Comments (17)Putting your refrigerator against an outside wall with the entry door opening against it will not only bang up your refrigerator but could also make it difficult for you to open your refrigerator doors entirely in order to remove the shelves and/or veggie drawers for a thorough cleaning if your refrigerator hinge were to be on the left. What is outside that exterior door -- any chance it is a porch or deck and you could change the hinged door for a sliding glass one? If you know you will have a double door refrigerator, and since you could clean shelves without removing them, the remaining concern would be if you were planning to put a wall on the right side of the refrigerator. Wouldn't; just leave the side of the refrigerator show between the countertop and overhead cabinet and set your refrigerator far enough out so the cabinets don't interfere with opening the refrigerator door all the way. Consider moving your wall ovens to the right: have the wall to the right of your wall ovens be even with the opening to the right of it so that you can put a wider countertop between the cooking surface and the ovens. You need space to set a large heavy pot on both sides of any cooktop. Is the dining area within this kitchen your only dining area? If not, you might well consider other alternatives in lieu of both an island and a table -- you could create one very long island ... ... but only put base cabinets in the one end of it nearest the sink; ... or put base cabinets only on each end and put your beverage fridge on one end and other storage in the other end; ... or you could put your base cabinets and beverage fridge only in the middle with a "pedestal" table in the "dining" end of the kitchen and, perhaps, a "desk" end or a pedestal for seating for two nearer to the sink. http://xlian.me/the-most-attractive-bar-height-kitchen-table-island-home-decor/kitchen-island-ideas-breakfast-bar-kitchen-island-spectacular-in-bar-height-kitchen-table-island-prepare/ You can keep the island countertop a rectangle the same width for its entire length and/or have it widen beyond the double ovens and still have room for your six chairs. In a smaller kitchen, if at all possible, round the four corners of any rectangular island....See MoreFeedback on kitchen remodel as part of condo remodel
Comments (8)No expert here, but the layout is confusing to me. What are all those dark, shaded blocks--new walls? It seems to me the traffic flow through your original kitchen would be better, but without knowing what you are trying to achieve here, it's hard to say. I'm right handed and appreciate having my dishwasher to the right, but plenty of right-handed people will tell you that having it on the left isn't a problem at all....See MoreKitchen window - above cooktop and framed by kitchen joinery? feedback
Comments (9)I don’t think you’ll get much feedback from people who have put a cooktop in front of a window because I don’t think it would occur to many people to do this. It seems like a bad idea. You will constantly be cleaning it. Bump a pot the wrong way and you can scratch or crack the glass. It seems what you are envisioning is a direct-set window, with the glass flush with the countertop/cabinets. This would mean if you ever had to replace the glass, you’d have to do it from outside by removing the trim, as the window frame would be behind the countertop and cabinets. What direction does the window face?...See Morelooking for kitchen remodel layout feedback
Comments (15)thanks so much—I so appreciate the feedback. yes there is a prep sink on the top right of the island and also on the breakfast / drinks bar….i also have a fridge/freezer drawer on the breakfast bar. here is a video of a DIY facelift I gave it when we moved in—well it won’t let me 🤦🏼♀️...See Moreshaxs
