Very nice extremely rich looking product. Normally offered in Dark kempas, Light, and mixed. Very very formal look...very difficult to keep pristine if young family. Will show wear very quickly if the room is an active room!

Thank you. The hood is the P26 Modern Aire, the stove is my baby--1936 Chambers C (I love cooking on it!). The base cabinet you see is the color that the few cabinet pieces I will have and my shelves will be painted--BM mayonaise. My DH and aunt think I need to paint that cabinet next to the stove something other than white to make the stove totally be the center piece. I could do the same paint/glazing treatment as on the spice cabinet but I kind of like that piece standing out as its own rather than as a "set" upper and lower, plus I don't think I mind it as white. Any thoughts or suggestions would be more than welcome!

Hi Jen! Sorry, I didn’t look at my notifications and only saw your post today. We decided on a combination of above plans, I attached it below. A note to the can lights in the aisles: I deliberately positioned them more in the middle of the aisles, since we will have under cabinet lighting at all counter spaces (except island and there we will have the pendants). And yes, thanks! The demo is finally completely done (found a couple of plumbing issues) and from now on everything will slowly get put back together. I hope yours does too!

It might or might not be a terrible idea depending on your being able to move the stove a few inches to its left. FWIW, this question comes up here with some frequency. Often, the responses range from those who (a) feel the layout with an open stove side next to a doorway is utterly unacceptably dangerous to (b) those who say you work with the space and budget you have, so having stove next to a doorway can be workable, and (c) everything in-between. For some recent examples, you might look at these three threads while waiting for further responses here: * "ok to install cooktop with no cabinets to one-side," * "range-next-to-back-doorway," and * "need ideas to cover exposed side of bosch slide in-range no oem part." IOW, its one thing If you have the time and budget for a blank slate renovation and quite another if the reno will be limited to making the best of an existing space. That said, I'm inclined to with agree Blueberry_Bundtcake and opaone about the oven and sink obstructing each other in the layout shown; as you noted, you can't open the oven door while using the sink and can't get to the sink when the oven is opened. But it is worse than that. For one thing, any pulls or knobs on the sink cabinet doors will block the oven door from opening fully. For another, there is practical concern with the heat escaping the side of the oven door where it closes against the chassis. Generally, ranges sit with front of the stove and oven door a bit proud of the cabinets. That keeps the heat from crack along side edge of the door from damaging the cabinets to the side. (The heat is not just when the door is opened.) Even worse if your stov's broiler is one that operates with the oven door cracked open. Your rendering appears to show the "crack" of the oven door right up against the adjoining cabinets which would, indeed, be a bad idea. The way to avoid the problem might be to skooch the stove to its left --- probably requiring cutting away some of the trim of the adjoining doorway and putting a corresponding spacer between the stove and the sink base cabinet. The result might not be pretty but should be sufficient to protect the base cabinets to the right. Could you instead, maybe, swap the stove and fridge locations? It would not be ideal but I think it could make your kitchen easier to work in. But, maybe there is another doorway just beyond the fridge? (The kitchen in my 120 year-old house was built like that; there are four doorways into it.). At least, having the stove on what appears to be an exterior wall could allow you to easily vent to the outside whether you have an actual hood or need to go with an OTR microwave. A "dimensioned diagram" could indeed be helpful to getting better responses. Also, some indication of the budget for your project as well as noting where the existing power and/or gas lines for the stove are located. Seems to me that it will be one thing if you are having to work with the existing service locations and quite another if the budget is big enough for relocating them.
