Hello everyone!

This is my second try at getting a decent layout for my kitchen. I posted 2 options with the second one moving the ovens to where the pantry is located.. I re-added info that you might need since I couldn't find it in my first post...

I also moved the sink over to give me more prep space... moved the island a few inches over... Far from being perfect but I know you will say it how it is ;-)

The room is 18' long and 18' large (accounts for pantry and bay window area).

At first my husband did not want any major change but is more flexible.. He just told me yesterday that he want us to build our retirement house in about 2-3 yrs and that's why he does not want to pour money in the kitchen. We will be keeping this house and don't plan to resell it so I guess I too, have to be flexible...

Thank you for all your input as I truly appreciate it.

One of the things that I am having problems with, when it comes to making comments is that it's so off-scale. I see the salient measurements for aisles and such but really, to know what this really looks like, it has to be a scale drawing. This might be why you are not getting feedback?

I don't care for L shaped islands, but I can't really say if this one works or is an impediment without seeing things the correct size.

I agree, let me try to repost one that is to scale... It will take me longer and I will do it with a paper and pencil... I did get some feedback the first time and the ladies were very helpful :-))

Thanks!

I don't know what program you used but I used Paint to make "graph paper" which was tedious, but then I had a starting point for doing scale drawings.

That's what I used.. but without the graph paper... I'll try to do as much as I can since baby's napping

There you go.. This is to scale but if you need more information, please let me know.

Do you have one with the dimensions labeled? We need the widths of each wall/window/door/doorway and the distances b/w each wall/window/door/doorway.

it is a bit tiny... sorry for that

Crl- I'm just glad my baby is still sleeping lol... I'm going to post the one I drew yesterday.. not perfect though!

LOL!

Or...if you have something like Paint or PowerPoint, you can download an image of graph paper and use that as your background when "drawing" boxes, etc., for your layout.

is there a ay to save it with the graph background still showing?

Could you post a layout that includes the room around the kitchen too? Right now, I can't tell what would result if the pantry walls came down. I don't know what is beyond them.

If you're going to move the island seating to the side....I would go back to cooktop on the island and fridge on the L.

I'm not sure your island is big enough for the number of stools you're showing...but here's a quick drawing :)

yes, measurements too tiny to read.

Using your drawing that you added the measurements to:

• There's a window in your current kitchen, where is it exactly in your layout - how far from the left wall is it and how wide is it (including trim)?
• How long is the upper wall?
• How wide is the hallway b/w the refrigerator and the Ovens?
• Is the 186" the entire left wall, including the doorway and pantry depth? Or, just to the pantry door? Or, just the wall "below" the doorway?
• Are you planning for table in the kitchen? If not, can you use the entire space shown? It looks like the FR doesn't start until the other side of the drawing (past the Deck).
• Is there a door on the wall labeled "Deck"? It looks like a sliding door in one of your pictures of the current space. Do the doors take up the entire bay wall?
• How wide is that bay?
• How wide is the entire bottom wall?

You should see me trying to draw straight lines with a wiggly baby who wants to play on my lap!! #multitasking :-))

Is the 186" the entire left wall, including the doorway and pantry depth? Yes it includes the entire depth of pantry and the doorway which can't go away :-(Are you planning for table in the kitchen? No so yes we can use that entire space It looks like the FR doesn't start until the other side of the drawing (past the Deck). Correct...Is there a door on the wall labeled "Deck"? It looks like a sliding door in one of your pictures of the current space. Do the doors take up the entire bay wall? Yes that whole part of the house is really just windows/doors besides the cabinet wall that's in the kitchen. We sure get a lot of sun as a result (which I can't complain about...)How wide is that bay? 126"How wide is the entire bottom wall? 270"/22.5'

Lavender, I don't think I have room for a cooktop on the island based on the clearance I need... on the other side of the island. The island is only 40 maybe 42" wide... Could I leave the Ref where it is and maybe move the ovens where the walkin pantry is located?
