Kitchen/Mudroom addition layout
Comments (32)So the cost of removing the wall would be about 5k, not cheap but not prohibitive. The wall is really thick, so losing the wall gains me an extra foot of interior length (for simplicity I hadn't draw that into the prior sketches). Here was my basic idea stealing concepts from some of the great ideas above. It bumps the cabinets back enough to make the island 36" and give 48" of clearance all around and opens up a back path to what I see as sort of a "butler's pantry" concept, still keeping a closed off walk-in pantry with a pocket door to allow access. I have enough room to unstack the washer/dryer and can put them on pedestals which ideally I prefer to the floor standing or stacked configuration. I also get more light into the kitchen (I can put a window somewhere along the W/D wall, exact size and placement TBD but figured something near the sink). and should have a decent line of sight into the backyard. The wall I had the fridge and SO/coffee on (backing to w/i pantry) becomes smaller and can now fit 87.5" of stuff (lost 4.5" extra space due to recess of pocket door)). So gives me room for a 27" pantry type cabinet and the fridge/speed oven or I could maybe drop the drawer fridge and instead do a 30" fridge column + 24" freezer column, trim SO/coffee out to 30" (there's a kit for that) and have 3.5" of wiggle room. The bigger fridge/freezer combo would actually be cheaper than the french door + drawer fridge combo. The bigger door clearance is a mild concern, but if I stick the fridge on the end near range (which makes the most sense anyway) the door shouldn't really get in the way of island. Plan to keep sink and at least 1 dishwasher where it was, perhaps relocate the 2nd dishwasher next to the second sink? Thanks in advance for the input!...See MoreLG Viatera Muse Counters- backsplash ideas?

Comments (9)I'm sure if you forced the issue you could install what you want and forgo the warranty, not that I would advise you do that. My understanding is that most of what is labeled Super White behaves like marble because it IS marble. Alternatively, there's now a ton of marble-ish quartz patterns made by many companies, none of them are going to be a dead ringer for super white but they are still very nice in their own right. I personally used both LG Viatera Muse and Aura in my house. Aura in particular I think gives some of the feel of super white with lots going in in various shades of white and grey which is why I liked it. Karis also is nice and seems to be very similar to Muse with more veining.

Comments (11)I wouldn't work about cooking dust and whatnot you need an island chandelier for sure. Id go with a 50"-60" pendant with that size of island. There are plenty to choose from. This one is 54". You may also want to consider something open with no glass so it visually doesnt block what is behind it....See MoreDrB477
