Don't know if it would work but if you go to Cote de Texas most recent blog post she shows a long narrow galley kitchen with inset shaker cabinets (inspired by Sally Wheat's kitchen) - you might be able to glean some ideas from it . . . I did notice they seemed to use a standard fridge and just pulled the top cabinets out so it looked integrated. . .

Yes, it is a Hansgrohe Metro that I got from costco. I liked the price too. It doesn't give a really hard spray like you can sometimes get from a stand alone spray, but that doesn't bother me. I did have a problem with the spray head when it was first installed and didn't want to have to take it back to Costco, so I contacted Hansgrohe online and they sent me a new one, no questions asked. They stand behind their product. I use to do frequent searches for "hot buys" on the costco internet site. Sometimes you can pick up some really good deals. I missed a great sink by not making up my mind soon enough!

Please HELP! Questions about Cabinet Brands for galley kitchen

That sounds a bit expensive but not wildly unreasonable; I have just finished a galley kitchen that is 7.5ft wide and 14 ft long (was 12ft before we opened up a wall.) I priced frameless cabinets from Cabico Espresso, all drawers in the lowers, and the not-quite-everything total was around $9k; I comparison shopped Innermost (frameless also) at Home Depot and it was slightly more expensive. I also used the Ikea planner to mock up layouts so I could gauge the price there, and it was in line with what the previous posters suggested. In the end, we used Diamond cabinets (a very mid-range brand) because of the contractor we chose; they're not frameless but we're very happy with them. I don't know the specific price because the cabinets got wrapped into the price for all the work, which included a lot of other expenses like moving plumbing on a slab and opening up a load-bearing wall. Bottom line is that cabinets are probably the biggest expense in doing a kitchen, other than labor if you mess about with the layout like we did. By comparison the granite/quartz estimates seemed like a bargain! I don't think I anticipated this when I started contemplating what to do to our kitchen, and like you the numbers sort of shocked me. I spent more time as a result, figuring out a layout that made the costs feel more worthwhile. If you want to see some beautiful galley kitchens, google kitchen reveals by @yesdear and @brooklyngalley and @erhm, among many others including the ones posted above. Oh, and also @marthavila and @histokitch, two of my all-time favorite kitchens irrespective of size. I've linked below a google search for galley kitchen reveals on Gardenweb which should turn up some of the above. Here is a link that might be useful: Search for galley kitchen reveals on GW

My new galley kitchen layout
Q

I like this one. The only thing I might tweak is to make sure the uppers on either side of the window are centered on the window. So, slightly shrink the one above the D/W, or slightly expand the other one. It might look funny if you don't. The tightest spot in this kitchen is going to be between the table and the refrigerator. I would choose a small table & chairs, and would consider a smaller refrigerator, too. Looks like you've got a cabinet-depth french door refrigerator model there, which is likely more than you need. I think the cabinet depth is a good choice, but there are smaller models made. Check out the Liebherr line, for example. To give you some context on fridge sizes, we're a family of 4 and we're going back to a 27" wide cabinet depth model (which we lived with in our old house), even though our kitchen is 16x12 and could accommodate larger. We just think the space is more usable in other capacities. If you were willing to shift the window that's currently above the sink, then you might consider moving the fridge to the corner, and having everything else shift out toward the table. The massing might work out a little better that way (to make the kitchen feel a little more open), but the downside is that then you're going to the corner (and possibly around people that are cooking and or doing dishes) to get to the fridge. The fridge is much more accessible where it is now. As for the overall layout, for argument's sake, let's say you did a L. The natural choice would be to have the L begin along the dining room (so you can have uppers and don't have windows interfering), but then you carry it along the other wall, and the only window you've got is an awkward place under which to center the sink (too close to the corner). It's nice to have a window centered above the sink.

Congratulations It is beautiful and quiet. I love that backsplash like so many others. It is a perfect scale for your kitchen. It almost looks like herringbone :)

Tell us about the hutch, please. Is it new? If so, a great idea.

I love the details and perfect use of space here. You will have so much fun sorting and arranging your storage spaces. And there is eye candy in color, pattern, line and proportion everywhere you look.
Really nice kitchen.

Thank you all so much for your comments! The GW has truly been a source of inspiration for me.

In answer to a few questions regarding the hutch- it is a custom piece made by the cabinet maker. I am out of town this weekend and I will double check the measurements when I get home but my recollection is that it is 56" W x18" Dx83" high.

The hutch has added just enough storage to the space which was my main concern (besides needing major updating).

I love to hear the comments about it being a quiet space because it really is a retreat for me- thanks again all!!!!

Good luck to all the projects in process!

Could you tell me what the width is between the countertops? Thanks. Great job! It looks like a sweet space to work in.

Thanks laughable- the width between counter and peninsula is 44" at the widest part and @35 3/8 at the most narrow point- where the fridge sticks out.

Hi @mfnJsb0809 - can you tell me the measurement of your peninsula counter area? I will have one what appears to be about the same size, and I have been trying to determine if I should go with one or two pendants over the bar area. And if two, how far apart to space them.

Would you mind sharing what you did?

Thank so much!
