After getting some harsh but valuable advice regarding my previous design, I went back to the drawing board and came up with a better design to maximize the layout of my G-shaped kitchen. In return I've maximized my counter space and storage by taking down the pantry and extending the wall behind the fridge to add the built in pantry and microwave. Just wanted to share and hope to receive positive feedback. Thanks for the support... It's been quite the journey and it's not even over yet.
