Nice sink. You could easily build a wooden cabinet to fit it, and keep the freestanding look of it. If the cabinet is 3/4 plywood with appropriate framing around the top and in the corners, it can hold a lot more than that sink.

I have dark cherry cabinets and Caesarstone Blizzard counters on the perimeter and table surface of my island. We used BM Edgecomb Gray, which is a fairly warm gray/graige. You can see it best in the 5th and 8th pictures in the linked thread. (The adjoining rooms were painted a different color at the time.) Here is a link that might be useful: Edgecomb grey

mama goose: I like the idea of changing the location of the range and refrigerator, it would be nice to have the range out of the way of everyone and we would still have a nice stretch of counter for prep and baking. The shallow storage would work and I can see making the current pantry wider but more shallow to match the depth on your diagram or maybe even just making the space base cabinets? I will let my husband know that you liked his colorful diagram, he is way more talented at those things and has been super helpful! benjesbride: I had not considered the benefits of moving the pass through to the dining room, it totally makes sense. I will take a closer look and set up a stunt pass through to see how it impacts the traffic flow in the dining room. Not feeling great about the sink moving to the pass through but I will think about it. Thank you for your inspiration :) my husband was starting to think that he would be stuck with this kitchen forever!

Several things..the island will feel less contrived if you were to replace the table with a round. The current square brings too much attention to the angle of the island. Either replace the foyer wallpaper or re-do the wainscoting to match the two—tones in the d.r. If you decide to replace the foyer paper be aware of background white/off-white/creme, etc. when choosing your paint color. I agree new fans without lights is in order. I think once you have all elements in place then would be a good time to reselect your lighting. Lighting has a huge influence on the overall look you are trying to achieve. Your home is lovely and has a very nice lived-in look. Good job!
