Maybe I put the sink all the way to the left where you have a cabinet right now. I could put a little glass above. there maybe for nicer looking things

The refrigerator is 29.5 wide. We were leaving a little extra space for my step ladder to slide next to it

I think a 3'6" wide counter where your sink is with a 4'0" cabinet is ok

This is the step stool I have in pantry and I really like it. It doesn’t fit under the counter completely when folded

If you are ready for some more expenses, this is kind of neat. I am not sure how much that costs

I like your idea of the sink on the left with a glass cabinet on top very much :)

If you keep your idea of the little space for your step ladder, you will not need the pull-out at the end if you feel you don't need it. The little space would be enough to open the fridge door.

I was thinking that might be better use of space and cheaper

Somehow make it looked like we planned it and make the cabinet covering the beam so away

Says I need 2 inches on side back and top. I I left extra room over to the side to open the door comfortably no one would ever see it besides me. Maybe I hang my ironing board there too lol

The beam is no longer there? Do you know if there is one at all? If yes, where is it? You were talking about tupperware, can you keep a space on the 1'6" deep shelves and maybe make it a full cabinet? I have a 1'0" cabinet in my ktichen. All my tupperware even all my small appliances fit in there ... unless you use your tupperware very often and want it in your kitchen.

Yes beam still there in same place

Just cut off in the picture

Then I don't understand why you move the sink in that location in your last drawing

ok. I see ... the gray rectangle beside the sink is not a wall ... it is the beam

I have second thoughts about the sink being that much to the left ... your left elbow might not have enough room if there is a 2'0" deep full height cabinet right beside it ... unless the upper cabinet can be 1'4". If so, I think it would be fine to have a 1'4" deep cabinet sitting on a 2'0" counter. That would give you enough elbow room but I don't have too much hope that would work.

At the end, if you make the beam covered with a full height 2'0" cabinet and center the sink on the 1'0" deep cabinet above, I think you will have enough counter beside the fridge. Imo, a 2' long space beside the fridge would be enough to put your food (more is better, but 2' is fine).

The beam area is 1.5 if we get rid of the cabinet next to the refrigerator I will figure out how big the counter is

Maybe I make that lares look like the coffee bar. I do t know if I think it is important for sink to be centered? As long as there is some counter near the refrigerator

Area

I know the kd like the tall cabinet because how it would look from the kitchen but it’s kind of a waste of space for how I use the kitchen

This is a drawing that shows the length of your counter top if I put the empty space beside the fridge and skip the pull-out. You would have a 6'0" counter and two double doors upper cabinet (1'6" wide each). You can center your sink on one set of the upper cabinet and you would have enough room for your elbow depending on the size of the sink.

Note that I reserve more than required for the fridge so I believe the empty space at the end would be maybe like 1'0" wide.

EDIT: I think 8" deep shelves inside the cabinet where the beam is can be useful. You can store one layer of can food. I am not crazy when I need to pull the front row cans aside to see what is behind.

I think that’s fantastic!

I could make that area look more like a beverage center with cool backsplash

Yes I think those shallow shelves with be great! That cabinet will have to be 1’6”

Then I think, the space reserved at the end could be 2" less considering I reserved more space than necessary for the frigde. Do you know the size of your bar sink? I could tell you exactly how much space you have on the left of the sink for your elbow.

So many of us are jealous that you can have a 6'0" counter in a pantry! I know some people who don't have that much in their whole kitchen :)

I am very blessed! I doubt any other tenants are using the flex space line this but I think it will function well for us. One thing I don’t love about open kitchens is nowhere to put small appliances.i have kitchen sink picked out but not bar. I will make that a priority this weekend. Do you have a size you would recommend for the smace?

I am not familiar with bar sinks. Do you want undermount or sitting on the counter? To give you an idea, my software draws sinks 2'0" wide. With that measurement, you have 9" for your left elbow. I think you would not have a problem with that space but you could certainly have a sink smaller than that and it will give you more space on the left.

This is one way to store and have your small appliances handy. You would need to talk to your designer about this system and cost:

I suppose you could use it for toaster, food processor etc.

Do you know if your island is going to have a toe kick? It look nicer without one but I think you are standing in a more comfortable position if you have one (maybe you could get one on the 2 sides of the island where you will work (facing the cook top and the windows). If you get one, you could store games and wrapping paper in a shallow drawer (see the image where I showed you a step ladder below the cabinet). For sure I would not want to go under the island to get the games boards. I could maybe use that space for Christmas decorations but even that I am not sure. I think you have a locker in the building for that kind of storage anyway.

