"Does anyone like figuring out floor plans? This is a puzzle I've been trying to solve for six years and I've got nothing."

Yes. You need to hire an architect. [/quote]

Would an architect take on a small job like this?  Would it be worth it?  I honestly haven't hired one before so I don't know.[/quote]

[b]You don’t need an architect.[/b] Just post a picture of your current floor plan here or elsewhere online and I am sure people will come up with good suggestions. There are also online services where you pay someone to do this for you. I agree that 13x9 does not sound that small. We have a galley kitchen of similar size and it feels plenty big to me. [/quote]

So after OP posts a floor plan, which she doesn't have, and receives questionable design advice, then what? Does DCUM provide construction documents too? [/quote]

Sketching out a floor plan is not rocket science. Would probably take less time than writing the novel describing the kitchen, after which it still really is not clear what the kitchen looks like. Once she posts  that sketch people can give her ideas on how to maximize the use of the space. You definitely do not do an architect for a kitchen reno unless there are major structural elements. We did a significant remodel of our upper level, and I did the floor plan myself with no background in architecture or design. For the one structural element we had, I got a sign off from a structural engineer. I would only hire an architect to build a house from scratch or to build an addition. OP’s project sounds like something that she can pull off with a combination of online design input  and an in-store kitchen designer. Hiring an architect is an overkill for this kind of project.[/quote]
