I find it is what seems most natural for you is what I do for clients. it also often depends on what you are going to put there and how that relates to where you will use those items .

@Patricia Colwell Consulting Thanks. I have no idea what i'll be putting in there yet :-D The kitchen isn't huge. The stove is to the right of this (and an island is close by), so i'm not sure if anything would be much of an inconvenience -- just want it to look right

I would leave it as is.

@cat_ky thanks. there is no blank space, they are just still setting things up. there is a narrow cabinet for cookie sheets, and next to that the sink cabinet.

Whichever way you keep it, make sure they countersink those screws or your finish will get ruined.

This layout is exactly what we have, and ours swings the way yours does. I use that counter space above those drawers as my baking area and the super susan holds most of my baking ingredients, the drawers hold my baking tools. So the door swing is perfect.

@ILoveRed Thanks but I have no idea what that means. Please elaborate

I think it depends on if you are left handed or right handed....Do you reach with your left hand to open your doors? Then leave it as it is. If you reach with your right hand to open your doors, then it should be changed. I speak from experience...my husband is left handed and when he built our cabinets in the garage, they are awkward for me but just right for him.

An old thread that describes this issue..

That’s the way mine swings and prefer it that way. Open cabinet with left hand and grab what I want with right. If I were left handed I think I would prefer it to swing the other way.
