Ideas for odd-shaped kitchen with awkward low window?
Comments (8)OK...I have uploaded some pics to Flickr set at the attached link. I tried and failed to figure out how to post a picture as part of this message, so if anyone wants to explain it to me, feel free :) Please excuse the mess in the sink. As you will see, the problem is leaving room for accessing the office. I put down a measuring tape in one pic, it's hard to read but the length of the window wall there from the current counter end is about 3.5 feet. I originally thought "window seat" myself, but realized that a seat of any length would cause problems. Same for a sink, etc. One thought I have is to do a short lower cabinet area ending in a curve or angle?

Comments (16)Yeah that could definitely work. Maybe I could do 2.5" apart and 6 per panel instead of 3" so there would be less overlap on the outer panels. So then the next question becomes, what do I attach the nails to since we don't have window casings to play off of? The outside of the windows have cypress headers and my husband suggested mimicking those on the inside. I thought maybe I could use pallet wood stacked 3 high and distress it to make a faux header. Would that look ridiculous? Kind of like the pic above with the distressed wood and the hooks....See MoreNeed help with layout for kitchen with odd configuration
Comments (12)Thank you, lharpie, funkycamper, and buehl! Lots to think about. lharpie and buehl - I think you may be right about a movable cart being better than an island. funkycamper - is that a prep sink? It had never occurred to me that my kitchen was big enough to have two sinks! I love how that layout opens up the front window area. I wonder if there is a way to add more counter space near the range? My current layout, and my prior house, both had limited counter space near the cooktop and oven and it turns into a bit of a juggling act when I am cooking a lot of dishes. Also, I apologize for leaving out the stairs to the basement on the prior plan. I love your idea of a second pantry, but because of the basement stairs, I am not sure it could go in that spot. buehl - I am adding an updated layout that has the entire first floor and I think has all the relevant dimensions. Good point about the fridge. It is currently next to a wall and that does obstruct the side door. There is an unfinished basement and I have added the stairs and access area to that. The room to the left where the basement stairs are is sort of a dead space right now. The full bath next to the kitchen needs remodeling as well, and I have thought of moving the bath closer to the basement to make more kitchen space. I am not sure that level of alteration is in my budget, however. I also have another bathroom upstairs and some exterior work to do. The main entry door on the main floor is the side door that opens to the dining room. The front door actually opens to the second floor. It is an unusual layout!...See MoreOdd corner window, need help with draperies.
Comments (8)Given the short length of the small window on the left wall and the much longer length on the right, you may need to buy 2 separate rods that are the appropriate length for each window and then get a corner rod connector. I haven’t seen ready made corner rods in off lengths like your setup, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. But if you have a hard time finding it, the corner connector should be the solution you need....See MoreCelery. Visualization, Rendering images
