I'm thinking the bottom half and back side of cabinets on the living room side will be random rock, similar color to countertops and the top half maybe white casing so it blend in

You have to be nearing the 1/2 life of that drywall.
Just use a 4” nap and forgo the mudding.
Your wife couldn’t even pick matching curtains.....geesh.
Was the section in the back of the alcove an after thought? You are absolutely right. That area will be a beach! Fortunately, it will be hidden behind what we can assume are electronics.
As always Hurry Up!

She went two years without a kitchen sink and cooked on a portable stove top, she's a keeper lol
1 year for me! Gutted the kitchen over a year ago. I had to set up a little cooking area with a inductive hot plate, toaster oven, mini fridge, coffee maker, etc. Kitchen is fully functional now, just have to finish the crown moldings, baseboards, and other minor stuff. Did the under cabinet lights today!

Mine was a little involved as I did the living room at the same time...
Over the past 4 years I did the following -
Gutted kitchen and living room.
Moved master bedroom door
relocated laundry room
added half bath (next project to complete)
added coat closet
built double closets for master
added a pantry
removed the corner that divided kitchen and living room and put the bar
knocked down 5,000 pound chimney and added pop out for HT equipment
New kitchen
new living room
Basically redid the floor plan a little, which was sorely needed

Thanks man

Man, I'm year three in my house and purchased materials at the beginning. I still have some paint, floors, kitchen counters, and master bath to complete. The master bath has been out of commission for most of the time here. The plan is to finish it this weekend. Your journey is inspiring. Great work, and both our better half's are great for being patient. Well, mine has damn near cursed me out a couple of times....but , all great things will come in time.

Looking GREAT Trey!
What is the square hole in the floor of the recessed area for?
It appears to be for running wire
Yes that is run wire, I'll make a Panel to cover it with a few thru plates but I wanted it removable

Just use these:
Some of the wire is 3/4 inch thick
