Quick backround: my adult son, who is a contractor & I purchased our 1st home last year; too quick, too misguided, too misinformed and now too many problems!
I am trying to design a kitchen layout that is conducive to my disabiliies & health problems & w/i a reasonable budget!
I'd like to open part of the wall blocking the LR, convert the DR into a office/pantry Murphy dr from kitchen.
To the right side of the kitchen (high traffic area) is the backdoor is at the top of basement stairs leading to a finished basement w/bdrm. It is a dangerous spot for me!! The angled ceiling & height of the stairs impede on the current pantry (& bathroom vanity) 30+". Which leads to issue #99 (LOL); moving the washer/dryer 1st floor asap for me. We intended on placing it in the old pantry but it would be too high (tall).
I would like a simple kitchen; U/L cabinets, sink, induction oven (long story), DW, microwave + a peninsula or island (w storage). Since I cannot figure a way to relocate the stairs I have to work around them. I've racked my brain for 13 months; I simply cannot come up with a design that works.
Any suggestions and/or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
Pics are labeled - current & ideas - unfortunately, ideas that just aren't working!
HELP! I'm pulling my hair out trying to make this work - I need to find a solution of some kind before my son disowns me (LOL).
Thank you, I appreciate you!
