This is a thread about your kitchen (sink, stove, counters, setup).
Tell us how you have set up your kitchen, where you put everything, and how it works for you.
I did a reno a number of years ago. Taking out a kitchen that was 6' x 8' at the side of the house and building a new one directly in the middle of the house.
New kitchen is 18' x 18' with a 10' hallway/pantry. It has 9 doors, 1 window, 2 skylights and 2 sinks.
The doors arrangement:
Living room.
Dining room.
Den
Deck.
Garage.
Dog Kennel.
2 pantries,
1 storage closet.
I found some pics of the kitchen during the reno which will give an idea of the layout better than the current clutter does.
Looking down where I have my "coffee wall" which spans both sides of the sink. This is the clean up sink with dishwasher next to it and disposal in the sink. 2 visible doors are pantry (bi-fold) and dining room door. Pic taken from the doorway into the living room.
On the opposite side of the kitchen from the cleanup sink is the stove and food prep/cooking area. Above the stove is the large skylight (covers the entire counter area with light) The two sections (clean up and cooking) is separated by a diagonal island with a second sink.
Looking back from the stove (pic taken from the door to the porch) is the 2nd pantry door (6 windows), door to the dog kennel (2 windows). The door to the den is at the end of the stove counter and the door to the garage is down the hall on the right. Cabinets in that area are for pot/pan storage. You can see the skylights, one down the hall the other over top of the stove. Good natural light illumination. opening both outside doors (kennel and deck) gives great flow through cross ventilation. If someone does not want a kennel, that area could be made into an exceptional breakfast area as it overlooks a well laid out azalea/rhododendron bed.
Can't find a cabineted and tiled pic looking back to the deck door and the only window but this rough in shot should help fit in the fridge and door to the deck (next to the window). On the other side of the fridge is the door to the living room. Shot shows the large skylight very well. The box covers the island plumbing.
Separating the two sides of the kitchen is a diagonal island with a large German sink that took me ages to find (had to have it shipped as it was not sold in the US). Doors in pic are 2nd pantry and door to den area (stairway goes down to the library and basement. Off the back of the island sink is an eat in counter and behind that is a low pastry/candy making counter (with doggie cave under it). In front of the sink is the fridge. Open and everything comes out into the prep area.
Well, that's it. My kitchen
Let's see yours.
