Hi...check out this web site....Houzz.com. You will find a wealth of pictures and information for every room in your house. If you search, you can find a similar kitchen to yours..I have learned so much through this site.

Enjoy

Hi Angelcute,

I was sooooooo hoping someone would chime in and help with
your layout. Layouts are not my favorite. I could draw up
some ideas but I can assure you, I am not a guru.

What is your budget?
What do you want to change?
Are you keeping the floor? Cabs? Appliances?
Is it possible to close off or make one of the large
doorways smaller?
I ask so that you can create more of a Galley
or perhaps put in a half counter in the open wall to
create more storage in lower cabs. My guess is that you
need storage. Another idea would be to open the
entire room up to the other rooms.
That might mean you still need a beam for support but
the doorways would be far more open.

What style are you looking for? Contemporary? Country?
Transitional? French Bistro?

Do you have to keep the refrigerator there?
Could you have it on one wall?
Could you put that sink on the end rather than next to the
stove?

Do you want a kitchen on just one wall?
Or two walls, an L shape?

Perhaps a place to start is to write down what you
like about your space? What you want to change?
And then think about what you want to spend?
What are you keeping? What are needing? Wanting?
and from there figure out what you love in style?
Function?

For now here are some visual ideas...

YOu could open up the wall but use a beam for support

Not keeping any of the appliances. Sink has to stay on the wall it's on now, anything else can be moved. But I want to add a dishwasher

Doorway could be made smaller, but not closed up.

Country or Traditional Styles

Alot of ideas was shared earlier - guess I just need more. I am the type of person that I have to See it instead of Imagine it. Thanks for anything you can find.

The opening that has the shelf over it...wonder what it would be like if I closed up part of it and created maybe a small eating bar or something like that?
