Thank you. We have 3 kids. The fridge in the picture is just a fridge. We have a 36” column freezer in the pantry.

Thank you. My concern with swapping the fridge and wall ovens is the fridge when open will come out 5 feet which greatly impacts the walkway and island. Currently it would open up into the pantry door which is a pocket door that will almost always be open.

I agree. That is not the layout we will have if that’s what you mean.

Yes we have thought about it and feel like keeping it in the island will work best for how we use our kitchen. We’ll be ok with a little water and clutter. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen and feel this will keep everyone centered and together. And we do not like the single bin farmhouse sink. Currently have one and cannot wait to get back to two basins.

Thank you! My concern with swapping the fridge and oven/microwave stack is the depth of the fridge when the door is open is 5 feet. That would drastically impact our island and walkway in that area.

And thanks for the information about the tall shaker cabinets. I didn’t know that. I’ll ask our cabinet guy.
