Finalizing layout, hoping GWs approve?! Cooktop too squeezed?
Comments (13)Thank you all so much for great ideas and comments. Herbflavor thanks, again...you've been so helpful every time I post! I will definitly think about widening the "u". Eliminating the 4th seat would be a big compromise bc I have 3 kids and my dh works late a lot so I picture us eating there together a lot. But I usually eat standing up anyway so...?! That half of the door is fixed anyway so I think I could maybe still keep a seat there. I was concerned about widening the U too much though because I want to keep a comfortable path to the sliders between seats at peninsula and seats at dining table. But you think I do have enough room to go close to end of sliders? Question...Do I really need the Ref panels? They add 3". I have a wall on one side and a full height turned cabinet on other side. Could I just have the cabinets above the Ref attached to the wall on one side and the pantry cabinet on other side? I'd gain 3" of clearance around the island pinchpoint, worth it? No one has mentioned my cooktop shouldn't be within 4.5" of corner, so I'm thinking it's ok? Sena thanks, I do think I'm going to need to put something in my island. Anyone think I could just have 1 row of deep drawers along bottom of island, then finished open shelf above them, so the island/work table is like half "open"?...See MoreKitchen layout Vaulted ceiling layout (any suggestions)
Comments (9)The house is beautiful as it is, I mean stunningly beautiful and I'm sure when the "sold" sign went up on it there were a lot of people who love modern homes that cried. In a spirit of honesty that only one netcitizen can say to another -- work with the house not against it. Or at least live with it for a while and see if you don't fall in love with it the way it is and then come up with changes that will enhance it instead of making it embarrassed to show it's face in public. I think the fact that you are a traditional girl who's fallen for a modern home has the makings of a really great love story -- but only if you can love it for who it is and not by trying to change to be something it's not and never will be....See MoreNew Construction Kitchen Layout - Any Ideas?
Comments (11)Okay, so definitely no cooktop in the island. What are opinions on the main sink being in the island? cpartist - Another option. Thank you! If this was your kitchen, would you lay it out this way? If only I had a couple more feet on one side! Then I'd probably want two more.... I am concerned about the amount of counter space around the sink and cooktop. However, if I am thinking this through, you would work from left to right at the sink. Correct? Then work space at the cooktop would mainly be on the right (if you are standing at it). Hot items out of the oven would go to the island? Making school lunches would happen on the island after pulling items from the refrigerator and pantry? Trying to imagine myself and the family using this space. Our double ovens will actually be an oven/convection oven microwave combo. Oven on the bottom and convection oven/micro on top. That being said. Does this place the microwave too far away from the refrigerator?...See MorePlease help me with my kitchen layout. Any suggestions welcome!
Comments (8)Thank you sena01, Jillius and mama goose. My computer is down as we had to pack up the desk or the family room flooring so I had to take a photo on my phone of the plans I have with more dimensions. Since we are moving our kitchen to a new location, window sizes can be changed. I think a 48x36 would work above my sink window. Sadly, the window will now face the side of our house which isn't super attractive.. Just a fence and some vines. I have plans for a Prep sink on the island but I'm not sure what size I should get. I originally thought a 66" island might give me more breathing room as opposed to 72" but will that make for a functional island? A peninsula could be a possibility, but I worry that I will always be walking around it when setting the table or clearing as the new dining table/area will go to the right if the beverage bar. The family room/dining room is 28 ft long. The family room is long and narrow (11 ft wide where the fireplace is and 15 ft where the fireplace ends...where my family room will be. Where the plans show where the steam combi oven will go, I can chance the cabinet to a 24" as opposed to the 30" shown. Thank you so much for all of your suggestions! If you can see the attached photo, I would love more suggestions. -Susanne...See MoreKT Brown
