[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 557214, member: 14557"] Thanks for the tips. especially boxes and really playing it out is a great idea! One of the problems with the kitchen has been in just that. Work triangle isn't working at all. Sink is simply too far from everything else I need the most. Doors and old fireplace and wood cooker make it a challenge to plan. Kitchen island could be an answer to that, but of course it tends to be more expensive solution than keeping things on walls. We don't really use gas over here at all (well, only gas bottles for grills and in summer cottages without electricity) and my modern stove will be electric like also current one. except I'm thinking I will go with induction stove this time (most of the new ones are those around here.) We need to redo the electrics. They are just old and we don't have enough outlets and those we have are in wrong places. Better to redo them now when we are opening walls and floors anyway. Moving plumbing may need to be done also, because location of the sink has been a biggest pragmatic problem.' And Sig, you are right. This is so much fun! Reno itself probably will not be but planning is. [/QUOTE]
