The nook is gone!

We decided to open up the floor plan just a bit more.  The original plan was to have a little "nook" outside the powder room so that we would have some privacy from the living and dining spaces.  If you were to stand in the middle of the living room, this would have been the view:

The wall in the middle of the drawing is the nook.  Beyond it, the powder room.  The dining room is to the right and the office ("play room" for now) is to the left.

But, now that we've seen the space without walls, we decided that we didn't want the privacy nook after all.  Screw privacy, we want more space!  The entire floor will gain more openness and more light.  And it gives us another reason to make the powder room a show-stopper.  

We've added a half wall between the sink and toilet in order to eliminate a direct line of sight to the toilet (but the sink and mirror will still be visible from certain parts of the main floor).

From a design perspective, this means that our power room will have to coordinate with the other spaces, especially the living and dining rooms.  It will also need amazing wallpaper and some great lighting.
