Forgot to plan for MW and toaster oven! Where to squeeze them in?
Comments (13)Dianalo, I originally thought of doing that and building shelves/cabs for the TO and MW against the side of the fridge, but that's what my KD warned me against as she felt it would leave very little backsplash visible and the overall look would be cramped. After her sketching it out on the paper plan (a copy of the one I posted above), I see her point... Just doesn't seem like it would be a very attractive solution. But it is hard coming up with alternatives! Also, I use my TO a lot and will keep using it after the kitchen is redone, since my new oven will be 36" and I don't want to crank that big thing up if I can use the TO instead. Hence the need to find space for both TO and MW. Melissastar, I love your solution and wish I could borrow it! Bit I have four kiddos and the youngest are a young toddler and a baby, so a bit too risky. My toddler aleady tries to reach the MW and push buttons whenever he can, so it will need to stay at or above counter height for sure. Maruha, my pic doesn't show this but there is a door on the right hand wall just past the window. If I slide the sink under the window, anyone standing there will be in the way of the door swing, and as the door leads to the play set in our yard it is used pretty frequently. So I put the sink to the left of the window to allow for simultaneous use of doorway + sink. Marcydc, can you show me a pic of your micro drawer? Is it hard to lift out hot dinner plates, for example? I've never seen one in action so have a hard time understanding how it works in everyday usage. That might be a good solution? Are there particular brands, and which one do you have/like? Thanks so much and kee the ideas coming! I love it! Maybe we could find a way to squeeze them in along the side walls perhaps.... I appreciate all your suggestions!...See MoreLayout help, please. Where can I place the speec oven?
Comments (3)Here's the last one. Also - even though the plan shows a single built in fridge, it is actually two Freedom towers - 30" fridge and 18" freezer. The sink and d/w will be reversed. The door to the left of this photo is not an outside door, it is the dining room door, and it has no windows in it. Thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions....See MorePlacing wall oven next to refrigerator
Comments (5)I have a miele freezer column next to the wall ovens. The only problem is the way the freezer swings out to open. If the wall oven is open, and then the freezer door is opened, closing the oven door scrapes the wood panel on the freezer. Ask me how I know??? I don't think there is a heat/problem issues as both are well insulated. Check the specs....See MoreKitchen Plan and Double Wall Oven Question
Comments (8)For those of you without double ovens, what do you do when you have holidays or are cooking for a lot of guests? I used my Breville Smart Oven or/and Nesco portable 18 qt. The toaster oven is large enough for a side or keeping a dish warm. The Nesco is huge and can hold a variety of items in the buffet accessory or, cook and hold a large cut of meat. I also have a 6 qt Crockpot for holding mashed potatoes and the like. My stovetop pressure cooker can handle many items, too. Any thoughts, suggestions on the plan and my double oven issue? The fridge and wall oven(s) should swap places for better workflow. I'd want more room to the left of the cooktop. Speaking of which, a range would better serve you because it's not a huge kitchen that invites spreading the appliances out like you want. You may lose a cabinet underneath the cooktop but you gain a NICE pantry by deleting a wall oven cab. How many inches is the overhang for island seating? It looks a little chintzy....See MoreSteve
