Thank you

That doesn't look like it would be 10x12 unless the scale is totally off. I'm building an 8x9 kitchen on two walls and it has a lot of cabinets for just one or two people! My kitchen is also open to the living room like yours.

I'm happy to post my design if it would help, but it would be well short of 10x12.

I saw a youtube video where they had two ways of getting counter space in an extremely small kitchen area. One was where they had a huge cutting board that was stored vertically between the counters, and they took it out and placed it on top of the sink for counter space. In another video, they built a counter area in wood (horizontally) in between the counter top and the cabinet below. All a person had to do was putt it out when they needed counter space. Put in the youtube search box micro kitchen ideas. Also, look up tiny boat kitchens on youtube. Boats are well known to have very ingenious ways of dealing with tiny spaces, due to the fact that they usually have very tight areas to work with.

We are redoing our kitchen - it’s roughly 10x12. Cabinets are coming in tomorrow but here’s our layou. We were coming from a rental with literally a foot of counter space, and we both like to cook, so prep area was a big consideration.
