I need help with a paint color for a kitchen remodel
Comments (1)Heidi - if you are still trying to resolve, I recommend posting your question on the discussions side of this board. There is much more traffic there, and you will likely receive more input. Good luck!...See MoreI need help with basic wiring questions for a kitchen remodel
Comments (7)Thank you. That is basically what I thought. I should be able to remove the wires from the main box and I can cut them back as far as I can. After looking again, it appears as though the disposal is on its own circuit. The dishwasher is on its own circuit. The range is on its own circuit. So, if those breakers are the right amperage for the new units, I can run new wire from the new units to the main box and attach to the old circuit breakers. The refrigerator is not on its own circuit. The old refrigerator would make some lights dim when it kicked on. I am going to terminate those wires inside a junction box with a metal cover plate that can be accessed behind the new refrigerator. Then I am going to put the new refrigerator on the new circuit for the new GFCI outlets in the kitchen. Is that acceptable?...See MoreHave I got a project for y'all! 80's kitchen remodel HELP needed

Comments (12)Thanks for input everyone. I need to go through the ideas and further digest what youve said. I will be offline for the next few days. I'll be anxious to check in next weekend. To answer and clarify some things... I havent consulted with a designer, only architect, so far. Good point though. I know sink and stove shouldnt be so far across the room and with island in the way. This layout isn't good. That's why Im seeking help. I am very open to and have considered a prep sink somewhere. We bought the house many years ago with every intention of remodeling it. It's been a rental. It is in a great location but is run down and dated. It is getting completely gutted. We would not be able to afford the beautiful new house this will be when it's done. Windows and doors can and are moving. We are just not changing the footprint of the house. I do not desire a sink in the island HOWEVER, I am fully aware that there may not be a good way to do this. If everyone says, "lady, get over it, you need to put a sink in the island or you will regret it later", I will believe. I guess I need to explore every option before I face reality. These drawings are to scale. We are re-doing the back deck. The front entrance is off the living and dining area. The back yard is on the north side of the house, top of these drawings, access from the kitchen. I am not attached to the double french doors, Was just trying to let lots of great light in and see the view and nature from the front of the house as well. The french door can slide either direction or be centered, I am open. I do want to be aware of the kitchen view from the living and entryway. I'll upload some more drawings....See MoreAmy
