling posts are public

But thanks for the feedback.

BTW, on the matter of the tile/wainscot (the original question) I've decided to tile the left side of the door, wainscot the right.