Suzanne- I wanted to show you latest drawings! I am asking for dimensions on closet and office. Closet may be wider than necessary. The closet gal and I did decide that 7’4” is good since I want to be able to put a graco bed and my husband is a bigger guy

Laundry

Guest bath due to Ansi guidelines this is how the bath laid out. I don’t hate the idea of a free standing piece of furniture between tub and toilet for storage

I’ve asked for the closet dimensions and will run that past closet designer

It looks good. I assume that the location of the sink in the pantry will change. My recommendation is to make the recessed wall behind the fridge 48" long. So if, with time, you change your fridge and it is wider than the one you will get now, it will still fit in the space.

Yes haven’t met with kd since we changed the pantry layout. I agree on the refrigerator planning for larger some day

Of course, I meant any length that you will reserve for the fridge and the step space which I believe is more like 40".

Would you be interested I look at the storage below your island? If so, I will need the dimensions

I just started to look at private area for bathroom. It does not look like a cave as much as I thought. I think it could work if you keep the color light. The first picture is a toilet area that I believe will be close to the dimensions you will have. The second one, I just wanted to show it to you because you might like the idea of covering the back wall with the same tiles as your shower. I think it could look nice if you have a pony wall between the toilet and shower to see the continuity. It may not be the style of tiles you like, but it is just an example of a toilet with a tiled back wall:

Island is 51.5 inches x 11.5 ft. I have decided to put some butcher block top on the end so I don’t have a seam. I’ll find a picture what I’m thinking

I think the whole bath will be tiled

I don’t think I can do a pony wall because the plumbing in that wall. I do plant to keep
It as light and airy as possible

The part that I colored darker thinking of butcher block top

Suzanne- you have mentioned that you think 7’ wide is optimal for walk in. Right now ours is 7’6”. I’m wondering if I should change that? The pocket door to the closet is 34” and needs to stay that size I would like room on side walls for hooks for everyday jackets and robes. I’m worried about the return walls on the entry closet if that will be lost space. If I gave that area a few more inches and maybe larger doors might be more useful. Please let me know if you have an opinion🤗also asking closet designer

You could maybe do something like that:

It looked at the island. I looks good. The only thing that I wish you could do is to have your sink closer to the butcher block when you want to rinse the veggies before cutting them. I just don't know how to accomplish that unless you are willing to uncenter the sink.

I am willing to un center the sink just want space to the right to set hand washed dishes I work left to right maybe just garbage can to right of sink because unlike to chop close to garbage as well. Thanks for the closet idea! How wide would you make master closet? I’m going to see what optimal front closet size is to have right size doors for least wasted side wall

So you would not give any more space to the office?

What did you mean by: 'because unlike to chop close to garbage as well'? Is there an easy way to tell me what would be your organize system below your island? Will you have drawers? Cabinets with doors? I think you mentioned something about open shelves, is it beside the cook top or below the island?

Another option for your robes if you find them far to get them you could reserve an 8" empty space (or so) beside the wall where the shower is and put hooks there. The only think is that if you have more than one hook, you would have to take the clothe on the first hook to reach the second clothe:

I think even if your husband is a big guy, you could make your WIC 7'2 3/4" wide and it would still be fine. In that case, your office would be 6'6". But it would not allow for 6'0" double door for your entrance closet though. I think you need about 6'8" wide closet to put 6'0" with a door frame closet around it (that would need to be check with your contractor). However there are standard doors 32" wide or I think you can get custom made doors but they are more expensive. Note that you could make your office 6'6" and your entrance closet a little longer to allow for 6'0" double and its frame around it. The few extra inches stolen from the WIC would still be ok to hang regular clothes ... or put your robes there as already suggested.

EDIT: Since you need to make your entrance closet longer to be able to get wider doors, you could keep the closet as 7'4" as you had originally.

How deep is the base of the furniture your sister is giving you? What is the length of the wall marked with the red line?

EDIT: Since you don't have a full length closet on the pantry wall, I think you could make the walkway in the pantry 4'0" wide. You would get more profit in functionality with the extra inches there than the extra inches in the bedroom.

The furniture that my sister is giving me is 21” deep at the base. I’m not sure why that dimension is there. It’s more that 18” and less that 24” lol so I’m hoping we will be close with 21”. When I put 2 of the pieces together it will 59 “ wide

There is currently 48 “ walkway in pantry leaving that as is for 2 people to be in there at the same time

Ok. I did not see it.
