Get a kitchen designer. In this small of a space your layout needs to be 100% most effective. A KD can do that, plus save you money and headaches.

I will sketch out a floor plan and post. Yes, narrow "hallway" leads to the backdoor. The fridge is far from the rest of kitchen and when the fridge door is open no one can get by (and with 4 teenagers someone is either in the fridge or trying to get outside:)) The garage is behind the wall with the pictures on it. Thinking maybe recess fridge in that wall? Garage is too small for a vehicle and it is just used for storage. Thank you for responding!!

Funny, I was just thinking how wood-tone cabinets with slab doors are becoming very popular!

Floorplan and another photo (from the "stool area") showing the rest of the space. DO NOT include the "walk area" behind the stools in your measurement. I say this because the area does not appear to be 12 feet long.

PS If you are cooking in this tiny kitchen...with 4 teenagers...you should get a medal!

I like the idea of moving the fridge to that area behind the peninsula, and maybe add a pantry along with it - or put one in the space left behind after moving it.

I was thinking that too Kim. What it looks like without bumping is the galley layout which, you already have the only way I can think of is have the way I can see you would have to lose a countertop to turn the fridge around. I know it seems kind of odd.
