Hi there! Looking for opinions on what is hopefully my final kitchen layout. I'm excited as this has been a long journey. Thank you in advance for reading :)

Thoughts on the island configuration are appreciated. Does this look like enough space on the patio door side? The door will slide open from right to left. Would you swap the microwave and trash to make it easier to empty the trash (garage is on other side of house)? or face the microwave to the sink? Not sure which is best. And how would you configure the 12" deep cabinets that run along backside of island? My thought was to face one towards sink for easier access. Even a narrow cabinet there could store cutting boards and such.

I'm also still stuck on the sink wall (which I've posted about a few weeks ago). Two options pictured below.

Option one in this design is 33" SS, with 18" drawers next to DW. Sacrificing the SS size for the larger drawer base here as the island gives storage for the seldom used bulky items. In this one, in order to center the window close to where it is now to keep the exterior work simple, she had to use a bigger window. To get it center, she had to lose 3" on the right upper. There is now a bigger window, then trim, then 5 1/2" around that on both sides. The window looks at nothing but my neighbors siding and fence and the room has plenty of light from the slider. I love the 18" drawers, but feel like I'm losing upper space and a lot of wasted space here. When I asked about voiding or blinding the corner instead, she said it makes no sense to void or blind the corner just to gain 3" on the right and 3" on the left upper. Plus it will change the stove wall, which is perfect.

Option two is 36" SS, with 15" cabinet or drawers next to DW. That leaves me with an odd skinny 9" upper cabinet pictured here. However, the KD suggested leaving it as an open cabinet with no door (painted interior shelves) or floating 9" shelves there.

Thoughts?
