Reno 2015 - cook top
We've decided we won't have a full stove as we never use the oven. Instead, we're planning a gas cook top on the counter, under a range hood, with a convection oven and possibly a microwave, installed in the cabinetry across the kitchen.

Reno 2015 - final floor plan
We have redesigned how we would be entering the house; instead of walking up several steps to enter, the door would now be at "street" level. Once inside you'd walk a few steps up to the living/dining space, or down a few steps to the basement. This would allow for a mud-room of sorts downstairs (which would only be a few steps away), plus remove the need to climb outside stairs, which are sometimes icy, often wet, before entering the house.
When envisioning how we would utilize our new entrance, we quickly realized we'd need space to sit and remove boots, unload groceries from the bike or car, and sufficient space for a guest to remove a wet raincoat without walking through the drippings.
Mike, our guy at a+LiNK architecture inc., worked with us through various iterations until we landed on a modification which by adding only a couple of feet to the length of the new space, would beautifully satisfy our needs.

Reno 2015 - final basement floor plan
It looks like e might as well pour a basement floor under the addition, considering we'll already be pouring the footings and creating walls to enclose the new basement stairs.
With the addition of a "hatch" or chute on the south side, this could nicely function as firewood storage, instead of trucking it all in form the garage.
