First I love the color Forestwood. It's my trim color on the outside of the house and it's lush.

What is the break in cabinets to the left of the window on the back wall?

Thanks CPartist. Great to hear that about Forestwood. I will have to find your thread and take another look at the exterior trim.

Under the window is the sink, to the left of sink is dishwasher.

Since you are in the thread(big thank you!), in addition to feedback on tile placement, i’d Love your opinion on the tall cabinet on the back of the island. Specifically, where the wood wrapping the cabinet intersects the wood counter do you think it should continue underneath the counter to the floor?

I missed seeing that last night. What is the cabinet and what is the purpose of the cabinet? Normally when we see raised cabinets on an island they are usually at the short end. Do you have another view of it?

Will that wood counter on the island be at table height or at counter height?

Also just so I'm clear what goes in the empty space I circled? Is that where the DW is and whoever drew this rendition just forgot to put a top on?

Also how much space do you have between your sink and your stove?

Can I see a 2D plan too and a head on version of the 3D?

I can’t post more images now as am on a plane getting ready to leave I will but it will be much later tonight.

The purpose of the tall cabinet is storage(booze) and separation. It’s a small house. I can’t stand uppers so I need to squeeze in storage where I can.

The wood eating counter is counter height.

Yes he forgot to put top on DW. There is 32 inches to right of sink before stove

Have a safe flight.

I'm not sure I'm loving the booze cabinet as designed. Right now it feels a bit clumsy for lack of a better word. If I can see the 2D and other views I'm hoping it appears better in the other views but that also depends on the size of the island versus the cabinet which is why I want to see the 2D plan.

I'd also like to see the 2D version to see how the stove fits near the window. Is it centered on the wall between the window and the end of the wall?

What counter material are you thinking of with the wood? And what wall color? I'm assuming a light color? Once you get all the elements just right, your kitchen will be so smart looking.

Here's a different view of the island, I think I see what you are saying about the cabinet, it should be narrower.

It feels like there's too much going on with the island counter and cabinet in such a small space. I'm all for different focal points but the way it's designed it feels like it's going to be competing with your awesome hood/wood/tile perimeter.

How wide is the island, with and without the booze cabinet?

What are the room measurements? Can you post your 2d layout? Let's get that worked out and then the tile will work itself out too.

And one other thought. What about making the whole island top wood? Remember also that your cabinets being forest wood will also give them additional weight unlike how they're showing as white in your elevation.

My original plan for the island was all one level, with 1/2 cabinets facing the great room, no change in plane. These were the inspiration.

i do like those examples

If you'd prefer, you can message me and I can look at your plans that way.

I can get images to upload again. Is this what you wanted to see?

Yes although a bit larger would help my aging eyes. LOL. What is the door to the right under the stairs? And what is the width in there? Can you label the rooms for me?

And I'm assuming this is a reno and not a new build?

Labelled, and hopefully bigger

How big and what will the area circled in red be used for?

Are the stairs open or closed on the kitchen side?

How much room do you have to play with? What does the space look like now?
