Hi Karen. We had a discussion with our son and came up with some ideas that we think are well suited to our needs. In this pic you will see a tall cabinet with the microwave to the right as you enter the kitchen and a small base with a short counter next to it and the fridge.

In this view from the family room there are a couple of significant things. First, we want to remove the pantry wall and run the counter all the way into the existing pantry. Also at the far end would be a tall pantry cabinet with the appliance cubby tower next to it.

a typical 30 inch range/oven combo to replace our current one.

we like this for use above the range and oven in the peninsula to vent and provide light for cooking. we are also looking at microwave alternatives to our existing over the range one.

Another bay window idea.

If a over sink bay window is considered, something like this.

Another idea for double light above dink. Another thought; we keep the current above sink light on at night as a night light of sorts. Perhaps this could be on a dimmer switch.

I like the idea of this type of double light above sink.

Another idea for kitchen lights.

Another idea for kitchen ceiling.

I like the idea of a main “fixture” but also streamlined lighting that is close to the ceiling. We are a tall family! This is an idea.

We like our recently installed flooring and feel we can get more pieces if needed for remodel if that flooring can be saved. If not, here is an idea for new flooring.

This looks like a great space saving pantry idea.

We cut a lot and I like this different, thicker cutting board idea.

Deep sink but with 2 sections. Looking for deep sink, not necessarily farm style (from front).

The narrow island although would prefer with closed storage

The lights

I like the idea of a touch less faucet. Putting this here so it is at least considered.
Q

This is a wider tall counter top which I like. If we are moving a bit into the current dining room this might be a way to do it. And could result in a bit more storage on bottom.
Q

If a fan is needed I think this is one. Or maybe it is just a light.

Another view of an appliance storage tower. Plus nice pantry overall.

I want to make sure the pantry area has a few counter level outlets plus a floor level one.

Similar corner option to what our son has.
Q

Our son had a few of these stand up cupboards for flat items and we really liked them. We have a lot of things that can go in this type cupboard so a wide one or a few narrows like this one might be an option.
Q

Another corner option should a corner need one.
Q

Possible backsplash style and colors. Seems to pair well with city loft paint.
Q

City Loft Sherwin Williams. Possible main paint. Combo of white, beige and grey with no stark tones or yellow.

A pantry idea for appliance storage. Would like adjustable shelf height if we did this.

My son has one of these in one of his corner cabinets. I like it a lot for utilizing a blind corner, if we end up with one.
