Many times, what may seem to be a simple change, has far reaching ramifications and/or not enough information is known by those that are asked to offer an opinion or solution. You are best off asking your architect, if you have one.

I find this drawing to be one of the most inconsistently dimensioned and poorly noted drawings I've seen in a long time. It should be an example of "what not to do" in construction drawings.

As for rearranging the kitchen, certainly you can do anything you want. Anything with more cabinets, however, will cost more not less.

Do you have a kitchen designer or architect? What you are asking is a significant design challenge, and not a simple "move this or move that".

Good luck on your project!

Moving things around may or may not cost you anything depending on your builder. But adding cabinets will definitely add quite a bit of cost. A pantry room is likely far more affordable than adding cabinets, unless you already planned some spectacular shelving and cabinetry in that pantry.

You need a KD not the architect to help with this . I agree that a walk in pantry is cheaper but also IMO a real waste of space I much prefer a wall of fridge, pullout pantries and if you want then the wall oven and MW in that wall too. This whole space needs a rework including the spaces around it. A huge poorly designed kitchen is one of things I am often asked to fix in my design biz.This is a new build get it right the first time

How many people do you want at your island? What sized table will be in the nook? Depending on the size of the table, the island can be lengthened a bit without compromising the nook.

I would highly recommend enlarging the opening to the nook. Your entry will feel terrible.

By the way, you can't do steps at the front door like is shown on the plans.

I realized that was the garage after I posted it. Sorry. I tried to delete but couldn't.

We would like 6-8 seated at the island.

You don't have room for 6-8 people. You need 2' of space for each chair/person. So at most you can have 5 people at your island. 4 along the back and one along the side near the dining area.

What CP says. They won't fit, once they are past toddler size.

PS: bring this to the kitchen forum, there are some good folk there that don't always venture out of that forum, additional feedback there.
