Great kitchen remodel of 2011: Alternative Layout

When the cabinets were removed, I got to thinking there might be a way to keep the nice open feel the kitchen suddenly had. When we went to Home Depot to pick up the floor stripper, I stopped by their kitchen area and talked to a fantastic associate named Ken. He helped me draw up a quick idea of what it would look like to wrap the cabinets instead of the previous layout. Here are the pics that he came up with. We would appreciate the input of family and friends!



Pros: This keeps a much more open floor plan and it actually adds about 22 inches worth of cabinet space! Wahoo!

Cons: You would have to walk around the corner to get to the fridge or anything in the cabinets by the fridge while cooking.

It would also eliminate the dedicated dining room area however we were thinking the table could go in the corner by the windows and have some nice light.

Let us know what you think!

  1. That looks like a lot of work but good for you guys for doing it. I bet the kitchen will look awesome when it's done! I like the new layout so as long as you don't mind going around the corner to the fridge I say go for it.
