[QUOTE="witzend, post: 557091, member: 99"] Start with cabinet placement, and make sure to include your work triangle. You will get the best deals on cabinets at a cabinet outlet, and they will help you to figure out which cabinets will fit best to suit your needs/wants. Also, you will see every type and style of cabinet available, so while you may have one thing in mind when you get there, you may find that you can afford more/better than you thought with only a slight alteration. One thing I have to say is NEVER EVER GET A BLIND CORNER CABINET. Thats the one that sits in the corner and has a very small door with a great deep space that goes way far back and you never see that stuff again. For the bottom corners, get a corner cabinet with a bi-fold door and a lazy susan, and for the top corners, get a five sided cabinet with a lazy susan. You'll be very happy that you did. If you [I]can[/I], keep your plumbing and electrical where they are. Moving your plumbing will be many thousands, as will electrical. If you have an electric stove and want gas, now is the time to run a gas line to the kitchen and get it done. It will cost a couple of hundred dollars. Of course, that's only really an option if you have gas for your furnace or water heater. Running a gas line to the house is prohibitive. Good luck, and keep us up to date on what you're doing!
