You have space for an L with a nice-sized island, and a separate entry from the mudroom, if you choose. Basic layout:

New to Kitchens? Read me first.

Unless there is compelling reasons to angle the garage, eliminate the angle and see if that effects the garage.

G-style kitchens are usually fairly small and meant for one cook. Secondly, you have seating at the table next to the kitchen. Why waste kitchen space on more seating? Do an L-shaped kitchen like Mama Goose recommends. But if seating isn't a priority, make the island skinnier and put a reach-in wall of pantries along wall A.

Thank you! What dimensions could the island be if seating is not a priority?

Thank you so much mama goose. This is really terrific!

Mark, thank you. we are angling the garage because the house is being built on a mountainside and the ledge /terrain is this way.

If seating is not a priority, then anything from 25-42" wide is a good work surface. For comparison, perimeter counters are 25" deep. I have a 25" x 8' island in my kitchen that is very functional. If I'd had more room, I probably would have gone with 30" wide-- but that would be about aesthetics rather than function. The important thing is that you can reach the middle easily to clean it. The other thing to make sure of is that your walkways are between 3 and 5' wide. I prefer 4' but it will depend on your use cases (# of people, accessibility requirements, etc.).

I would do 15-18" pantry cabinets if omitting the seating. Or, 18-20" would be deep enough for a buffet with coffee and breakfast items. Will you be hosting lots of guests (post pandemic) who will be helping in the kitchen? You might want to add a prep sink to the island. I'd suggest keeping one island seat in case someone wants to visit as you work in the kitchen, although if you have multiple guests you'll probably need more than one seat. :)

Thank you mama goose!

We rarely entertain and I don't see that changing after covid. Occasionally we might have a couple friends over, or a couple of the kids' friends.

Keeping one island, seat or having the potential of one seat on the end is a great idea.

I've started reading the FAQs you linked and here is some of the info requested there.

We are a family of 2 adults, 2 children.

We use the kitchen for cooking, including using the range/oven and microwave everyday. most are fairly simple, quick meals.

The appliances you have drawn are all the ones we'd want. Fridge, dishwasher , range+oven., microwave drawer.

Hi again,

I wanted to follow up to post the plans that have arisen from feedback on our layout that you all kindly provided.

These are preliminary and feedback would be great. For instance we've been debating the location of prep sink on the island. Its current location not far from the main sink allows the opposite side of the island to be entirely for guests. An alternative would be to put it opposite side diagonally, closer to the fridge,

Happy 4th!
