The changes made:
-Garage entry into house now goes to a Mudroom.
-Extra pantry cabinet & Base/wall cabinet moved inside mudroom to open up kitchen wall space (for now).
-Kitchen island turned vertical (as suggested by The Lex)
-The pantry wall inside laundry room has been extended now to 10' 4"
-Additional window added to rear left (Mom's sitting area)
The only thing left to add I believe is a 36" rear wall exit door from the garage.
