I'd probably work with this latest plan[1st one in last post] If the 2 units fit[W/D], put them under the window by the back door. Leave more of the original lower wall[to the left of back door] and place more coat hanging/cubby hole/hook capacity on mudroom side...you'll want and need it...with the counter/cabs that wrap around on right of fridge,place 2nd small sink in corner or just after turn.Leave some space for a built in bench under 2nd window,closer to lower laundry set up. [with storage or cubbies underneath] I think you'd get more use from area to right of fridge with laundry setup more localized with coat storage and such down by back door. The bench off to the right will be used and look better than the view of w/d constantly under the windows in a prime visual line. This all depends on if W/D will fit under windows by back door. If so,think also about a corner cabinet with glass doors on wall in corner to right of fridge....with laundry positioned elsewhere, this becomes a spot where you get more value from a decorative cabinet. The other glass cabinet is okay,but I'd cut in and have counter between the upper and lower parts-you'll want a spot to set things with 2 passages entering kitchen just there. [I agree with above-move range over and have at least 12 in cab to the left of range]...but you still want some counter at that glass hutch cabinet. If you didn't need anything in positions 6,7,8 I'd see a great antique,smallish table set up in the floorspace-or the bench occupying the space under the 2 windows as seating for a table pushed over that way. Looks as though you're more into wrapping things around the entire perimeter.Be sure and save in budget for furniturefeet and trim/details[glass uppers]in a few spots at least to up the character quotient.It'll be nice with a great floor and valances or some treatment over the windows positioned in different spots-that will be a great theme carried throughout. It's hard to always see on paper but you can make it so appealing from the looks standpoint/that's why shifting the W/D down has benefit if you can do it.

Do you think this table was also a library table at one point? I can't really tell if it has been modified, but if it were taller then I never would have come to acquire it because it wouldn't be bench-height ;-) fori -- > I kept wondering how you knew it was guaranteed quality, but I get it now. Thanks for the smile! franksmom -- > when we first brought it home, DH tightened it up and it seemed quite sturdy. But over the months of daily use as a dining table bench (by 8 and 4 year old boys) it started getting rickety again. Some, maybe all, of the screws and wing nuts are corroded, so they should probably be replaced. We didn't do much to it because DH hated it and I wasn't sure if we were going to keep it. But it grew on me, even though it couldn't be used as a bench.

Blast, I'd typed a message, hit the wrong key and it went away! Argh!! Try, try again. I'm good with spatial and function aspects of kitchens but I stumble when it comes to design advice so I'm hoping that others chime in, too. I love the stained lowers/white painted uppers look so that gets my vote but you can't go wrong with your other choice. And actually, now that I look at Plan E, the only uppers you'd have that could be painted white and could also have glass are the ones on the top wall - the 60" section. All other cabinetry on the perimeter is tall storage (pantry) or oven column. I'm afraid that having only one small section of white painted uppers will look unbalanced, like you ran out of cherry cabs and made do with something else. So you may be better off going with cherry perimeter and white island. You can lighten the look of all that cherry on the perimeter with glass fronted uppers in that 60" section. However, think about what you'll store in them so that form doesn't trump function. If you look at Giada's TV kitchen, the frost glass does obscure items but color still shows through. When you say tall cabinetry, are you referring to the pantry? Or do you mean uppers that sit on the counter? If the latter, they are usually shallower than the base and have a drawer at the bottom. That way you can have items on the counter in front and still open the cab doors. You could do one of these in part of that 60" section but I think I prefer only uppers here. It's a balance thing again. One upper with glass, one upper to the counter with glass, each the only one of its kind in the kitchen. If you had more uppers, then I'd say, go with a to-the-counter unit. If you look at Giada's TV kitchen again, you might see what I mean about balance. Have you discovered houzz.com yet? Gobs and gobs and gobs of kitchens just waiting for you to discover them. Seriously addictive. ;-) Ooh, I just did a search for "white upper cabinets" and found this stunner. [[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/presidio-heights-condo-contemporary-kitchen-san-francisco-phvw-vp~65186) [contemporary dining room design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/contemporary-dining-room-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_722~s_2103) by san francisco interior designer Artistic Designs for Living, Tineke Triggs It's the reverse of what you wrote - stained uppers with frosted glass, stained island, white lowers and white talls. You could easily do something similar - white uppers with frosted glass, white talls, cherry lowers and island. That would give you balance.

We are using a designer, as we thought that this would be sufficient for a remodel. As for the kitchen, I think that the reason for the pantry is so that the kitchen can take full advantage of the lake views and maybe because of budget? This is a cottage, so we are trying to keep the budget under control, which the designer knows. She is trying to give us the best possible layout without having to move very many walls. I'm thinking that maybe this was the wrong place to post. I've been reading other threads and it appears most houses are starting from scratch! We are in the situation where we have to work with what we have - especially when it comes to window placement. As for the measurements, I'm sure that she will give them to me. I just thought that I was supposed to be able to figure them out from looking at the plans :)
