Kitchen Remodel Layout Help

last month

I am planning a kitchen remodel - the kitchen is in the middle of the home, and has a walkway from the backdoor to the rest of the living space, so it makes changing the layout difficult. This was a custom kitchen circa 1982 - so it had all the bells and whistles (trashcompactor, ice maker, warming drawer, counter top blender :-), and built in refrigerator (it was only a refrigerator, no freezer). Since these pictures were taken we have removed the trashcompactor and put in a mini fridge, replaced the dishwasher, and the refrigerator with a frenchdoor refrigerator/freezer. My dream is to revamp totally!


Currently, the cabinets that are along the non-window wall are a custom depth (15 ") on the bottom, which allows more space on the walk-through side. Another added challenge is there is a soffit on that side of the kitchen that houses plumbing runs from the upstairs, so it won't be moving. My current issues with the space are: Wall oven is small, only 27" wide opening (but I like a double oven), the cooktop is in the island, limiting types of options for moving towards more of a range and hood set up (would love a nice big viking/wolf range), but don't like a hood over the island due to the site lines. (Currently has pop-up hood w/ gas range). The island needs to be replaced or modified to be able to fit the microwave , etc . The pantry is just the closet under the stairs that is near the kitchen eating area. The family is always hanging out on the island when I am cooking. Do you have any ideas on options to help solve some of these problems?
