How close is the stove to the corner? Is there a cabinet next to it, or just a filler. And does the drawer to the right open? It looks like it would hit the side of the stove. I'd like to do this too...please help! »
Hi, Do you mind having the stove so close to the corner? Ours will be this close too, but others are saying this will be a problem. We don't have much space and shifting the corner away makes for an even smaller DR. Any thoughts appreciated!

Bill Fry Construction - Wm. H. Fry Const. Co. For a small space this is a practical solution.
In the past, the dead corner on the right could have been problematic - but these days there are lots of elegant solutions to accessing that space.
Check out the Hafele magic corner http://www.hafele.com/us/. They have a rectangular one and a kidney-shaped one. Here's the former that that Bill Fry installed:
Ronique Gibson There are several options, depending on your kitchen, and how much space you have between your stove and the hood, can help you decide.
You can use tile (like shown above) with a patterned insert. You can continue your countertop surface up the back wall - such as granite or marble. For a more industrial feel you could use stainless steel. Many people enjoy using decorative mosaics and even hammered tin can be used.
Here is an idea book that will give you more ideas.
Karen Heffernan it could be dove white (white dove?) by Benjamin Moore. I just ordered cabinets for my kitchen, and said I wanted white, but not a stark white, more like a milky creamy white, and the designer immediately suggested that color.
Subway tiles are everywhere these days—not that I'm complaining. The simple white style is helpful in myriad applications. But why not mix it up in an unexpected pattern?
thought about this for backsplash though it looks a bit plain here. But maybe with our cabinets and counters this simple style in cream would look good?
Thanks so much
