We recently built our house and after moving in realized we dislike the kitchen.

It feels very cramped, since it is not tiny I feel we just have a poor layout. We did switch the placement of the stove and fridge when it was built. The stove is 24 inches away from the framed pantry and the counter depth fridge butts up to the sink side counter. The fridge needs to go somewhere else, it hits the counter. I also dislike the penninsula, because the kitchen entry is always blocked and you can't fit a dining table in the dining room because it blocks the kitchen entry.

When we were in the planning phase these were the things I said I wanted and would still like: counter seating for 3, a large framed pantry, double sink, counter space on both sides of oven (at least 30 on one side and 60 on the other). I now also know I want a full size fridge.

The study has a pool table that I could get a conversion top for so it can be used as a dining table, so the dining area can be an extension of the kitchen, with a small table as a breakfast nook area.

I am looking for any ideas on what I can do to make it better. I am willing to do a complete remodel if I have to. This was our first attempt building a house and we let people tell us what we need and what we would like and ended up with not what we wanted, so now I am lost on what I can do with what I have.

I have been having trouble posting a picture, so let me know if it isn't
