So we are starting a remodel project at our house. We pretty much know how the walls are going to be but haven't decided on what we're going to do with the kitchen counter/cabinets and an island.

See the attached Pic for the current cabinet layout. Fridge top. Stove near fridge. Sink center left under the window. Dishwasher to the left of the sink.

Note: In the pic, the thin black lines are not walls. They are just showing the general room sections. The walls are the thicker sections with the angled lines in them. Exterior walls and the rectangular area in the middle between all the rooms. The area between the kitchen and dining room heads down the hallway to the bedrooms.

We're considering how to do 2 different things.

1) Cabinets/Counter - Currently the cabinets are on the top and left side of the room. We will now have a huge empty portion between the kitchen and family room area (used to be a wall/half wall there) and we are deciding how to extend that direction. We thought of adding another cabinet or two along the wall up to the window and then turning out into the room with more lower cabinets, a countertop, and possibly an overhang so it could be a seating area.

2) Island - We need something in the middle of the room that can have some cabinets/storage underneath and be a decent size work around. Possibly with a countertop overhang to make it a seating area as well. Could be a rectangle, could be triangular, we're open to various shapes and designs.

We would like to find a way of incorporating either a double oven (stacked) or two separate ovens. A stacked set could go somewhere in the main layout. Two separate ones could have one where it is now (near the fridge) and another in the island (which would make the island permanent and non-movable). Not sure on where to locate those things.

We also need a pantry in here somewhere as well as that's being removed along with some other walls.

Something could possibly go at the end of the section with the fireplace/TV to extend that a bit. Neither of us are designers so we just looking for any ideas anyone has.

Thanks!!
