Might work, but the appliances need to be re located. The whole left counter doesn’t have a function. Appliances should go fridge to sink to stove.

What’s by the stairs?

Dont make the island extend past the perimeter cabinets.

agree with Emily, Dont make the island extend past the perimeter cabinets.

Is that wall to be removed a support wall?

Why move the sink from under the window? Can save $ on plumbing keeping it where it is & still have a nice prep island.

Extending the fridge wall to the door is a good idea. Make sure if putting tall cabinet there to watch out for electrical switches. ;)

L shape + island is the best layout, IMO. Just put something on that side. If you provide more info, like measurements, window location, how you plan to use the rest of the open concept, number of people/cooks in the house, etc, people can give more suggestions.

Sorry, I meant the left/shorter side of the L

You could do a stub wall at the end of the kitchen cabinets. Or extend the base cabinets a few inches, and have a hutch-type dish cabinet, which would help block the view of the clean-up sink (and possible dirty dishes). Similar to below, but not as wide:

Island should be 42" deep which would include front overhang, 24" base cabinets, back panel, and 15" seating overhang. 7' would be a good length, but would seat only 3 comfortably.

I like mamagoose's layout.

Yes. Mamagoose's layout is functional without or with the prep sink, because the sink is easily accessible to the island. imo, the prep sink is not a necessity in this kitchen. it becomes a necessity when it's a large kitchen and there is a long walk to sink to prep area.

I have also heard people say the dishwashers are louder in an island due to less installation. Walls help muffle the noise. I have not listen to the difference myself, I'm just sharing what others have mentioned.

I have the same layout, flipped top-to-bottom, with no sink on the island, but my sink and DW are switched, due to the fact that I didn't want to disturb the plumbing in my old house. I like the L layout, and often do baking prep on the end of the island facing the sink.

If you omit the island prep sink, I'd suggest moving the range 12" toward the fridge, with a 24" drawer base on each side. That will give you more space in the prep zone between the sink and range, which will become the primary prep zone, since that sink will be the only water source.

Hi, Kevin,

Please post a closer view of the new kitchen layout closeup. it's hard to see currently

Bay windows can be a challenge if they go all the way to floor.

If window goes to floor, example. It limits what can go there.

If it is raised to bench height, more options

If it's raised to countertop height, more options.

outside view example if raised.

Suggest to put stove against the wall for ventilation to outside or you'll need to go up to the ceiling with a hood or a downdraft vent which are known not to work as good as an over stove hood. Smells & steam rise, up into top hood & out of house is the best, imo.

Everyone remodeling is wishing they DON’T have bay windows to work around... don’t put one IN!

It's true bay windows are a challenge. Lots of posts on Houzz dilemmas stumped with what to do in front of bay windows inside. If you do 1 highly recommend having the interior plan decided upon & raise the window off the floor. I don't care for them unless it's functional under them.
