We are building a new home and have had so many ups and downs over the house plan. We are so close to finishing but am left with one huge issue in the kitchen(yes there are way more than one issue, but the KD will help reconfigure the design once plans are finalized).

I want a beverage station next to the screened in porch with a pass through window. I don't care if it's stupid, pointless, wasted space, it is what I want. I have had to give up my other unnecessary "wants" from the house, I am not going to give this one up. But this is the third revision back and the plan keeps getting worse.

I would like the entryway to separate the kitchen and dining room. Apparently that is not possible without major changes to the roof line? And this current revision he has extended the porch back 3'.

I thought about having the lower cabinets in the beverage station put on the back wall so the entryway wouldn't be quite so centered on the island. But it would still look awkward I'm afraid. The island size isn't set in stone either so that could help things maybe. The great room is the room on the left. Garage on the other side of pantry.

I would really like the stovetop/range and hood centered on the island.

I would appreciate any helpful suggestions. Although I am feeling very doubtful. Thanks in advance.
