:) Need your help on a new kitchen layout please....
Comments (3)You said you had a sloping lot. Does this plan have a basement so you can utilize a walkout? To block off the kitchen: add a small broom closet facing the kitchen, at the top of the pantry. I would also turn the island 90 degrees to give a little more space in the DR if needed. For the bathroom toilet: -remove the door -move the toilet forward so that the front of it is even with the front of the sink cabinet -put up a wall behind the new toilet location -make a linen/storage closet accessible from the PR OR: -remove the door -move the toilet forward so that the front of it is even with the front of the sink cabinet -put up a wall behind the new toilet location -open the wall at the end of the left closet run -put shelves in the now available shoe/storage space...See MorePlease help me figure out new kitchen layout (where can microwave go?)
Comments (10)My Electrician was asking me where I planned to install my microwave -- he assumed I was going to do a built-in. Nope, just plugging in my $60-65 guy on the countertop, close to where I keep the dishes I'd microwave on. Yes, the fridge is further into the kitchen, but on the way out I'll microwave, and then walk out to the dining region (or outdoors) to eat. I guess most food I nuke is either for hot tea, takeout leftovers, and occasionally parmesan'd asparagus. Serve on whatever I nuke the food item on/in! Having it on the counter on the way out to the dining table is also useful if I host pot lucks. If I get tired of having appliances on the counter top, I can always put them in the pantry -- but I don't want to be moving it in and out especially if guests are going to be using it. (I will store *ugly* appliances in the pantry, or under the counters.... my crock pot is hopelessly stained, for instance.) I don't use it all that often, but often enough....See MorePlease...

Comments (3)@PNW Remodel Yes, I definitely agree about the double oven. Although we do use them at the same time all the time - I'd say 1-2X a week at least but they do ruin the flow and take up precious countertop space. We like having electric ovens honestly. We only have 18 inches to the left of the cooktop which is basically useless in terms of prep but it's good for cookbooks. By getting rid of the ovens we gain an additional 2-3 feet of countertop there which would be great. If we ditched the double oven we would want to get a duel fuel range with 2 ovens (or one that has an oven and a smaller one next to it.) If you're facing the breakfast area, under the bar directly below the sink is the world's most narrow cabinet (seriously it's like 3 inches wide) and a set of 3 drawers that house linens, the infamous junk drawer, and a heavy duty drawer that holds our cast iron stuff. There's nothing to the right of that but on the end of the peninsula there is a cabinet that holds our cookbooks currently but I'm begging my husband to turn it into a trash can slide out. We'll buy one of those converter kits. Currently our trash can is at the end of the peninsula area (blocking that cabinet) and it also cuts into the [very narrow] walkway there to begin with. On the opposite side (under the bar stools) is one cabinet on the far far right almost in the living room. We store stuff there that we don't need to access a lot (crock pot, waffle iron etc.)...See Morejjmpcook
