Kitchen Design Input Please
Comments (2)A "mock up" of the kitchen - the space closest to the front left is the dining area with a 6' dining table (4' from and perpendicular to island). I can post more pics if that would be helpful. Thanks!...See MoreThoughts and input on this kitchen design please...
Comments (9)Have you had a chance to read the Layout Help FAQ? It shows you what CPArtist is asking about when she asked about measurements. We really need to see the measurements to know whether your layout will really work. I'm already concerned about your aisles in general. Are you measuring your aisles cabinet-to-cabinet? If so, then your aisles are 3" narrower than you think they are. Unfortunately, many KDs and GCs mistakenly measure aisles cabinet-to-cabinet. Aisles are measured to/from the items that stick out in the aisle the farthest - counters, appliances/appliance handles, etc. Here's the Layout Help FAQ: How do I ask for Layout Help and what information should I include? http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2767033/how-do-i-ask-for-layout-help-and-what-information-should-i-include . In addition we have a series of Kitchen Design Best Practices/Guidelines FAQ threads. These FAQ threads explain best practices/good design guidelines for items such as work zones, aisles, island/peninsula seating, etc. These threads will help you understand questions/comments you will receive. Kitchen work zones, what are they? http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/3638270/faq-kitchen-work-zones-what-are-they Aisle widths, walkways, seating overhangs, work and landing space, and others http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/3638304/faq-aisle-widths-walkways-seating-overhangs-work-landing-space-etc How do I plan for storage? Types of Storage? What to Store Where? http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/3638376/faq-how-do-i-plan-for-storage Ice. Water. Stone. Fire (Looking for layout help?

Comments (25)Second that on Building a Home forum. There are a number of builders and architects that do reviews on that forum. They leave the kitchens to this group. I like the second island much better. Primarily because the stools are only two by two instead of four in a row. Being able to face someone while seated makes for a much more social environment. That's a great improvement for that issue. Where is the pantry? Where is the food storage? You will need a prep sink. And, remember to design this with as many drawers in the base cabinets. Drawers are a much more efficient storage method....See MoreInput on dining room interior design please
Comments (15)Thank you for including pics of your setup, @cubby14. That's helpful to get a feel for how it looks with chairs on both sides of the table. I really like how you have the pops of teal/turquoise....looks so nice. @jck910, I'd say my home's decor style is modern/contemporary with touches of glam. I have marble/stone table tops for my coffee/end tables in my family room, which is the adjacent room. Flooring is greyish lvp with the abstract rug pictured in the moodboard. @elcieg, good point. I didn't really consider that. However, here's a pic where skinny legged chairs have been paired with this table:...See MoreKW PNW Z8
