Kitchen Designer too. The architect can usually recommend one, so that's a bonus.

If you want any ideas from us you have to share info, pictures all sorts of stuff.

hire someone. we aren't psychics here.

thank you for the obvious suggestion. This is my first time using the houzz community for ideas. I will upload photos later.

IF you're living in the home you're going to remodel and if you're doing a total remodel of a kitchen, consider a total rebuild of your kitchen either in another room or in an addition -- that way you can use your current kitchen until the other one is complete. Ditto that for a bath if you have only one bath. No kitchen or a bath for an extended time is not fun.

we are a fussy bunch, so pictures speak a 1k words.

Thank you Kay. Here are the photos . Does this help to give you an idea?

kitchen - 2 windows overviewing back yard

Kitchen eat-in area

panoramic view of living/dining areas. Door on left goes to kitchen. Door at the end goes to 3rd bedroom/office space.

reverse -panoramic view of living/dining areas. Light at the end is from the front door.

you have another post going w/the exact pictures. please, no duplication of our efforts. I know you can't delete this post, so lets let this one die and keep everything going on your other one? That way all of the ideas are kept together on one thread.
