Hello! I've loved looking at your kitchens and your advice! I've spent seriously hours fiddling with plans - home shows are coming up and i'd like to have some ideas before meeting contractors...

We are a family of 4 - kids are 3 and 6

I REALLY don't want to take out the walls - i really like having a kitchen that is separate.

DH REALLY wants the stove on the outside wall to vent out (anyone have good advice that the carbon filters work? our current fan doesn't vent out and he sets off the alarm whenever he cooks bacon)

current layout:

We almost never sit at the table - it's too tight

No cabinets are adjustable so lots sits out on the counter right now - no cabinet can fix the rarely used mixer or the cereal! #11 has shelves only deep enough for cans - the old furnace chimney is there.

This the layout we most agree on:

I know if the stove is open there is no flow, but i'm OK with that - I can close the slider and the kids know to stay out and go around.

Our cabinets right now are topped with a 10" header so getting rid of even just them should give me more useable space.

I wish i could fit somewhere to sit, but DH has hated all my ideas.

DH would love an island, but i'm not sure why and i don't feel it would even fit and would make the flow really awkward.

Budget (if i can help it) under 30K all in except the fridge and the stove (I'll probably replace it later, but it works right now)
