Plan 1 and plan 2 look identical, except for the sink location on the west wall, either near the blind corner or shifted a bit to the left. Is that correct?

Where are the doors, where do they lead? Where are the windows? What is the 36'' x 40'' block in the lower-right corner? The refrigerator seems very shallow, are you really going to use a refrigerator that is less than 25'' deep? How do you use your kitchen? Where will the microwave, if any, go? Have you read the "Read Me First" thread?

As for the best way to share, it is to post the image here, in your thread. You'll get far fewer comments if people have to go to another website to see the pics.

thank you anenemity!
thank you johnliu! the kitchen layouts are pretty much the same, with one small difference- plan 1 has a lazy susan cupboard in each corner and plan two has one lazy susan and one pull out cupboard which is longer (that's the big block).
with the two lazy susans I can add a little drawer next to the dishwasher (east wall) but in plan two there isn't room. I could add a 12" cupboard beside the pot drawer at the north wall though and I won't have to put in spacers. I wanted to have symmetry on the north wall since you see it when you walk in the house.

we bought the subzero 30"BI with the freezer drawers on the bottom. we have a 24" fridge now so it will seem a lot bigger. we left a few inches on the wall side to allow for the handle when opening. we went back and forth on whether we should panel it or just leave it ss. I prefer the integrated look but dh was worried about getting matching panels. we are doing the high gloss white from ikea. we have a microwave cabinet mounted uptop. we use it for defrosting.

the east wall will be a peninsula between the dining room and kitchen with the sink (23" sink in a 24" cabinet) and dishwasher. the north wall will have a window.

does anyone have any suggestions regarding potlight placement? are there any general rules when deciding how far out from the wall how to stagger etc?
thanks a lot!

I assume the microwave is left of the range but mounted higher. Not my favorite place for this--better than directly over the range but anyone heating up a cup of coffee needs to head to the end of the kitchen and walk behind the cook to do this. Also the hot stuff from the microwave has to be brought down to the countertop before being taken elsewhere--causes collisions on that work space I would assume. Can you bring it closer to the eating area and refrig--much better for reheating leftovers, keeping snackers out of work area, etc.

Is that a baking station at end of kitchen?

Hi Florantha. Yup the micro is up top. I couldn't find a spot for it anywhere else. I wanted to put it down low but I couldn't figure out how to do it. we really only have two 15" cupboards and one 36" drawer. the rest of the kitchen is appliances! That big square is actually a wall. I was ready to give up the micro but dh uses it to defrost so he insisted. luckily he is 6'4. ;)
