A recalculation of the cab choices probably would assist in getting this finished up for you. How wide is your hood ? 36 in hood leaves 108 inches : 48 In on Left and 60 in on right of hood ???? Is that about what you have? A 30 in dbl door and 18 in single on left then two 30 in cabs on right . Either 30 in high w stacked cab atop... or 33 in high and molding . But exact inches avail will help sort this out.

I think the asymmetry of the uppers is what’s bugging me.

Thank you @herbflavor and @Ephma! Ephma - yes, the asymmetry of the uppers is bugging me too! I was thinking if I make the last one on the right 15" (instead of 18") it wouldn't be as bad(?)

Herbflavor: I was planning to use a 30 inch hood and here are the cabinet widths:

Wall: 24, 24, 30 (hood), 24, 18, 24 (between last cab and window)

Base: 18, 30, 30 (range), 30, 36 (lazy susan)

The ceilings are 8' high and the contractor said 40" cabinets would work. We are moving the range and he will need to run part of the exhaust through the top of the cabinets (instead of having a soffit).

Here is a diagram with the dimensions:

Thanks so much for your input. I need to place the order and just want to make sure I've considered all options.

Oh and I meant to share the "before" pics. It's a 1950 kitchen. Very cute, but unfortunately not practical.

Here is my latest plan. The space from cabinet to window is smaller, but I think the symmetry makes the whole design look better...

@mama goose_gw zn6OH - thanks for your input!. Unfortunately, the sketch above doesn't show the window in the correct place. The edge of the first window (the one on the left, if you are facing the sink) starts right in the corner. So, I think we'll just leave 18-24 inches there...

What's more important to you functionality or looks?

For some people, it's more important for their Kitchen to look nice than function well. For others, and probably most here on Kitchens, function is more important. We're all different and have different preferences, so the right answer is the answer that best describes you (and your family).

If that window goes right to the wall, then you may have to rethink all the uppers on that wall.

Could you please post a layout that has the correct measurements? Just sketch it up and label walls/windows/doors/doorways, etc. (see the "New to Kitchens? Read Me First!" thread for more information.)

Thanks all! Thanks for sharing the New to Kitchens - Read Me First guide. Wow - there is a lot of good info there! I ran out of time and ended up going with a balance of function and looks (at least I hope that's what it will be!). Guess it's like the white cab/red wall design above. Anyway, I will try to post a pic once it's done. Fingers crossed that it all works out!
