Gray is upper or full-height cabinets. Up is the foyer, and the half bath is in the lower left corner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkercat.org\/remodel\/assets_c\/2011\/09\/kitchen-plan-4672.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkercat.org\/remodel\/assets_c\/2011\/09\/kitchen-plan-thumb-500x402-4672.png\" alt=\"kitchen-plan.png\" class=\"mt-image-none\" height=\"402\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>Going counterclockwise starting from the foyer door (12:00):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The foyer wall has been moved down 3 feet to make room for closets in the foyer, as previously mentioned<\/li>\n<li>Dishwasher below, with storage for tupperware etc. above it, along with bags &amp; foils.<\/li>\n<li>Sink, centered on the right-hand side window<\/li>\n<li>Work space between sink and stove, with pot &amp; pan drawers below.

I would like this area to be in different materials to set it off from the perimeter cabinetry; probably a wood countertop and backsplash matching the cabinets.<\/li>\n<li>Above the seating part of the peninsula, glass-fronted cabinets for fancy glassware, dishes, etc. Underneath, a single full-height-door cabinet for deep storage of large, seldom used items.<\/li>\n<li>Continuing around the peninsula: drawer storage for prep tools like knives, peelers, rolling pin, etc.&nbsp; This section of peninsula has no upper cabinets.<\/li>\n<li>Cutting board divider cabinet<\/li>\n<li>Sink base for prep sink on island. <\/li>\n<li>Shallow spice storage cabinet, on the end of the peninsula facing the range<\/li>\n<li>Pull-out double trash cabinet, for trash &amp; recyclables<\/li>\n<li>Continuing around the back side of the peninsula, a bookshelf for cookbooks. <\/li>\n<li>On the other side of the dining room door, a message \/ phone \/ charger station. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s the tour.&nbsp; I feel like this plan needs some more tweaking, but it&#8217;s a start.&nbsp; Or maybe we will come up with something entirely different.<\/p>\n<p>One more picture: some elevations to help get a feel for how this plan would look. First is the fridge wall, then the stove\/sink wall, then one view of the peninsula. Some of the details don&#8217;t match what I&#8217;ve described above, but these elevations are really just for sense of scale anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkercat.org\/remodel\/assets_c\/2011\/09\/elevations-4676.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkercat.org\/remodel\/assets_c\/2011\/09\/elevations-thumb-500x893-4676.png\" alt=\"elevations.png\" class=\"mt-image-none\" height=\"893\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been working on the following plans for the kitchen proper for the past couple of months.
