I've learned so much searching through the posts here. Thanks for all the great ideas, tips, and photos!

I am wrestling with a difficult kitchen layout with odd geometry dictated by the house and lot.

There is a two-level island with a wood bartop and soapstone countertops. The butcher block is on legs and a lot of prep will happen here. The trash pullout between the butcher block and prep sink will b handy.

The KD wants to move the 48" cooktop to the right to split the distance on either side of it -- actually to split the difference on either side of the hood which will be large at 54".

I'm looking for a place for a Sharp 24" microwave drawer. My current thought is to put it to the left of the prep sink.

I may need a trash pullout near the main sink but I'm not sure.

We don't bake much so we're OK with the current location of the ovens. We prefer this to putting the ovens next to the fridge and losing counter space near the cooktop.

The architect wants to preserve the current walkway spacing...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated -- thanks!

Billy
