Layout

Doors I’m considering.
Also, I’m trying to decide what colors.

1. White appliance wall with the fridge, wine fridge and ovens, the rest in walnut with light stain
2. All perimeter in white cabinets and only island in walnut
   Counters in white marble or quartzite
   
   

Ideally, it's best to keep your dishwasher out of the prep zone between sink-cooktop. I'd consider moving your DW to the left of the sink for this reason.

It looks like your island might be too wide as planned - there's a reason the previous design did not include stools on the side where you're adding them. You should have a minimum 42" between counter edge and the sink's wall surround. On the other side, you need a minimum of 44" between counter edge and fridge handle projection. (per NKBA guidlines:)

It also looks like the island interrupts the path between the fridge and the sink. Ideally, you should be able to walk directly from the fridge to the sink without clipping your hip.

Of course, these are all just guidelines that can be broken. I think it's good to know where the plan might be making compromises so that you can choose them rather than be surprised by them when it's too late.

I’m not a fan of the “thin rail” shaker but for color, I would do a full white perimeter and use the wood for the island. Did you pick out a countertop material?

Is there a reason you don’t want a standard Shaker door? The rest of your house has such exceptional molding. This door style doesn’t go with your other woodwork.

The style you chose gives few options for hardware, unless you’re thinking no hardware but another way to open them.

I wouldn't choose either of the doors you posted. Not a fan of the outside edge of the first one.-can you get those doors with a square edge treatment? The rails and stiles on the second one are way too narrow.

@kandrewspa That kitchen is exactly what I envisioned for this house.

Love the white and wood mix. Was going to suggest that as well.
Of your two options, I like the thin rail border better.

Your house is magnificent! Truly beautiful 🤍🤍

Neither one. I especially do not like the thin rail & stiles & mitered corners on the second one. Nor the routed edges of the first one.

Not a fan of thin rail shaker style. It doesn't have the presence of traditional shaker style and honestly look more contemporary.

More on layout- I guess that the square column in the corner of the counter run from sink to stove is somehow structural or part of another space?
Because I like the new layout with sink and stove on the L shape, and what I love about that arrangement or a straight run in kitchens is having ability to prep by sink or even near stove & then wipe counters toward the sink. But with that column there, you lose the corner counter run and the extra room that wood give.
