I am in the beginning stages of planning a new kitchen. I have not employed a designer yet, though I will, but I want to find out what is even possible first. I have about 3 months before I am ready to do that yet. I have a couple style questions out there already, but this is my current floor plan.
I can move the appliances, except dishwasher, but cannot knock down any walls. The door to the bedroom is being closed in. I swear that room had 7 doors on 4 walls! We will be able to get it down to 5 once we close that one, plus it gives me so many more options for the kitchen. The other two doors and windows stay.
The sink stays in the same location. Other than that, I have a rectangle room with the dimensions 11'3" x 18'.
The 40" range and the current fridge stay but can be moved.
I have a pantry and need to have one at least 45"wx24"d.
The table and chairs can go, and the china cabinet can go.
The house does not have a dining room, the kitchen is the only eating space available. We dont entertain, but we do have older kids who come home every once in a while and I would love to sit down together, but not all in a long line like a bar, I want to face them, especially if it is just me and hubby.
I like the idea of an island because there is so little counter space, but seating that goes around it would be best. I have a floor plan for that too. We also like the idea of a booth. Just not sure that it looks right with what I have been able to come up with.
The first plan is current. The others are ideas I have come up with to see if it would even fit. The depth of lower cabinets is 25, appliance sizes are to scale, everything should be right as far as measurements.
