[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few things to consider.

Most kitchens have a picture window above the sink. Will this window face the street? I know one family who redid their kitchen and the huge picture window faces out to the street. It's pointless to add blinds/shades as they would detract from the beauty of the window and hard to reach over the sink, but at night the whole neighborhood can see right into their kitchen.

Will there be any eat in space in the new kitchen? if the kitchen stayed where it is now, the new eat in space will become the default hanging area, and that's where you want the light and privacy of facing the backyard.

Also, there's nothing ironic about a garage door going right into the kitchen: the idea is that that's where you bring in your groceries. [/quote]

With the current layout, the window over the sink  looks out over our backyard . Which I do love, but, the window is small because the kitchen footprint is small. In the new layout, there would be 4 large windows along that wall and our dining table would be set up there, so we would have the nice view from the dining table.

Current kitchen doesn’t have room for an eat in area (part of why I dislike it, it’s isolated when you’re in the kitchen). New kitchen will have a long island with 4 stools because the space is much larger but the primary eating spot will be the dining table. New kitchen sink will be on the island and would be looking towards the driveway and part of the front yard. So, not as nice of a view, true. But not open to a busy sidewalk or street (we are in the suburbs on an acre of land). [/quote]
