Hello – My wife and I are working on updating our house (purchased in April) and are currently stuck in the kitchen. We’ve started refinishing the cabinets (sanding/painting), ripped out the original (cracked and failing) tile floor, but we need to get our final footprint nailed down before we do much else. There is a lot of space to work with, but we haven’t found a plan that felt 100% right for the space.
The main issues we would like to address: Cook-top – I am not a big fan of the downdraft ventilation and also the constricted space on the right side burners due to the cabinet for the wall oven. Optimally, we would ditch the downdraft ventilation and go with a hood. The question is if we leave it in the current spot and deal with the tight access on the right side, or if we 1) move the cooktop to the new island and put in a hood over the island or 2) take out the wall oven/microwave area, add a hood and put in a range (oven/stove) with a small segment of counter between the range and the refrigerator.
Island – We would like to build a large rectangle island (all one height) for additional storage and also to possibly incorporate the eating area and get rid of the table in the “eating” portion of the room. Any “must have” ideas you would suggest for a new island? Any alternative shapes you would suggest? 2 islands vs. 1 due to the size of the space? The flooring in the kitchen is currently just subfloor, so it would be the time to run conduit/high voltage power for a cooktop/water and drain for prep sink/etc. although that also means $$$$.
We are located in the USA. We do a lot of DIY.
The overall room dimension area 24’ * 16.5’ (Kitchen + eating area). Under the kitchen is a finished basement. http://ift.tt/2c3i1dl
The current island is abnormally shaped, but approximately 8’x4’ http://ift.tt/2cdl8S0
Long side of the L counter-top from end to corner = 13’ Short side of the L = 47” (Mostly taken up by the cook-top) http://ift.tt/2c3j25f
