Please help with appliance locations/layout
Comments (9)annkh thanks for replying. so so you think either layout would work with the appliance location? i am posting a partial layout of the addition/reno to get an idea of where things are in relation to the kitchen. some things have been changed to the kichen layout, but the rest is the same. you're right about the fridge being easy to reach from family room in one plan vs if it were on the same wall as range, then it would be easier to access from seating at peninsula and dining room. I want an undercounter fridge by the family room if we put the fridge on the range wall, but overall appliance budget will definitely be a factor with that decision. there are no uppers by the clean up zone and i am not sure where i will put my dishes yet. right now, in my dysfunctional kitchen, glasses are above the dishwasher and dishes are on the other side of the kitchen. quite honestly, it's the least bothersome to me of all the things i dislike about the my kitchen. I did consider moving the clean up zone to that right wall (where fridge is in first layout) so i could have uppers by the sink and dedicated baking zone where the sink had been, but the KD talked me out of it. i will definitely review the base cabinet configuration regarding drawers once i figure out where i want to store things and the size of some of my stuff. i chose the angled cabinet in the corner because i was afraid people would bang up the cabinets if they didn't line up a hinged right angle door just right. that would irritate my husband. haven't ruled out corner drawers here instead of a lazy susan.

Comments (5)"Walnut oil does NOT harden into an actual film." Not completely true. Walnut cooking oil will not harden into a film - like any other cooking oil. Polymerized walnut oil will harden into a film just like tung oil or any other polyermized oil. I use polymerized walnut oil on cutting boards. You need to flood the surface and continue applying the oil over a 20-30 minute period and then wipe off the excess. The oil will penetrate the surface and then harden at the final depth it has penetrated. Like any other polymerized oil, this forms the base for the subsequent coats. Reapply the same way another 2-3 times with at least 1-day between applications and you will have a nicely sealed surface. You can wipe the surface with soap and water to clean it, and then just follow up with another light coat of oil. We have a butcher block that has been treated like this for the past 6 years and has a beautiful surface....See MoreOiling cutting board?

Comments (6)New butcher block typically gets passed thru a thickness planer after glue-up so I don't think you can sand it too smooth. There's lots of detailed info in the attached article on refinishing & caring for BB cutting boards. I'm glad you asked this question because it reminded me that I need to hunt down the mineral oil for my cutting board.
