bmorepanic, how would I accomplish that type of island counter and have seating? Would the ends be some type of more narrow cabinetry? I showed it to dh and he likes the rectangular look also. Seems to "anchor" better in our room and fit with the overall shape. The refrigerator flush thing. How would you build out with 2x4s? Actually build the entire length of the wall out? Would I have to have more granite to fill in at the back? Mostly, what happens when you get down to my angled corner? Now I am considering the "bump" out into the family room to recess the frig into the wall. Not sure how that is going to look in the other room. malhgold, I have intentionally left that 36" space blank for now. I will eventually put something there, but I really wanted to have some space left for after I was LIVING in it to see what I would need/want there. If I promise to eventually fill that space in with something, then may I leave the island over that far? Or is it that it should end with the cabinetry for a balanced look? I am going to see granite folks this week and will ask them about that countertop look, but not with the sharp corners. Thanks again....what is nice now...when I look at my kitchen design I feel like I am at home. Final tweaking, but I very happy with this decision! ccat

Your plan is very difficult to read, so I'm not sure I have this right. Following are three plans, all with an island/table combo. The first one keeps the clean-up sink under the larger window, with a prep sink on the island. The island is drawn 33" deep--you could have a deep drawer base for dishes, or have shallow shelves on the back of the island, for extra pantry storage. The floor vent is routed under the cabinet, and out the side. (Click to enlarge.) The second plan has the clean-up zone on the island, and a prep sink on the long run, where you would prep with a view of the back yard. The last plan puts the fridge on the short wall, and the range on the long wall, with the original window intact. There isn't much prep space on the island (unless you use part of the table for prep)--you'd need to step across the aisle after washing produce at the sink, but there is a nice counter beside the range, with the back yard view. You could use a MW drawer beside the range, and have a corner prep sink, with access to plumbing via the powder room (if possible). ETA one more, with the corner prep sink, and an alternate table:

Hi, , wolfgang80. Your floorplan didn't show up.

What an interesting project! It looks as if it was a kitchen laid out for the help, or caters, in a well-to-do household. I'm not a designer, but I love old house renovations, and I hope you keep us updated along the way. I like a prep sink on the island and clean-up on the perimeter--but in this case your island view is of pantry and pantry doors. We spend more time prepping items for a meal, than in clean-up, so I moved the main sink to the island, as you suggested. I drew the prep sink in front of the thin strip of wall--since most of prep work happens on one side or the other of a sink, you have the choice to prep in front of the windows, or on the peninsula, facing the sunroom. Given a choice, I wouldn't put the fridge so far from the range, but in an old house remodel, sometimes we don't have as many options. I did include a MW drawer on the corner of the peninsula near the fridge, for convenience. The island width is reduced by 12"--6" for each short aisle. I'd like to see a wider work aisle, but it looks as is the traffic aisle is already at the NKBA recommended minimum of 44". 42" is a one-person work aisle, and 48" is considered wide enough for two people. But, with the DW to the right of the sink, the works zones can be separated--except for the zone-crossing between appliances. If you don't want a corner susan, the corner can be voided in favor of wider drawers, but you'll need filler in the corner to make sure the drawers clear the oven handle and hardware on perpendicular cabinets. As for the deep pantry closet, maybe just 18" deep shelves for items too big for kitchen drawers. If it hasn't already been decided, I'd suggest drawers for all base cabinets. The bases on each side of the range are narrow, so pull-outs might work better there. Good luck! ETA, the only way I could think of to improve the prep/cooking triangle would be to close the kitchen to the sunroom and put the fridge on that wall, but you would give up all that lovely natural light:
