Can the windows be moved? I'd rather have the fridge closer to the edge of the kitchen, closer to groceries coming from the garage, and closer to the eating area/banquette. The counter where the range was drawn could be a long baking counter with windows, or a wall of hutch-type storage or pantry cabinets. (The pantry cab in the MR could then be used for coats, backpacks, etc. With no appliance on the right side wall, the island can be moved over a few inches to leave more room in front of the fridge.) The kitchen is certainly large enough for a prep sink in the island, but I hesitate to suggest another sink since there's one in the bar area. It's going to be an amazing kitchen!

I totally agree with Mama Goose's changes. I say that a lot. :) I like it for the reasons she stated but also because I think the fridge in the middle of the kitchen is way too big of a space hog, both functionally and aesthetically. In your plan, it's just a big block in the middle of a beautiful kitchen.

If you like the idea of that wall becoming a baking center, you really do need a sink in it to make it function well. In a kitchen that big, I don't think three sinks are overkill if they all serve a functional purpose. And, in this case, they would serve a function. However, the bar sink isn't too-too far away if you chose to use that while baking instead. Not as convenient but workable. I guess it depends on how often you bake. Although, with a sink, it could serve as a tertiary prep center as well (with the island being the secondary prep space).

Your plans are gorgeous. It is going to be a grand space. A real show-stopper. I usually don't love curved arches but I love yours as drawn in both the entry and the window. And the columns! Just grand.

Oh, last comment, because I'm a window person. Do you have a good view? You have so many cabinets. I think taking out a few to have more windows would be wonderful. Even if you view is only OK it would be great to get more natural light in there. I think all those cabinets are amazing but almost too many so the windows, I think, would lighten things up. I'm just concerned that so many cabinets going up so high and across windows might feel a bit dark and overbearing. If you're not as into windows as I am, YMMV.

Looking good O! One idea, then a couple of small things.

What if you moved the clean up sink and dish storage to the left end of the plan? You could put a nice big prep sink centered on your big window. I'm envisioning husband or kids helping load/unload or set the table while you're getting supper on...yall might be tripping over each other in that corner. If you do that I might lose the uppers between ref and range and put in a really huge window.

The 9 foot island length may limit your countertop choices if you want that to be seamless. You might look into that before you finalize cabinets.

You'll need more than a 12" overhang on your island for comfortable seating. Min recommended for counter height is 15", 18" might be more comfy.

You might want to search here for drawers vs doors on lower cabs. Most here prefer most if not all lowers be drawers.

Do you have separate pantry space elsewhere? If not I might look at losing the small sink lower right and doing tall pantry cabs there.

I agree with funkycamper about fridge as obstacle, and I was so focused on it that I missed the overhang. Good catch, jackson2348. If windows can't be moved, and a prep sink can be added, jackson's idea is better than the current plan, IMO.

Ditto what Jackson and Mama Goose said. Definitely go mostly drawers in the bottom. Much more accessible, easier to organize, and usually hold a lot more items in the same footprint.

thanks for the great feedback. Keep them coming! Unfortunately the current window position by the sink can't be move as that exist now. The other bank of windows on the left side would be new as that's where the door is now and we ar moving that entry point to the mud room to increase counter space so it does limit our options for the fridge

In that case, perhaps the easiest fix would be to switch the fridge and range locations and then move the DW to the other side of the sink.

^ Ditto. A nice hood would look much better while entering your kitchen than a fridge, imho, even if you panel the fridge. I would consider a prep sink in that island. It's plenty big enough for one and it's nice to have separate sinks for prep and clean-up. I can't read the aisle width for the aisle behind the island. You will want at least 48" for two people to work comfortably. We prefer 54". You might do a mock-up to see what you're comfortable with.

I just re-read your post and you're really looking more for design ideas. I don't fancy myself a designer. Maybe my post will bump things up so someone with a good design eye sees this discussion.

I'd go with the range on the left w/a window on either side of it. fridge on the right wing and dw to right of the sink.

drawers, drawers, drawers.
