Last night I sat down to sketch the entire kitchen/living room in preparation for the final floor plan. I had not done this previously because in 1/2" scale, I could barely get the kitchen to fit, let alone the hallway, garage and stairs (I miss you AutoCad!).
I had woken up in the middle of the night recently and realized that aside from a 30" high desktop area, I didn't have anywhere for somewhere in a wheelchair to sit, should it be needed for a visitor or injured family member. My kitchen was totally accessible otherwise! (those of you who know me know I am always thinking with my stomach - so this was a surprising revelation!)
So, the island was revamped: The "work" section of the island became narrower to accommodate the 36" induction top with ductless downdraft (love it JennAir!!) flanked by 2 24" wide cabinets that have these amazing pullout by Rev-A-Shelf that hold all the pots and lids. Here is a picture - although the one in the catalog is much better!
A 9" tray divider opens to the side of the island as well as a 9" pull out on the opposite side.Then a seating island long enough to seat 5 extends from the rear of the 36" tall island, but at 30".
I really love my design. As soon as I'm finished drawing I will scan and share. It's odd that it makes me happy to design for a mythical family, but I feel like I've made their hypothetical lives so much easier. Now on to do the same for the living and breathing :)
