re: Kitchen Reno questions

Update: just went back to house and measured kitchen. Now I’m thinking Something a little different.

Gut the peninsula and the desk area, leave fridge where it is. Put a longer, 8-9 foot x 3.5 foot, island running parallel to the walls of the room. Have seating at end with stools that push under island.

I was thinking we could maybe keep the lower cabinets but update the doors to match whatever we do above. Move the range to back wall where oven is and build out custom hood above range.

The wall where we remove desk we would put oven and microwave.

Floors could go last bc I recognize it could kill budget. Would be prudent on stone. Spend more on island and shop hard on perimeter. Use scraps for a smaller bathroom upstairs.

Here’s a picture of what I have in mind in terms of island position with kitchen, since it’s more galley style.

FYI the kitchen width wall to wall is 14 feet wide, 30 feet long from breakfast area to wall where oven is.
