I'm meeting with a new potential kitchen designer in a few days. During our initial conversation, it was interesting to reflect on how far this new potential design is from the old one. A world of difference and I love it. This new kitchen placement just feels so much more natural to me.
As a point of reference here is the history of the kitchen placement:
- 1910 - 1950s --> middle of the house, where the den with built-ins used to be
- 1950s - 2017 --> converted the back porch to the kitchen
- Design --> middle of the house on the back, very open concept
- Current Design --> back to the corner of the house
Not only does the corner placement just feel better, but I also just love that it is back where it was for the last 50 years. Feels right. As a point of comparison, here are the two re-designs of this area of the house.

- the giant windows
- how the island fits in
- the dining table being a part of the space
[1] check out that big window on the left. It’s like 5 feet wide - or so.
