Maybe consider something like this for rearranging your kitchen layout. I would try to avoid the angled base cabinets and the bumped out kitchen sink though.

You could have an island with no seating on the long side, so basically a work top. Aisles would be the minimum recommended by the NKBA--42" for the work aisle and 36" for the traffic behind the island. What are your plans for the low window? (if that's the room you plan to incorporate into the kitchen)

We need an overhead plan, with measurements for all walls, windows and doors.

Appreciate the reply. I have made a few sketches and have a couple ideas.

I am willing to replace that low window and build the outside wall up to match.

I am willing to tear down the wall where the range currently is located to fully open up to the dining room.

I can give more measurements as necessary. The grid system on the sketches are 1 box = 1 foot.

First picture is current plan. Next 3 are some options I'm considering but... I don't want to invest huge money into a bad plan.

Thanks for the input.

ahhh yes the builder’s special. I have the same kitchen and have been looking for ideas for years. I will share my ideabook with you that has all of the advice that I have found on Houzz for this layout.

If you're willing to change the low window, I'd suggest also adding a second window to the sink area, to move the sink to the right. That will leave space to center the range and give almost the minimum prep space recommended by the NKBA. You can add a peninsula with space to slide by the seats. Use 15" deep cabinetry for the peninsula, but add support on the side (black bar).

On both perimeter runs I'd suggest using extra-deep cabinets, or pulling the cabinets off the wall for more counter space--27" on the sink wall, and 30" on the fridge wall, to build around a standard-depth fridge. You'll need a deeper range hood, to make sure burners are covered. Use roll-out tray shelves for easy access to pantry storage, and use 15" deep uppers for added storage.
