Tell me what you and wife think you guys would like ( the must haves) so I am able to help you with a better design. No, don't worry, no charge to do this, but you get to buy me a cup of coffee if I ever get to visit TX.

I do this all day long

Wow, thanks! That's super generous. I don't think the missus has any must haves yet. She's still in the brain storming stage. So I'll wait to get with you when you get back.

I think she's leaning towards a built in oven and separate cooktop, the theory being that it's hard to keep stuff from falling down the crack between a regular stove/oven and the cabinets. Also, you don't have to bend as far over to get stuff out of an oven that's higher.

Another thing that we're wondering about is what to use for the counters. We'd like something durable and attractive and we are open to unusual. I feel like granite is probably the most durable (if you get the right granite), but the missus feels like it's almost too common.

I do have some measurements, but since I don't have any requirements for you, I don't know that they are that useful, and since they were done quickly during the home inspection, I don't know if they are good enough for you.

From the edge of the existing cabinets on the north wall (top, w/sink) to the east wall (right) is 112". From the pantry to the north wall is 128". I have no idea how wide that window is, but I do know that the cabinets on the north wall were 24" (left) and 36" (right) and then the east wall had a 32" cabinet, then the stove (30") then a 15" cabinet and then a 39" opening for the fridge.


This is the current layout.
