We have the 2013 model of this Smart Vizio LED HDTV in our kitchen and it's fantastic. I buy all of the electronics and gadgets for our household and I'm an obsessive researcher. I stopped listening to workers at stores when a guy at Lowes told me that all wood floors were made from oak - lol. I paid $200 for ours in Nov '13. Edited to add the link to the newer model that costs $168 at Amazon. VIZIO E24-C1 24-Inch 1080p Smart LED HDTV It fits perfectly under our cabinet, has a crisp, clear picture, excellent sound and the refresh rate (60hz) has never given us a blurry picture. The picture is just as sharp (if not better) and stable as our big Sony HDTV with a refresh rate of 240hz. It's very easy to set up too. We have a digital cable box but it also has built in apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc. I LOVE my television time (I also listen to NPR lol) so I searched for the biggest and best TV that I could find that would fit under the cabinet. Most TVs were too small because they were always on a stand that took up precious screen space. Ours has the older rear mounted tilted stand so can't say how much space the base on this one adds to the height for under cabinet placement. If you're going to mount it on a wall, that's a non-issue.

What is the thing that looks like a DW in the island? I like the plan but I think you should consider a few tweaks. Since we work ice-water-stone-fire, I would eliminate or move that thing in the island and put your sink closer to that end. You would want a good 18-24" in the corner to be a landing space for items coming out of the fridge, then you move left to wash, then you move left again to your nice, long stretch of prep counter. It's a nice workflow. The way you have it now, you're having to take items from the fridge to the other end of the counter and work backwards. And you don't have a good space for putting the to-be-washed item on one side of the sink and the washed on the other. If you move the sink down, you can put drawers facing the clean-up sink/DW on the end of the island so you have plenty of drawer space close to the DW for your daily dishes, eating utensils, glasses, etc. And nice job coming up with the additional pantry area outside the kitchen. It will be great for overflow items. Between that pantry and the under-stair pullouts, you will have a ton of great storage. Very cool. Oh, a couple more things about the island: What are your aisles widths? Particularly between fridge and the seating on that end of the island. You want there to be enough space for someone to walk behind someone else sitting at the end to access the fridge. I'd try to have at least 44" from the counter edge of the island to the stairway wall. And really think about the raised counter idea. There have been tons of posts here at GW where people are pulling those out and going to a solid counter-height island with the eating at regular counter height, not bar height. It is so much more comfortable to sit at counter height stools than bar height ones. And the raised bar counter, unless quite a bit wider than you're showing it, is a magnet for spills and breakage if people accidentally scootch a glass or plate too close to the edge. Most people don't feel that the advantage of the bar-height counter for hiding messes is worth the many other disadvantage. There have been a lot of discussions about this issue. You might want to do a search for them and read through before making a final decision. All in all, your kitchen is really coming together quite nicely. Yay!!

I love the bar/pantry behind the sliding doors to the right of the range. It's a secret celebration just waiting for the right moment ;)

I love this so much. I never tire of I Love Lucy, no matter if I've seen the episodes eleventy-hundred times already. The colorized special that aired recently where the girls decide to protest gender inequality contains what are probably my favorite lines of all time: Lucy/Ethel: "Ricky, Fred - we're revolting." Ricky (sideways glance at the girls): "No more than usual."
