Everyone has been so helpful getting my kitchen remodel underway. Here is the final draft but before we put the deposit down do you like it? we are doing inset Shiloh Cabinetry in polar white with beveled shaker door style.






The uppers will be removed and entry widened


This window will shrink

    I would want the rest of the lower cabinets turned into drawer stacks, except for sink and trash of course.

    Could you post a photo of the overall layout floor plan? I'm finding the rendering hard to interpret.

    Yes to all the lower drawers. That's what I did in our last house and it was fantastic.


    Do you need skinny cabs on both sides of the range hood AND the kitchen sink window? Can you add a freestanding armoire or hutch in the eating area instead?

    If it were my kitchen I would switch the lowers to the left of the microwave and to the left of the refrigerator to drawers since I prefer drawers over doors in all but a few cases, but that's personal preference as much as anything. I'd also want to have the sink closer to the range, but you may already have considered that and ruled it out due to the space constraints. Not sure there's a great way to do that without blocking the path into the kitchen. Also not so sure about the counter-height seating behind the chimney--that feels awkward (but again, I assume your options are limited due to the constraint of the chimney?) What's to the right of the refrigerator--is that another doorway?

    I think it may make sense to switch the DW to the other side of the sink so it does not open between the sink and the cooktop, although I see it would not be switching equal widths.

    We never leave the DW door open but if you do, it would be out of the work triangle pathways on the other side.

    I actually do not like all drawers on the bottom. I like some cabinets and pullouts so some things are stored on shallow pullouts and do not need to be lifted straight up. But I would want more drawers than you have.

    I don't think the drawer next to the fridge will be deep enough to be functional unless they will fully customize it, so you may want a full height door there.

    Thanks everyone, we have 3 entryways. There is a small hall that ends where fridge is, our back hall is next to DW, 3rd will lead into our new dining space which we currently use as our tv room.


    the drawer in front of chimney is fake and won’t open but lower will be half cabinet.

    Our current sink is under the back window and we want to keep it there because we have a nice view. The window near stove looks right into the next door neighbors kitchen so I didnt want sink there there.

    I would do a full height door there, I think you don't want to waste any storage space. It could be all shelves then.

    If the area by the sink will be a dining room, I would ditch the counter seating and instead have cabinets on that side facing the dining room. Then have a table in the dining area and eat there. With the counter seating, you're either looking at the chimney or scooting out into the entryway between the rooms--both challenging. The extra storage might also let you drop the uppers around the sink (since it would make me a little nuts that they're not balanced--but again, that's a personal thing!) Or else extend that counter run a few inches into the dining room so that the uppers on either side of the window are the same width (looks like those are 18" or so?)

    Oh, firgot to reply about DW on the left. There actually is not enough space on the right because there will be a slight wall separating the rooms. we need the wall to hide a vent pipe.

    Without a floor plan, its hard to say.

    The space for the hood does not look big enough.

    I would also make the garbage unit wider so that upper cabinets gets wider - the wall cabinets there look strange.

    It seems like it is going to be a great kitchen!

    Is the refrigerator in the island? Please post a floor plan. Really hard to see what's going on.

    Hi, refrigerator is staying in original location. it is on the wall to the right of chimney.
