If you leave clean-up on the wall with the range, it gives you a nice second prep space option. I would move the sink closer to the DW, even though that means it won't be centered on the window.

On the top wall it's not an obstruction to traffic from the entry, but with the DW open, seating on that side of the island will be tight. On the left wall, it's closer to the DR, with a narrower aisle. 'Six of one, a half-dozen of the other' as my grandmother used to say.

If you keep it where you currently have it, it's closer to the prep/cook area making it easier to plonk things into it during the prep/cook process which is my favorite thing to do as it keeps the kitchen from getting over ran with piles of dirty items. Even if you don't load them into DW as you are working, it's easy to just slide them down and load the DW. If you move sink/DW to the other wall, you will be more likely to just let dirty items pile-up which will then have to be lifted up and carried across down to the DW and loaded later. That sounds like more mess and work to me. I always try to choose the option that makes things easier, not harder. So I would keep it where it is now.

Leave it. That dish ware wall is just too fabulous.

And, I don't know, it would feel awkward to have it on the side like that, kind of out of the loop. It's handy where it is for taking care of things during prep, and for putting things away it's still so close to the storage. If it were on that wall, you'd always be walking around the open DW door to put things away. As it is, the counter gives you nice display space, storage space, even serving space. And it's perfect for a cookie jar!

hi great kitchen!

where will you store dishes etc once removed from the d/w? will it be in the cabinets to the left? then leave it.

that is one thing that drives me crazy. I don't like handling the dishes two times. Your set up is similar to what I have now and will be making minor changes this fall. I am moving my d/w over to the right side of the sink, but I have cabinets above- so I can take the clean stuff out and put them right away- one step.

also your entry from the garage? is it on the right where it says "homework or mud room" - its hard for me to read.

that is exactly where we enter ours and our fridge is in the same location and we are making that aisle a bit wider. Two people carrying in groceries, unloading etc always entering there. So we wanted a bit more room. Just a few inches helps.

lastly the 3'9" between range and island sounds good. Its a cook top, right? so you don't have to worry about backing up -taking a hot item out of an oven AND someone standing behind you.

what kind of cabinets are you doing? wood, painted, white?
