Layout Help (Cabinet and Countertop)

15 years ago

I am thinking of switching the 36" wall cabinets that are next to the range top with the 18" cabinets and have them open away from the range (hinges further away from the range). I thought this would be a good way to store oils and spices for easy access to the range top, but we will have drawer base cabinets below and next to it. Does anyone have a set up like this?

Also the island is a nice 9 feet long but it is only 39" deep and I am wondering if that is too narrow with the sink in it. There will be seating at the island and it is one height.

FYI. The pantry is in the hallway by the mudroom.

Thanks in advance!

Bigger might help.

I don't, but since heat deteriorates oils and spices I might opt to sore elsewhere.

Since the island is open to the DR, do you have room to make it a few inches wider? May be a good idea to avoid splashing. If not, it may be a moot point if no one really sits there while the sink is in heavy use.

Have you thought of switching the sink and stove ? We have a stove in the island facing the family room. Works really well and we put a drawer microwave next to it.
Yes do try to make the island wider. You could actually use it for a buffet when feeding people in dining room. Ours is seven feet long with the 30inch stove roughly centered in the space. Our dining room is open to the right when facing stove and we use the seven foot length loads for serving wine before eating and food during meal.
Can you put a window over sink ?
