This kitchen has a great open feel and wonderful light. I am wondering about the layout with all the appliances along one wall. We are considering almost the exact same idea (though the length of our long run would be slightly shorter than this appears), but are hesitant to do it since it is so rarely done. For us it is the only option that allows us windows where we want and no appliance on our island. Can you tell me more about how it functions? Thanks!
