I had done something similar to what you have put up esg, but I had angled it slightly to put a single door in there. However I do like the thought of double doors. Would you find it really annoying to have to big doors opening up into the kitchen space? Thanks again everyone I'm doing this on my own, so its great to be able to bounce this off people willing to listen. The people I work with don't really care and my family is interstate Deposits paid 29/4/09 Land settlement 12/08/09 Build contract signed 24/08/09 Colours done 28/09/09 BLOG-http://www.eljaysbuild.blogspot.com/ Re: Kitchen advice needed :( 7May 21, 2009 11:10 pm With the opening the way esg did it, I think double doors would be better. It looks like a big doorway. Doors opening into the kitchen are ok, but too big would be annoying as they need such a big space to swing through. Glad you're feeling better! buzz Re: Kitchen advice needed :( 8May 21, 2009 11:38 pm hey ekjay - i vote the other guys are right - in a kitchen space you may be better off with smaller doors than one big single for the pantry 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: Kitchen advice needed :( 9May 23, 2009 1:10 am I have attached an image of a layout that would max the benchspace.

Thanks Smartpack for taking the time to do that for me, its great! Do you think with it overlapping the bench though that it makes it a difficult work surface? It would be good for putting the phone there etc... I like it, but just worried about functionality?

It can also make a good place for the kids (mother inlaw) if they want to be near you in the kitchen yet not intruding in your prep space! Kitchens are like finger prints, no two are ever the same!!
