Well, ours was a new build, not a reno, but I also wanted an L-shaped kitchen with no corner. The architect made my little "hidey hole" area in the corner. My desk is the "L." On the right side of the area (behind the stand mixer) is the door to my pantry which runs behind the range wall. If you have the existing room to do this it is a good solution. I really love that little tucked away area!

Nini I LOVE your space!!

I'm almost certain that I'm giving up the corner so as to have larger drawers on either side. Though we would be able to access it from our porch so it wouldn't be a total waste.

I too was willing to give up corners for larger drawers and upper cabs. I have a small kitchen so I carefully planned where all my stuff would go. The tricky part of not using corner storage was finding a place for small appliances. I put them in a bottom drawer and over the fridge.

nini804, that's incredible! What a great use of space. We felt we had to keep our corners. Old house, not much room to change. But wow, I would never leave that kitchen. LOVE love love it!

Thanks nini804! Your kitchen is beautiful and that sure is a cool idea. Not sure if I have enough space to do something like that but I will play around with it.

Our kitchen is small at 8'x12'.
As a result, and because of doorway issues, we ended up with 2 inside corners.
The rightside cabinet houses a super susan. The left side, because it's an offset cabinet, just has an L-shaped shelf.
Here's a shot.

nini - I LOVE that. I first saw something like that when we were looking for a home out in Las Vegas. The one floorplan had that and used it as a pantry...I fell in love with that house. It's so nice to see that incorporated into a home that someone is living it. I long for a house where I could have something like that.
