Please comment on my proposed kitchen layout

We are looking at remodeling the kitchen, we are still in the layout mode. The original kitchen had a few pinch points and bad work flow, we are trying to remedy those. I tend to like to cook and entertain and most gatherings end in my kitchen. So I want to have a space that works well. The kitchen has upper cabinets as well that I didn't draw. The tall cabinet to the left of the garage door is a microwave and oven tall boy. The dishwasher is to the right of the sink.


That is the original kitchen.


Here is our proposed layout


We are considering removing the small wall next to the Bar sink (lower right hand side) but that is the only ceiling joist that ends on that wall and there are pipes from the upstairs bathroom that run through that wall.

    Where do the doorways lead to? Can you sketch out a basic layout of the kitchen + rooms around it so we can see how they all relate to each other?

    When it comes to an island, I think it's best with neither a cooktop or sink. You want a large prep surface for dining or buffet setup. Sinks and cooktops collect clutter, none of which your guests want to sit near. Perhaps a prep sink, but that's it.

    I think the cooktop on the island will be a lot of hassle—it’s the dirtiest part of the kitchen (I know you clean up but that’s after the meal is over—in the meantime people will be sitting amongst the dirty pots and splattered cooktop? No thanks). Even a sink is problematic when the island isn’t very large (again, you’re sitting at the island staring into the pit of dirty pots). This is a nice kitchen but it feels like you’re working too hard to get the romance of communal cooking around casual meals, gather round everyone while I stir and sautée...

    It depends what your cooking and entertaining styles are. Personally I help customers focus on the triangle effect. Sink, refrigerator, and range creating a close triangle in order to cook, clean, and work efficiently. Having a range in the island takes up space for putting out food for gatherings. There's definitely some tight corners between island and dinning room table. We help with designs and remodel mostly remodel mobile homes but do stick built homes as well. Layout and use of the kitchen is so critical. It needs to look good and function good
