Thanks for all of your suggestions. I would like to keep the main sink on the east wall so I can gaze out the window when doing dishes. And yes owls4me I did put the fridge on the south wall because the main traffic pattern is from the dining room, and I was trying to avoid having the fridge doors open while people are trying to walk through that aisle. I thought the wall oven placement would be ok in that isle since it is used less frequently (since I also have a range. I switched the microwave to the other side of the range, and slide the south wall cabinet run down further per the suggestions. Some have said the trash is too far from the prep sink. I was assuming having it close to the main sink would be more desirable? Bmorepanic, I love the idea of a window seat on the east window. Great way to add some personality.

I agree about the corner base cabinets...while it's nice to have the extra countertop when you have diagonal cabinets, you really don't have the room in your kitchen for them. The cabinets w/a 90o corner will give you 12" of "breathing space" on each side of the range as well as open the kitchen up somewhat. As to the uppers, I think the problem w/the corner cabinets on the wall is the hood. The hood is pretty big for your kitchen and when combined with the diagonal corner upper cabinets it looks pretty crowded on that wall. I'd either change the hood to something less "massive" or also put in upper cabinets w/a 90o corner. As to baskets...it probably isn't a good idea to store your potatoes & onions that close to each other. This topic periodically comes up and it's usually brought up that these items should not be stored together.

Hi, plan looks great to my amateur eye, but I would like to offer a few thoughts. Your dishes seem kind of far away from the dw. Would you want to store them to the left of the sink instead? Also- Offset drains are a good idea to maximize space under the sink - looks your trash is going to be under the sink. You might consider a left offset drain instead of right offset, so the trash isn't in front of you while you're prepping on the countertop to the left of the sink. People will come into your prep space and make you move so they can throw things away. Ask me how I know. :) Creategoodsinks has some cool left offset drain workstation sinks that I'm eyeing for my hopefully-someday remodel. Good luck!

I like mama goose's plan above. Much better. I understand your thoughts about aisle space, but how old are your kids? Remember that in a few short years you will have a lot of full-sized bodies hanging out in this space together. We are three adults in a new kitchen with 48" aisles (moved from a tiny one) and it is wonderful. We can walk past each other comfortably, and there is room to get by with a fridge door, oven door, dishwasher door, etc open. It's also a joy to be able to have both the dishwasher open and the dish drawers across from it open to unload into! :) Personally, if it were me, I would decrease some of the appliance sizes in order to create more storage in more cabinets, and then shrink the island a little. Are you planning a counter-depth fridge? I guess the sub-zero is a built-in? Just thinking about the standard depth fridge also jutting into the room quite a bit potentially adding to the aisle issue. cpartist will remind us that we need to measure aisle distance from counter-edge to counter-edge. I was quite surprised when our cabinets went in, because everyone talks about 24" deep standard measurements. But actually, that's the depth of the boxes only. Drawer faces/cabinet doors can be 3/4", plus hardware, and then countertops overhang 1.5" to cover those door faces (25.5" counters are standard). On the island, the cabinet door/drawer faces on both sides will add a total 1.5", plus the 1.5" countertop on all sides. Those aisle inches really start to get eaten up! We ended up making last minute adjustments to our island dimensions when the pieces started coming in! :) We found it extremely useful to physically walk ourselves through the various routines of the day while cooking to imagine how we might use the space. If you haven't already, you might do this imagining yourselves a few years down the road with bigger kids/teens (presuming that yours are still young at the moment). Imagine wanting 2 kids on dish duty, while an older teen and 2 friends run in to the fridge looking for snacks, while you and another child are working on prep for dinner. Perhaps you have something in the oven that needs to come out when the timer dings. Will it be chaos of bumping into each other and people banging into open doors? Lol. Or will there be logical pathways for everyone to go about their business in harmony? In our case, we knew that we needed everyone to be able to be doing something different in the kitchen at the same time in different ways, while still being comfortable. My mom can be baking and accessing a clean-up sink while we are prepping and making dinner, or we can be washing dishes and heating up snacks while she preps a big salad or makes her dinner; my DH can get his coffee and toast in the mornings while we are making oatmeal and tea...which means we can all live together comfortably for many years to come.
