Herbflavor, there will be a stainless steel pop-up counter to the right of the stove for added counterspace. There's a second egress that I cannot permanently block (though it's currently blocked with a huge air filter now to help clean the air while cooking). It would be difficult to place a counter where the 3 cupboards are as it needs to be shallow for clearance to second egress.
I am working with a designer right now. I don't think I've got the drawings with the measurements.
Jan Moyer, that is the crown molding in the dining room. The dining room currently has picture railing which will be taken down and crown will be added. The ceiling will be painted gold to match the pattern on the wallpaper. This is the wallpaper we're using:
The trim and doors (dining room currently has 2 sets of pocket doors and one swing door - the swing door will be removed during the reno) is already painted in white. If we paint the crown a different color, wouldn't it look a bit odd?
I appreciate all of your points everybody is making. I think I'm leaning towards the standard shaker even though I do love the slim shaker.
ETA: The drop ceiling is like a 2-3 inch drop for cove lighting. You can see an example of that in this link. I'm using the same designer.
I don't feel like the kitchen cabinet doors need to match the house doors.
Is that really a thing? If it was, we would have tons of kitchens with raised panel door style to match the classic 6 panel colonial door in most homes around here.
You are in NYC - eclectic is the name of the game. It also is a place of breaking all the rules.
I think you are on the right track. I happen to really like the micro shaker and hope it stays for a long time.
