Please Help review friend's layout

What do you think?

Where are the pain points?

How would you tweak this, or something completely different?

I am helping my friend with her kitchen layout: "everything is going," she says.

Goal: while the kitchen is not tight, it is actually a bit too wide for her. She doesn�t like having to walk from one wall to another. So I put her prep/cook zone on one wall and the clean-up/extra prep for DH/2-kids zone on the other wall.

Notes:

- base cabinets are 30" deep, so that helps reduced the distance between the 2 wall, but still feel spacious (vs. if we put in an island)

- No, the door openings/windows/pass-through cannot be moved. But plumbing and gas line can be.

- Drawings show base cabinets as doors, but they should almost all be drawers.

- House was built in ~1983 tudor-style ~2900sqft. Friend wants a European (not French country w/ rooster) style.

More labels:

- Doorway by fridge = front foyer for guests only

- Doorway by trash/recycle = rest of house/daily entrance via garage/pantry

- Doorway by banquette = to familyroom

We tried a layout w/ a peninsula and there was too much walking AROUND the peninsula to get to/from stuff.

Tried an island, but island only fits if we didn't put anything on the other wall.

Layout:

cooktop wall:

clean-up sink wall:

banquette: (software wasn't good at designing banquette)

Appreciate your help,

Amanda/huango
