[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend has a kitchen like the first one and I'm jealous. There are always people underfoot and in the way in my kitchen. My friend gets the workspace all around the first island while people hang out at the second (and aren't in her way)[/quote] I have this setup - two islands parallel to the stove. Prep sink, dishwasher and trash in the island facing the stove. The other is a dining island. There is a perpendicular countertop along an exterior wall with the main sink under a window, another dishwasher and trash pullout. The wall opposite has a fridge. I like this setup for the reason PP states. It creates 3 zones - one for me to cook between the first island and the stove, one for people to hang out at the second island, and one for someone to do dishes at the main sink. Also, the fridge is accessible to everyone. I like that no one has to walk by me as I’m cooking. as PP said, I get the whole workspace to myself, people can hang out at the other island, and someone can be washing dishes at the main sink and be out of the way.[/quote]
