Sounds like you need an L shape, galley or Pullman style kitchen. The
best kitchen set up I ever had was a tiny galley style apartment
kitchen. Of course, it was short on storage space for literally
everything, but a large pantry for groceries etc and a butler's pantry
china & crystal would have taken care of that.

If the code allows it, make sure that it's installed with threaded
fittings and a shutoff valve on the water line and that it plugs into an
outlet instead of being permanently wired--they tend to die young and if
it's soldered in and hard-wired and there's no shutoff valve replacing
it is a pain in the butt.

Fine by me. People can be considerate or they can not visit. You
think that attitude would work in countries where it is the norm
to doff one's shoes at the door?

If I go to someone's house, I observe what the preference is and
go with that. It is not hard to be considerate. IMO.

I read somewhere that the best placement for appliances and sink would form
a triangle. Sink on one side, fridge on the other and the stove on the end.
My current kitchen is that way. Had some kitchens where the stove and
fridge were opposite of the sink. Had another where the fridge and sink
were opposite the stove. Actually all of these designs worked for me.

I have never had an island in the kitchen. Have always wanted one. Would
also like a second sink, for washing veggies and the like. Would also like
see inside fridge and freezers and those drawer fridges where you could just
stick a big platter inside. Would like tons of cabinets and drawers and a
walk in pantry.

Oh dream on!
 
it burnt aug ten on dh's birthday, everyone got out ok, but we had to pts
one cat as he couldn't take the stress, he was out overnight, he was sixteen
and extremely nurotic, and unbeknownst to us he had evidently contracted
feline lukemia just before this happened or that night he was out, so all of
that combined with being chucked out of the house by a stranger was too much
for his system, and he just shut down, luckily i have now tested all the
cats and they are negative for flv and fiv, which is a serious releif,

interesting, but we wanted the island because we want something unmovable
and having it built in means less other furniture, i intend to have as
little furniture as possible, kitchen chairs will be four stools that will
store under island, Lee

Sorry, I'm "in the middle of nowhere" and home prices here are down

from when I moved here in 2004.

I also take issue with the concept of an "overbuilt low-density suburb",
that is an oxymoron. What you are referring to are fact high density
*urban* developments which have expanded into formerly low-density
suburbs. Anything with sub acre lot sizes is absolutely urban.

What have got? Presumably you've worked with a designer who asked
questions about how you cook, how often, what type, etc. There are lots
of articles online about what are good ideas and some not so good ideas.
Store stuff close to where it will be used or handled.
Keep your spices away from heat and light.
Have plenty of light.
If you have an island or a peninsula, make sure it has at least one set
of electrical outlets on it.
Roll out shelves are a must.
I would not have a fridge without a bottom, roll-out freezer compartment.
I wouldn't be caught dead (unless someone stuffed me in it upright) with
a side-by-side freezer/chiller unit.

honestly if you inventory pre fire, and you have all of the information then
you can look through the lists and mice pictures and see what you really
want to replace. The pain comes when you pick up a simple item that has
been a part of your daily life, like the bread machine my sister gave us,
she loved that thing but it became a health issue for her as she and two of
her children ate far more than was healthy so she gave it to me to try and
see if i could use it... and hopefully in the intervening time she would
work on self control, this was a three day disuccsion between us and
"sisterly bonding time" when it came time for dh to photo it i cried, Lee
