Comments (9)Personally, I would not move the DW to the other side of the sink, rather, I would move that drawer stack (or trash pullout). That would: (1) Place the trash pullout right where you need it most - in the Prep Zone and next to the Cooking Zone, (2) Make it easier to reach the trash while cleaning up as well (no dodging around an open DW), (3) Give you 39" to 42" of prep space b/w the corner and the sink (18" trash pullout + 12" drawer base or tray cabinet + 12" or 9" of the corner susan - see later about the susan's dimensions), and (3) Put your Prep Zone in front of the window. Most people spend at least 70% of their time prepping and only 20% cleaning up. The other 10% is spent cooking. I'd rather place the Zone I spend the most time in in front of the window....and that means the Prep Zone (with the sink next to it). Is the corner susan a 36"x36" corner susan? If it is not, I would seriously consider making it that size. Yes, you can get 36"x33" susans, but the front opening is smaller and may or may not be big enough for what you plan to store there. Decide what you will store in the corner susan and be sure the smaller opening will work for you. Many of us here have found that corner susans are great for storing pots & pans and/or small appliances. I really wish you could get mores space b/w the range and doorway, but unless you're willing/able to move doorways, I don't see a way to do that and still keep the Cooking Zone out of the path b/w the Foyer and the rest of the house. If you find that a 33"x36" corner susan will work for you, I would switch the 33" side to the range side. That would give you a 15" cabinet on the other side of the range...at least that's another 3" of safety zone and emergency landing space b/w the range and Foyer doorway....See MoreLooking for feedback on my kitchen remodel plans
Comments (14)I agree with everyone above. If you want a more open kitchen, and can accept a laundry closet, then possibly this plan will work: You could keep laundry supplies in the cabinets above the litter box, and could work storage for a laundry basket into the area below or beside the oven--many European kitchens have the laundry incorporated. There is extra storage on the peninsula, with a raised ledge to hide dishes, or one level, which would make a nice serving area. Prep is now facing the LR. If a MW is not part of the wall oven stack, it can be put on an upper shelf beside the oven, convenient to the fridge....See MoreFeedback on kitchen remodel as part of condo remodel
Comments (8)No expert here, but the layout is confusing to me. What are all those dark, shaded blocks--new walls? It seems to me the traffic flow through your original kitchen would be better, but without knowing what you are trying to achieve here, it's hard to say. I'm right handed and appreciate having my dishwasher to the right, but plenty of right-handed people will tell you that having it on the left isn't a problem at all....See MoreLooking for feedback on addition above kitchen and kitchen remodel
Comments (8)With the possibility of multiple cooks in the house, and children who will also be learning to cook and help in the kitchen, I'd include a prep sink on the island. Helpers can load or unload the DW, or gather dishes to set the table, without crossing into the prep path. I increased the seating overhang to 15"--the minimum recommended by the NKBA.I, too, live in a multi-generational, multi-cook, household--my daughter, her husband, and their two children live with me. I love my second sink!...See MoreRelated Professionals
