My Plans attached.. still some items questionable items

16 years ago

I have been on here for months and have received soo much help but never posted my plans... not exactly sure how to post it the best way.. but figured out one way. Tomorrow I am actually processing the cabinet order ..YEAH... the one change I do plan to make is take off the wood valence and add a shelf above the kitchen sink

The items I still cant decide on are

1. I plan to put latches only on the two glass cabinets directly to the left and right of my sink and also above the desk .. My KD thinks I should do them throughout the top or not at all... I think that I dont agree but dont want it to look wrong since I have no experience

2. I have hutch ends on the far left cabinets from the sink.. does that look odd just there. KD says I cant put it on the cooktop wall since they are wood and that would be a fire hazard and I cant put them on the desk area since it would interfere with my husbands large computer screens. Should I add more along the sink wall?

Any other thoughts? It is a u shape and then the right wall. I am adding an overflow DW drawer on the inside of the peninsula. It is NOT a sit down peninsula since I have a large farm table that can seat 10 in the room already..

Thanks soo much for any input

Unless you plan to keep your dishes in a base in the peninsula, unloading your DW will be difficult, being that it's in the corner. If that's how your existing kitchen footprint is, then you've probably learned to live with that.

If it were my kitchen....I would switch the standard DW with the DW drawer. With the DW drawer in the corner....you could close it easily if you need to access the wall cabinets above.

With your main DW in the peninsula, you can stand on either side of it to load and unload.

Can you post an aerial view floorplan? Would make it easier to comment.

Sorry, I guess that would make sense to have the overview. I added it to the link with the 3d drawings. The main dishwasher is to the left of the sink , which is where it is now. The extra overflow single DW drawer is in the peninsula

As long as the other hardware echoes the latches a bit, such as a squarish knob in the same finish and of a decent size, I think it's fine to mix them.

I think the hutch is good storage and will look great there.

You seem to have two blind corner cabs. I think you would get much more useable space out of putting drawers sets perpendicular to each other. That would leave the range corner as dead space. The peninsula corner could become a cab that opens on the other side of the peninsula for less used items.

What are the walkways? Seems like whomever is sitting at the desk will be getting jostled when someone tries to squeeze by.

I believe there is 44 inches from the desk to the end of the peninsula, but I am going to make sure. That space was one of my husbands concerns as well. I was considering shortening the peninsula
I really dont want to have an opening on the backside of the peninsula. I am sure that is why my KD planned it as is
