In fact we're going to do exactly what you suggested, move the stove into place where the dishwasher is going to go. It means less work for me (the dishwasher will remain where it is today), and reduce the "triangle". <BR/><BR/>Stay tuned all, as I'm going to post a spreadsheet here tracking my project costs.Dustin and Camilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08612734556006032154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-83589280264109432732009-01-06T09:28:00.000-08:002009-01-06T09:28:00.000-08:00I love, love, love this!!! my parents bought a tiny condo in SLC that had the same problem. And their remodel is similar (on a MUCH smaller scale). They put wood floors down and the whole room looks SO good.Lelanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03116310775042395925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-74810026544638510862009-01-02T21:46:00.000-08:002009-01-02T21:46:00.000-08:00In the words of everyone else...Wow!

Did you consider swapping the dishwasher and the stove to reduce the 'triangle'?Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17564263991087752809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-23884990342655189332008-12-21T16:02:00.000-08:002008-12-21T16:02:00.000-08:00All the design work was done in Sketchup, which is free, and has animated tutorials to teach you how to use it. It's amazing, and simple! There are models on the internet that you can import into your design, to save you work. For example, I imported the TV, the couch, coffee table, fridge, microwave, stove, dishwasher, and sink. Cool, huh?Dustin and Camilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08612734556006032154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-4370718289868145962008-12-21T12:06:00.000-08:002008-12-21T12:06:00.000-08:00i absolutely love it! i am a believer of "the fewer walls the better"! i LOVE the open feeling! if you can open it up go for it!! it looks fantastic and you will love it for entertaining! and i love built-ins!<BR/><BR/>i am so excited to design and build our next house!Mahinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06016657817994625635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-51497321372562587702008-12-21T07:27:00.000-08:002008-12-21T07:27:00.000-08:00Dustin,<BR/><BR/>All I can say is wow. WE have more in common then I knew. Chris and I have the same problem with our house. It is completely outdated, more so then yours and we also want to open up the wall between the kitchen and family room for entertaining purposes. I can't wait to show chris some of the stuff on here.Darilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02967158407019309434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-23141953620971716002008-12-20T15:26:00.000-08:002008-12-20T15:26:00.000-08:00If you're in OR any time soon let me know I'll put you to work. ;o)Dustin and Camilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08612734556006032154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179507.post-77373915741946361762008-12-20T15:12:00.000-08:002008-12-20T15:12:00.000-08:00Wow - this looks like quite the ambitious project.
