The last image (#3) shows the under counter microwave drawer installed flush with the cabinets. On each side of the microwave will be a pull-out waste on one side and a pull-out recycle on the other. You can see this by looking at the door handle that is centered and horizontal on the door. I have added as many pullouts as allowed by design and all drawers along the top line up throughout.
Ok so just the other day I received a lovely advertising package for a new condo high rise with the most horrible flattened hexagon shaped island- for a cool 3million plus. I died. Maybe is just a show kitchen. I cannot bear to even post the plan because so much of it is beautiful- but the flat hex island is no bueno. I know sometimes it is necessary to cut a corner here and there and we have done it too- but is a top thing to avoid when you can do so- and always with a light hand. Think curvier than chamfered when possible and remember just how many laps you will do around an island like this and your hip bones will thank you too!
Just today heard a few people commenting on this and was a bit surprised that so many thought this was an ok idea. That is ok- but there is no good reason I can see to do this at least in the typical manner of a straight run going higher to just vary it for no real reason. Sure mid level cabinets full height can be cool and done well by good designers but the idea below is a big NO in my book. This came about from big box retailers trying to easily make their non custom cabinetry look custom. They are not fooling anyone.
Oh lordy this one I see a lot and is an absolute no way in hell. Going above the hood with NO kill point is bad news. Tile transitions are a huge issue for us in any application and is one of the easy things to overlook for a diy-er or a novice designer. Heck it took me many years to hone these skills but just recently in Destin, we had cabinets taken out and redone because the plan was not followed and the tile ran short of the edge of the countertop. This is serious business for my team.
Ventilation is key to removing toxins and grease from your kitchen. It is not healthy to have a non ventilated kitchen. Period. Unless your idea of cooking is calling for take out! The best ventilation is an updraft with an internal, inline or remote blower. Be careful on the coast as remote blowers can have a lot of rust quickly and if that flapper gets stuck and your home is cold and the air outside is hot- well, lets just say you may think you have a faucet running from your hood! Condensation can be a big deal. Been there done that!
This is a huge element of design in my opinion and am again shocked at how many beautiful kitchens are ruined by a lack of communication between designer ( or contractor/homeowner if no designer) and the various trades who execute a kitchen- and their must be communication or the project is doomed from the start. Often the contractor is too busy to pay attention to these sorts of problems and they can ruin a beautiful project. These examples below are from just typical remodels showing tile transitions and terminations gone very very wrong- but even on a budget, there is no reason why these mistakes must be made!
Microwave drawers are great- they pull out. We have done many times. But putting a microwave with a door hinging is not wise under a countertop- if no else to place- call me. I can help reconfigure the kitchen to make it work. It just is too much bending to lift out or even look inside-and not ergonomic at all. I can see doing this in an ADA kitchen if dedicated to that person. But that is it. And before anyone says oh but you are not worried about bending with dishwashers- there are also dish drawers for those who have a need to limit bending- one on each side of sink right under counter will work great!
What else is a serious NO WAY to you? I want to hear what you have learned! This old dog can always learn new tricks! I have a few more but some are more design aesthetic than an absolute. Now on to bathrooms!

Kitchen Design Concepts did a complete overhaul of our kitchen this year. They were true to their timeline, easy to communicate with throughout the process, and were respectful of our home by keeping dust managed (I was pregnant during the process) and helping us set up a temporary kitchen. Their advice throughout the renovation was invaluable.
They had great suggestions about designing a kitchen for kids, what appliances I should buy based on my cooking level, and how to furnish and organize everything once the kitchen was complete. I never want to move now that we have a fabulous, beautiful kitchen, but, if we are ever in the market for this service again, they are the only company I would use. You pay for what you get with them and KDC delivers an elite service on every level.
You all worked quickly and efficiently, focusing on quality of work and our satisfaction the entire time. The work site was buzzing with activity five to six days a week and was swept and cleaned up each evening before the crew left.

It's not often that I get asked to design one space in an entire renovation. But when another designer (as well as my friend) asked me to help her with colours, I was excited to help her out. When I arrived at the home, the discussion revolved around wall colours to go with the fixed elements that had already been chosen. When it came to the kitchen, I was asked my opinion about painting the cabinets. If you know me, I am honest and this situation was no different. I strongly suggested not to paint the cabinets (as a potential plan was to have quartz and new appliances installed) as it was clearly going to be a 'lipstick on a pig' situation. There was going to be no amount of paint that was going to cover the dated cabinets. In addition, the function of the kitchen was not great. When I had the opportunity to discuss this with the homeowner (along with my friend), I stated my facts:
The oven on the far right is also where the 'drop zone' happens to be. The very narrow pantry, although it looks like there is great space for all the spices, is the only pantry for a large, family home.
When planning a kitchen design, I take into account many factors. One important factor is the cooking 'work triangle'. Another factor is how functional the kitchen is. In the current kitchen layout, the wall oven and the cook top were taking up valuable real estate in a small kitchen. Here is my conceptual design for the new kitchen design:
Although the sink is not completely centred on the conceptual kitchen design plan, I was able to move the dishwasher over to the right as we extended those cabinets as far as we could go. We also used a combination range to save critical space when appliances were being chosen. As this is a family home, the best place to add the microwave was in the base cabinet (and hidden out of the sight-line). The addition of the floating shelves maintains the open feeling of this new kitchen design.
By using a range, we were able to create 3 pantry cabinets. Each on that flanks the refrigerator is for food, spices, etc. We were able to include a smaller tall cabinet that will be used for cleaning supplies, the broom, etc.
In addition to all of the changes, I chose white cabinets to continue on with the new trim work that was being used in the home along with a gorgeous quartz counter top to compliment the rest of the home.
While there is still a lot of work to be done in the house, I was so happy that my friend called me over to see how things were shaping up. Although it is not done, here is a glimpse as to what it's starting to look like:
While the adjoining room still has work to be done (painting) and the rest of the wall painting has to be done, you can see in this image where the microwave is going to be installed. And if you really look closely, you can get a glimpse of the outdoor pool! Oh, and yes - the ceiling fan will also be going!
As I said above, I was thrilled that the homeowner understood where I was coming from regarding painting the old wood cabinets. There is clearly no comparison between the old and the new, don't you think?
