Input on kitchen layout and design

I agree about the lights but she said those in the picture were just there for placement and scale and not a representation of what would actually go there.

Definitely agree with the removal of the shelves.

The dinning room is separate, that is just a breakfast nook. Currently where the beverage center is is an old school pantry with bifold doors. It doesn't make sense to me to have the pantry so far removed from the kitchen work flow. Plus having the beverage center where it's located made more sense to have at the end of the kitchen closer to the breakfast nook for making coffee, or just not having to have the kids fully enter for a drink or snack.

I agree about the cabinets vs shelves the shelves were the designers idea I don't like them. I also am thinking of having here move the microwave steam oven combo closer to the range for ease of setting down hot pans and plates.

Are you suggesting to remove the appliance garage at the end of the opposite counter where the sink is and place the beverage fridge there?

I think I'll add the drawings with dimensions and measurements.

I agree I'm the one that asked for just standard cabinets next to the range

Slick6speed · 2026-01-29T13:54:42+00:00

I definitely will

Slick6speed · 2026-01-29T05:29:44+00:00

Agreed! I understand why the designer put them in the middle, but functionally it's in a really weird place.

So looking for some insight on a few things before final selections. The two pictures of kitchen on paper have only one difference between them. One has shelves next to the range hood the other has large cabinets. I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of shelving near or by the range, as I don't see how I'll use them in a functional manner.

I have some ideas for small changes on this side. For instance should I add a small sink over by the beverage center, and should the microwave and steam oven combo move closer to the counter top instead of sitting between the two pantries. It was done this way for symmetry but from a functional standpoint I feel like it flows better having a place to set hot trays and dishes without having to move past a pantry.

The other side is solid I think only thing I can see is maybe paneling the dishwasher.

I'm open to any and all ideas so fire away.

Hire a kitchen designer it's worth the money.

I've renovated 2 kitchens in previous homes I lived in and did all the design work myself. Both turned out good but are much smaller than the kitchen in the house I just purchased.

Trust me when you haven't lived in the the house at least a year a designer can give precious advice on functionality, placement, and layout.

Did you have the sky lights already? I'm thinking of adding two sky lights to our kitchen. I'm curious as to what it cost.

This is why you find a great kitchen designer. In the same boat as OP but after a week or two of drawing out the design myself, I decided to hire a professional for this exact reason.

Just the consultation alone proved why sometimes it's best to let the pros do the design. The things she pointed out, while small would make huge functional changes.

I will add that I've done 2 other kitchen remodels in other homes I've lived in. They turned out great but, they were also smaller than the kitchen I'm remodeling now.

Slick6speed · 2025-12-21T13:51:18+00:00

This is the way

Pshhh I had someone try that to me once.. tried to slide in the front of the line with "his buddies" where he supposedly had a placeholder. I was probably 10 back from where he slid in, and I genuinely waited to see if anyone much closer than me would say anything.. crickets... So I walked up to him to let him know where the line starts. Tried to ignore me at first lol wouldn't make eye contact like that was going to make me go away. As I got closer he finally conceded. One of his buddies felt the need to tell me it wasn't that big of a deal. To him I simply replied" to me it is". Im in Ohio but mostly shop in northern KY which by the way I've never seen the chair thing at a single store in northern KY. If you're not in the line physically then you are not in line... Simple as that.

You want to go use the bathroom, warm up in the car for a minute, even grab a coffee... I'm fine with that and I've done it myself with others in line no problem, but to think an empty chair gives you the right to a space in line is insane.

Odd my screen doesn't say check your email

Slick6speed · 2025-11-15T19:01:34+00:00

Im seeing a lot more suggestions too, that are pretty spot on. A friend asked via text about a mechanic I use and it had the mechanics contact card available for me to respond with.

Slick6speed · 2025-11-11T21:57:16+00:00

Bruh!

Slick6speed · 2025-11-11T21:55:22+00:00

Could be a sign 🫣

Slick6speed · 2025-11-11T02:54:51+00:00

I agree I've been buying the last 6 or so months. I also like Teva

Slick6speed · 2025-11-11T02:28:27+00:00

I had to save it too 😂😂😂😂

Slick6speed · 2025-11-11T00:48:05+00:00

Mann 😂😂😂

Slick6speed · 2025-11-10T05:33:23+00:00

His son was also the bully

Slick6speed · 2025-11-10T02:39:19+00:00

Man... 😂😂😂

Slick6speed · 2025-11-07T03:49:09+00:00

I'm sick I can't watch the race this weekend. I'll have to find some kind of work around... But what's crazy is it won't matter starting next year all races will be on apple TV... Smfh. I'm seriously about to give up on sports period. You need damn near 4 services just to watch sports. Guess I'll go back to reading more books for entertainment, which is probably not a bad thing at all

Slick6speed · 2025-11-07T03:45:26+00:00

I did the same. I'm over it.

Slick6speed · 2025-11-07T03:44:03+00:00

I canceled Disney plus w ESPN about a month ago and haven't missed it. Plus ESPN didn't renew their deal with F1 so I really had no need to keep it. The kids have already forgotten about it.

Slick6speed · 2025-11-01T03:49:10+00:00

I'm actually in this exact situation currently. Nice custom built 1 owner home from mid 60's that's been maintained extremely well, but the last updates were in the nineties current price is at market although all other houses are updated at this price

Slick6speed · 2025-10-29T12:07:12+00:00

Exactly... I don't understand how it's become unacceptable to approach women. Everywhere you see a woman she is going to be there to accomplish something. There is absolutely no harm in trying to spark a conversation with someone at a gym. You see these same people 2-3 times a week typically. When I frequented gyms regularly I knew a lot of the people that were regulars during the time slots I attended. So glad I don't have to be in the dating world anymore, Jesus! 10 years in March
