I like galley but that means moving plumbing electrical ducting and expanding an exterior window - the one above the sink is way too high especially if sitting at a table

I had a g-shaped kitchen very similar to your layout in my last house. Incredibly efficient use of space. I'd keep the footprint but improve the cabinetry along the lines of your first inspiration photo.

Here's another inspiration photo for galley layout - thanks to the commentators above for input!

I like a white kitchen - these images focused on galley layout

A galley kitchen is a long narrow kitchen that has cabinets and fixtures along each wall with a walkway in between..is this what you are after?...

You may need to describe what you want to change and what you are trying to accomplish....

Also confusing about the window over the sink being to high while sitting at a table?

Right now there is a window above sink as you can see in the photo of my existing kitchen
I would have to bring the window down as it is too high ... So that when seated at table we are not looking at wall

If I were to go with a galley style kitchen, there would be a wall to wall pantry on the back wall (where stove is now) and sink and Island would be moved over to dinette area near sliding doors - as you can see in the sketch I posted of the galley type layout ....

I like galley style just more expensive

I think that ritasj is correct - you need to work out what it is you're trying to accomplish by converting to a galley kitchen, because you're looking at a substantial expense to redo all that plumbing, wiring and cabinetry. What does a galley kitchen give you in terms of functionality that your U kitchen does not? If it's about storage, there may be less expensive ways of improving that without going through a full scale gut and replace. If it's about aesthetics, well, only you can say what that is worth to you.

I like the fact that the galley kitchen makes full use of the kitchen dinette space whereas w g shape w are concentrated in a smaller corner.

I am having estimates devised - any idea how much more this galley kitchen could cost
