| This is not the house I'm planning on building but the kitchen is very similar. I like the open concept but feel i could get more counter space in a "G" shape kitchen. http://www.birkeyhomes.com/bradford-shores-121/ |

| "very similar" isn't much to go on. If you want a studio type/efficiency kitchen this one might work. As in you don't cook much or plan an active kitchen. posting a layout with measurements, doors, windows, open areas and surrounding rooms will bring more input on it. |

| According to your floor plan, the back wall gives you about 16 ft. which is quite a bit. You could close off the entrance opposite the laundry area and extend cabinets there to the pantry giving you an L-shape with a large island. This would not increase your distance to other areas that much, esp. the dining area. It seems you need to weigh you priorities and needs. |

| This is nearly identical to the kitchen I will have - we're building right now so I can't comment on how it works in "real life". But a friend built a house with a similar layout and she loves it. I received a lot of negative comments about the layout - it is very different from the typical G shaped kitchen, but I think it will work great for our family. I made the island 10 feet long and 5 feet deep, which to me is more space than I've ever had to work with - but I'm no gourmet cook! |

| I have debated several times if I should close off that entry way. It wouldn't be that much futher to go when taking in groceries and such. But it would be a higher cost when it comes to cabinets. |
