If you want to move the stove to the wall than a range might be best for you, based on the size of your kitchen. I also just moved my cooktop from the island to the wall because I wanted a decorative hood (which seemed to awkward on the island) and to use the island for seating. I'm putting in a microwave drawer into my island, that is something you could consider too.

This kitchen would be much better with a peninsula than an island, and a range rather than a cooktop and wall oven. It needs the major reconstructive surgery of a gut with many things moved and changed, not a minor update of paint and a lick and a promise.

Time to start planning the full gut remodel with a Kitchen Designer who can help you plan the space more efficiently, and who has connections with the contractor world to actually build the design. Also time to realistically assess your budget for the redo. 63K is the national average expense for a mid grade complete kitchen redo. 125K for an upscale redo. Choose your Pro wisely.

HI -- I agree with Sophie -- I use to do kitchens and the reason I say the island is not the best idea is because if you just moved the cooking area to that right wall , then that makes the island a road block between the stove and the sink . Not very efficient having to waltz around the island when cooking . I say eliminate that small island and have the sink section side straightened out and and reset to proper position and to stand alone and then that would be a big island with seating on the left side if you wish . I also do not see a pantry ... is there one we can not see in photos ?? As said before this is more than a cut and paste change !

Agree with advice for a redesign, use of a range and small microwave cabinet.

Wanted to also say that the angled wall is a terrible place for ovens because it's in a big traffic zone = burn hazard. You might get good use of a shallow pantry cabinet there, though! :)

HI -- I forgot to ask you before ... would you like to keep that same arrangement of the wall oven and the micro above ? If you do then moving the fridge and having all the cooking section all on that one wall would work better . Looking at the photos but not having any measurements I could maybe give you two ovens . But think about opening the kitchen more .... are you able to afford these changes at this time .

Thanks for everyone's suggestions! I had never thought of doing a peninsula. I'm at work and don't have the measurements immediately available, but I'll sketch up the kitchen layout with the measurements and post as soon as I can.

HI -- No peninsula Scott .. Island !!!

HI Scott -- going by your sketch --- Left wall (cooking wall ) remove the fridge but leave the wall oven tower and then center the new slide in stove (for second oven ) or just a cook top in the remaining space . Now re-move the small island and all of the other sink counter . Put the fridge across from where it was on the other side of that doorway . Now all the remaining space have a big island that will have the sink and dishwasher and storage . Have the sink across from the stove . This now has all the functions of the kitchens in the proper layout . The new island can now have stool seating on the opposite hall side if you want . I hope you can follow my explanation Scott.

Thanks Lefty! I think I'm following. Here is a new sketch. Is this what you were thinking?

HI -- No not what I said exactly --the fridge is by it self and the angled counter is gone and replaced with an island with the sink across from stove . Getting rid of the angled corners and counter .So you will need to move the sink and dishwasher from present location. Island should have 42 inches or 48 inches space between counters and island .

Oh, ok. I'm following you now. Good idea!!

Hi -- Scott ... what do you think of this plan .... is it going to work for you ?
