Do NOT mix the two. Pick one, do not combine two "marble" looks. . That said.......

Before any and all changes, first consider appliances, layout, and whether you will be well served with tweaks to the existing kitchen. Sometimes...............not.

In what I see? A re location of cook top and venting to the wall with the fridge, perhaps a range versus cook top. Fridge, counter depth, where ovens and pantry are. .....a consideration as to whether you would be better served with a peninsula and eliminating island as is often the case in this very typical layout. Not every kitchen is meant for one, and a 14' width is one of them. ( Bet I am close )

Much to consider here, before you take half measures. Were you my client, I would tell you wait on all until a more major change addressing dated appliances and locations, storage etc., , if at ALL possible. Much thinking is in order.

Thank you Jan for your thoughts!

Post a measured layout for more ideas.

IMO your biggest obstacle to any plan is the floor. I suggest you spend no money on counters/backsplash until you take that color tile into consideration. If it is a keeper, rethink your color choices.

The biggest issue ? Apps and layout Wait and get more value with a more complete remodel

Just getting home from a long day at work... Many thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your ideas. I agree that the one countertop style will be better, and will likely go with the Ironsbridge. Re the apps: We are buying a new cooktop for the island. The fridge and dishwasher are newer. May or may not replace the double oven in the near future. We are keeping the cabinets as they are--just repainting them, changing the cabinet hardware. We can't afford to do a major remodel/layout change at this time. We have lived in our home for over 20 years--it was quite new when we bought it) and the layout has worked well for us, although I understand it is good to have an open mind and consider other ideas. I hear what you are saying about the island/width of kitchen, but it has functioned well for us and acts as a nice buffet when guests come for parties and I hang out there a lot on my computer as well. Not sure how a peninsula would work better but would be curious to see where that would be placed, and what it would allow. We have doors to our deck in the kitchen, and in front of that a table and four chairs (will definitely be updating those as well, from a rectangular table to a round one, to provide better flow.) You are correct that the width of the kitchen is about 14 feet. I will attach a layout that was created by someone who gave us a bid on redoing the cabinets. Thanks again.

The photos of the layout are not quite accurate that I am attaching. The wet bar does not have a raised bar height counter and bar stools, but rather a lower bookshelf for cookbooks, under which we have a recycling area. And the wall by the desk extends another 6 feet to meet up with a hallway to front hall, so it is not tucked in to that right angle wall. But otherwise the pics provide a good sense of the layout.

Your plans were done by a cabinet seller, not a designer. Evidence is the DESK. If you are going to have an island in the limited space........make better use of the desk wall . Single oven/ microwave, FRIDGE, and pantry. In dining room to desk, order.

Range on the wall where fridge currently is, as once the hulking fridge moves...... the kitchen OPENS visually. Bonus is an island with no cook function, more storage..... a trash /recycle pullout, not even considered in the plans you've shown.

You can do as you will. But I'd consult an actual KD before I embarked on even a partial re do. : )

Many thanks Jan. Good idea – – I will think about getting advice from a kitchen designer. I appreciate your help.
