Kitchen Decisions

The kitchen design is improved...just trying to make the final layout decisions.  (Then there are all the surface decisions, but that's another set of obsessions!)

Feedback?

The drawing wasn't redone to reflect the change in size of the cooktop so it's not to scale anymore.

Questions

Here is the list of "Is this a good idea?" questions:

1)       Make the peninsula cabinets on either side of the wastebasket 21” and 18” instead of 24” and 15”

2)       Make the ‘B15R’ cabinet into a 4-drawer base for utensils and a bread drawer

3)       Make the ‘FH9R’ have a full-depth shelf so I can store two “layers” of trays

4)       Make the ‘DB18-3’ to the left of the range into a FH cabinet for trays.  There’s a 9” cabinet next to the dishwasher, but I have 18” now (with a drawer) and it is full. 

5)       Make the 3 drawer unit under the cook top into 2 drawers

6)       Instead of having a B27 with slideouts to the right of the range, have that be a DB27-3 (for the too many pots, pans and lids that I have)

Corner Pantry Scheme

Someone else came up with this one: extend the countertop into the corner pantry and use that as an appliance garage.  The electrical outlets can be out of sight in the pantry and the appliances can still be slid and out and out be easily accessible.
