Now that we have finalized a basic floorplan, I cannot decide where my appliances should go. I really think I want to keep the stove where it is because it's out of the main traffic area and it would be the first thing you see when you come in from the foyer.

Although I initially had the frig on the dining room wall, I don't think I want it there since that is the main traffic to the game room (plus I don't want it scratched).

My main concern is where to put the ovens. I don't mind them next to the stove, but I think because I am so short on work space now that I so want as much as I can get. I am also an avid baker which leads me to keep the ovens by the stove. The only other place would be by the frig which I think would make the sink feel claustrophobic.

I also need to place the MW and hopefully a beverage frig.

I can borrow about two feet from the dining room even if it's just for snack cabinets. I like that idea so the kids don't have to cross the kitchen to the pantry behind the stove.

My other issue is whether to keep a separate table or do a island/main eating combo. I don't have a problem with the table sitting there in the middle of the room, but some might think it's odd. Keep in mind that I need to seat 8 every night so any extra people wouldn't have a place to sit with the combo.

Basically there is only one thing I won't budge on and that is keeping the cleanup sink out of the island. The door to the dining room can go anywhere on that wall.

Out of necessity, the other doorways have to stay where they are. Other than that, I am open to any suggestions.

In case it's hard to read, the doorway between the stove and the sink is to a MIL/guest suite.
