Wall to Wall cabinets or 12 inch counter top?
Comments (8)I was thinking of the hutch idea as well. Put a pantry height at the opposite end from the oven and use the space between like a hutch. If you're into wine you could make this a wine bar or coffee area. As I thought about my own kitchen I realized I designed it with a landing area next to the oven and we NEVER use it like that LOL. We always open the oven and carry the hot stuff over to next to the sink or set on the cooktop for some reason. I guess it's just the natural traffic flow of the kitchen. So now the section next to my wall ovens is the beverage area when we have gatherings. I also like the idea someone mentioned for a laptop or charging area. You could hide some outlets up under the upper cabinets or do a couple of those pop up electrical outlets.

Comments (1)I increased my uppers depth by the exact amount I increased the lowers. (And yeah, it's 30 plus whatever the counters are.) This way, I can reach exactly what I could reach with standard depths. And more if I stand on something. :) I can reach everything on the bottom shelf of my 18" deep uppers, and most of the second shelf, and even the front of the third shelf. Dunno/don't care what's on the top shelf. :) I'm 5'1". I think the 18" uppers are almost as great as the 30" drawers. And the 31" counters are nice too. (Make yours 31.5". I need a smidge more overhang to be perfect.)...See More30' deep counters
Comments (33)We have made a niche in wallboard behind range but haven't finished it yet. Range is an older model freestanding 30 inch range. Just want to say that I took a measuring tape to Sears before we made niche and found that some models of freestanding ranges were almost 48 inches high at the back. You will want to plan for that if you're putting in a niche above a range unless it's one of the ones with controls at front. Also, if you have upper cupboards flanking the range you will find it hard to exactly position that niche between them if the cupboards are not installed, but that's the best time to access the space. We have some messing about to do in correcting the position now that hood, range, and cupboards are in place. Our niche is not spacious--esp. because we are close to the hood mfg recommendation for position above range, which doesn't leave a lot of niche room; a large bottle of oil or a wine bottle won't fit. Nevertheless, I'm really happy with the unfinished niche and am shamelessly using the top of the range back as a second tier for more items I use when at range--vinegars, salts, pepper grinder, garlic, &c. Don't plan to line a niche with thick tiles; choose something thin. Although you might think that a wall has 6 inches of depth to offer you, it doesn't work that way, esp. if you build the niche of wallboard as DH did. Paint's the thinnest thing for lining a niche, I think. But if you have 30 inch deep countertops, you could do all kinds of creative things with a niche in that space behind the range--how about a deep lip on the niche? You could put a real vase there! And the niche could be 3 inches plus the inside of the wall--a really capacious thing! You could put modest canisters into it!...See MoreIsland Counter-top Measurements?
Comments (7)Ok. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going crazy! Should the ends of the island have the same 1.5” overhang that the side with the cabinet doors does? Or can it be less?...See Moredavidro1
