@Wesley W. You're welcome

I can't see the mudroom from the photos, but assuming you can displace a couple of pipes and wires a little bit, how about this:

Bedroom will be small but feasible with a twin bed or maybe full bed and a decent closet.

If needed, you could leave the kitchen counter up to the dotted lines, but better move the sink until the edge of the mudroom window.

Moving the Bedroom door will give you a decent stretch of wall for a cabinet/TV or a desk, as well as making better use of the precious sqft near basement door, it's really worth considering.

Finishes can only enhance a good layout, but there's not much one can do with a bad layout.
You know you have a good or decent enough layout when you can place furniture in a usable manner. Fix the layout first, then spend any remaining budget on finishes

What do you think?
I hope this brings you closer to a definitive solution

PS: have you considered a washer/dryer for this unit?

Hi Wesley,

Here's a proposal (attached image) based on what I can see from your post:

1) Expand the Bonus Room into the Bedroom to create the new Kitchen 13'x8' or 14'x8.
Current Bedroom becomes closet (valuable storage space, and you get to keep the access door leading under staircase)
Current Kitchen becomes Bedroom
2) Move drain and water supply to where the new sink is
3) Mudroom becomes Entrance, close off redundant door
4) You could remove the door Entrance/Bedroom and widen its opening

5) New Layout is a nice small but comfortable Studio with proper entrance, decent separate kitchen and good storage space

Works?
