Kitchen
We don't like anything about this picture, but it does have the layout we are looking for. We would like a seating area between the island and the fireplace for two comfortable chairs. The gas fireplace would have fire glass or something like that and you could walk around the fireplace on either side to get into the living room.
Another design like we are looking for. The stove and double ovens on one wall, the sink and dishwasher in the island, and the refridgerater and microwave on the side wall. A large island which comfortably seats 4. We don't want an island, as in this picture, which has the corners of the island sticking out as in this picture.
Although we don't like the colors, hardware, etc in this kitchen, this is kind of the set up we are looking for. The sink and dishwasher are on the island. The user of the sink and dishwasher would be facing the see through fireplace and the living room. On the reverse wall is the stove and double ovens. Ideally, behind the wall which has the stove and double ovens is the galley style pantry. The dinning room would be off to the side as in this picture.
Roll out storage in the cabinets would be nice.
