Is there room to put the range or cooktop into the corner and the fridge moved back to the end of that run? NHbaskets has one example of an angled installation that turned out nicely. It also happens to be located between a sink and a fridge with a open peninsula beyond and perpendicular to the sink.

Alas, there is not room for the range in the corner as shown in your link. It's lovely though! If you look at her island it is angled as well.

Here are my only two other options as I see it:

1) keep existing layout, but get a single door fridge that opens to the cabinets to the right (currently have side by side; everything from fridge lands on cooktop) I was actually leaning towards this option until this weekend when I appliance shopped. However, even though I'm starry eyed over the pro range, I do question whether that's too much fire power for me. I'm a simple cook!

2) Move the cooktop over to the peninsula. This was my original thought. I would still have a DD which I actually don't mind and a larger cooktop. It spurned the thread "Kitchen Triangle too large??" That would put 11 feet between the fridge & cooktop.

Actually, in the above "final" layout its 11' from fridge to sink. That may be too large also!

HELP!!!!

Have you looked at eliminating the right seating penninsula and instead extending the island 5 or 6 feet to the right? You'd have a nice long island - plenty of room to put seating on the right end of the island. Deoending on the width of that aisle along the bottom.

Fridge can then go up right of the DW where you have the penninsula starting now.

Possibly shift the dining room entrance left so it is a straight shot from the range aisle into the DR.

WAIT... You said you had to keep the flooring and footprint...bummer. Absolutely keep the flooring? No chance for patching?

They don't make my tile anymore and it goes everywhere - sun room, entry, back door, laundry, guest bath. It would cost me a fortune to change, so I've decided to live with it in order to have $$ for other updates.

I could like this new plan... adding a prep sink to the island would really improve it. It would create some task zone separation and keep you from having to circle the island to wash veggies, get drippy meat to a sink, etc.

I would shift the island so that it's closer to the range and gives a bigger aisle on the end where most will enter the kitchen to grab a plate, clear the dishwasher, set the table, etc.

It would really help if you could redraw the plan on graph paper, so it's to scale. Your 30" cab to the left of the stove is larger than the stove and larger than the 36" corner cabinet.

I think you've done pretty well within your constraints. I would consider whether to flip the ref and micro so that little counter has some elbow room.

Link is mostly for amusement. I LOVE this sink. I didn't have enough room for it, but when I saw your x-large sink base, I thought of it.

Thanks for your comments! I don't think I'm finalizing this plan yet. There's got to be a way to work this out better.

Anyway, bmorepanic, love the sink link. Wow! That's huge. Check out my dream sink! I could make it fit, but at over $4,000 I don't think its in the budget!

Have you considered a corner cooktop and then move the refrig in the main working area of the kit? Built in oven where your new plan shows the refrig?
