[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have room to put an addition on the back? That is how this is handled in houses of this traditional design.[/quote]

Unfortunately no- our house is on a shallow hill so the kitchen, while on the main floor obviously when we walk into the house, actually feels like it’s on the second floor (large family room below it) once you walk to the back of the house . An addition would ruin the family rooms nice open feeling to our back patio (it would cover part of it, and the landscaping would look all wrong). [/quote]

What about to the side? Could you bump out along the side of the back half of the kitchen?[/quote]

No, our garage is there. And on the other side is the rest of our house. I think an addition would be too much.

Another option involves keeping the layout with the kitchen in the back, moving the fridge/ pantry shelving/ wall oven to the exterior facing (well, garage facing) wall and then having the cooktop on the island. Cooktop on the island seems to have a lot of haters and a lot of lovers. What do you guys think?? Island would probably be 8ft long and … standard width? What’s that, 4 feet? And 36 inch cook top [/quote]

Could you remove a few walls and convert the garage into additional dining/kitchen space?[/quote]
