We hope to finalize this design by the end of the week. I already posted one design and based on the input from folks here I revised it. Here are some parameters:

Doorway to the left of the sink leads to the family room. The kitchen is sunken 8" lower and is on a slab.

The fridge is 36" wide

Open doorway to the right of the sink leads to a hallway/powder room/garage/laundry room.

Open doorway at the far end by the pantry leads to the dining room.

We plan on knocking out most of the the wall between the kitchen and the family room. We'll leave a wall for the pantry to set against.

The "island" is really a kitchen table. It'll sit 30" high and will have a granite top 40" wide x 6' long.

Where the pantry will go there's currently a built-in pantry with a 24" door that swings out. We've never had a problem with it blocking people going to or from the dining room, where the doorway is.

One question involves moving the fridge to the corner by the sink. The doors will open and allow access to all pull-out shelves.
