It's your kitchen, do what makes you happy

I don't know why people hate peninsulas so much.

And to your point, I put the opening to my kitchen adjacent to the back door for similar reasons you state.

New Home, New Kitchen - Need some design help. - diehlryan 2016-09-05 11:50:49 (533 views)
- Didn't we do this one already? - irish21 2016-09-06 12:20:00 (343 views)
  - I thought it looked familiar! - gription 2016-09-06 14:33:38 (285 views)
    - I think it's a different house with a nearly identical layout... - irish21 2016-09-06 15:57:16 (312 views)
      - Its a larger house by about 500sq feet with a different layout.   -  diehlryan  2016-09-06 16:05:12 (271 views)
        
        I meant the kitchen layout was extremely similar. That's all.  -  irish21  2016-09-06 16:24:04 (280 views)
        
        Yeah, it is. I did like your big island blow out the dining room option in the previous thread.   -  diehlryan  2016-09-06 16:31:12 (247 views)
- In your drawing with the island in there you are really cramping the work triangle. - 5speed6 v.3 2016-09-05 23:01:12 (292 views)
  - Yeah agreed. I mocked it up with cardboard. - diehlryan 2016-09-06 07:27:48 (296 views)
- How does the full floor plan look? Any option to open the kitchen up to the dining room or possibly - schlepper 2016-09-05 21:48:15 (279 views)
  - Mud room behind stove wall. Garage behind fridge wall. - diehlryan 2016-09-06 07:28:48 (268 views)
- How about if you build a circular or oblong island with curved ends? - pinkmanct 2016-09-05 21:33:24 (363 views)
- An island will cramp the space. 4'-0" is a bare minimum for passage between the island and cabinets - freakness 2016-09-05 13:28:15 (387 views)
- I don't think that you have enough room to add an island in the location shown. - gription 2016-09-05 13:06:45 (464 views)
  - Pennisula is a non-starter with the wife. - diehlryan 2016-09-05 14:33:55 (476 views)
    - LOL - PaulW 2016-09-06 10:35:17 (363 views)
      - PS...A prep sink on the island prevents having to walk around it to do anything. - irish21 2016-09-06 15:46:08 (269 views)
      - Thanks for the thoughts. I think a penisula in this kitchen would be stupid.  -  diehlryan  2016-09-06 10:59:49 (333 views)
        
        When we bought our house an older, wiser friend gave me this advice  -  Pelican Pete  2016-09-06 18:01:45 (304 views)
        
        Or even consider a rolling cart as a temporary measure.  -  gription  2016-09-07 09:07:25 (259 views)
        
        Yup, suggested the rolling island above.   -  irish21  2016-09-17 20:14:24 (278 views)
        
        Even better! And it can be sold or repurposed when done.   -  Pelican Pete  2016-09-07 09:17:04 (262 views)
        
        If you're asking for design help, you'd be wise not to call the overwhelming opinion "stupid."  -  Pelican Pete  2016-09-06 14:25:32 (304 views)
        
        I used the term stupid because Paul did.  -  diehlryan  2016-09-06 15:58:06 (309 views)
        
        Hope the cataog link made up for it  -  PaulW  2016-09-06 16:39:24 (286 views)
        
        all good, no worries here.   -  diehlryan  2016-09-06 16:57:47 (257 views)
        
        To your point, people congregating around THAT island would render the kitchen useless.  -  gription  2016-09-06 13:34:10 (271 views)
        
        Here's a great cabinet catalog that you can get ideas from   -  PaulW  2016-09-06 11:44:18 (298 views)

    - What is her objection? - Pelican Pete 2016-09-05 19:14:19 (329 views)
      - Her girlfriends' house probably all have islands. - freakness 2016-09-05 19:32:10 (315 views)
    - Both the fridge and dishwasher will render passage difficult to impossible with their doors open - gription 2016-09-05 18:22:05 (308 views)
      - LOL, we just bought this house.  -  diehlryan  2016-09-05 18:51:21 (332 views)
        
        RE corner lazy susan cabinets...   -  gription  2016-09-06 09:12:43 (353 views)
        
        That is COOL!  -  Pelican Pete  2016-09-06 14:16:16 (291 views)
    - Those are BARE minimums that I personally wouldn't go for but it's your house. - freakness 2016-09-05 15:17:48 (372 views)
  - 2rd - freakness 2016-09-05 13:43:20 (278 views)
    - 3rd. A Peninsula will fit the space much better than an island. - Pelican Pete 2016-09-05 14:28:05 (313 views)
