The first place I'd start is the original retailer of your cabinets. If you are planning on reusing the majority f your cabinets, you will only be able to do so if you can order other pieces that will match what you've got. This also gives your design an inflexibility that most designers won't want to work with. It's common for homeowners to have one or two special pieces that a kitchen is designed around, but a whole kitchen's worth of cabinets is something else entirely. It's VERY VERY challenging to take cabinets designed to fit in one space and then change the layout and still manage to use even half of what you've got. Several folks on here have bought second hand cabinets or cabinets at an outlet store and managed to create some very special kitchens while being imlprisoned to those specific cabinets, but most were able to order a couple of fill in pieces from the original manufacturer. They also did their own designing for the most part. Most designer wouldn't work under such limitations, as Palimpset states, they make money from the sale of the cabinets. An independent designer is great for overall space planning, but unless they intimately know the spec book of the cabinet brand involved, any designs that they do may not translate to the cabinet brand that you use. Kitchen designs work within a certain framework of available sizes and options, and you can't assume those sizes and options are available in every brand. I'll echo posting your current layout of the space only---and don't list the current cabinets. Let the folks here work free of that constraints to find the most optimum layout for you. Then, after you've got that down pat, you can work to see if you actually can plug any of the cabinets into the design. Otherwise, you're most likely NOT going to end up with something significantly different than what you have.

During an old Dave's Garden seed swap about 13 yrs ago, someone gave me Costus speciosus seeds one year and I planted them the same way I plant veggie seeds in the little peat pellets/greenhouse thing. I did soak the seeds overnight in warm water first. Other than that, I dont remember doing anything special to them. They did take a few years to bloom and they did go dormant in my zone 9a once I planted them in the flowerbed, during the winter in which you shouldn't water them much. I have sent people the plain white butterfly ginger seeds and they grew them successfully. If the ginger seeds are fresh, they shouldnt be hard to get going.

This year I won a jackfruit I a raffle and decided to start some new trees this is how it went. https://youtu.be/XidYVpnGPJ0

Hire an architect. Add up all the costs of the projects from Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs Value Report, 2021 version. Then add 25%-35% on top of that. Costs have skyrocketed 15-25% over the last 12 months. And you are at least a year away from being able to even start a remodeing project of the scope you describe. Have you considered selling and moving? It’s cheaper. https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2021/
