My island is in the process of being built, so I do not have a pic, but this is what I am basing it on...

It will be a bit bigger than the pic at just under 4' x 6' with 2 seats along the short side & 3 across the long side. The seating sides will have a 15" overhang.

Here is another pic I used to design it ..

RE: Flour / Sugar storage (Follow-Up #36)

I'm with beejay27--I LOVE my Tupperware Modular Mates! They hold everything imaginable and keep it fresh forever. I have one whole pantry full of them. Not just flour and sugar, either--anything that would otherwise be sitting in the pantry in an opened container now gets put into a Modular Mate. They are made to stack to maximize your use of space. Everything is easily identifiable through the side, but just in case, they also come with labels.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tupperware Modular Mates

RE: 36' single bowl vs. 36' double bowl - which is truly most use (Follow-Up #2)

posted by: buehl on 09.30.2008 at 10:00 am in Kitchens Forum

LOL! "Usefulness" depends on (1) what you plan to use it for and (2) personal preference. This is a common question and you will find avid adherents on both sides...the double-bowl lovers and the single-bowl lovers. You will most likely here from both.

So, where do I stand? I'm a double-bowl person! We have a 2-bowl 36" sink. It's the Ticor S405D (which, btw, comes w/grids & strainers & drains).

We use our larger bowl for stacking dirty dishes (it holds so much & hides them so well!) The smaller bowl is used for soaking flatware & utensils when cleaning up. Our GD is in the larger bowl. Our larger bowl is big enough to fit our largest cookie sheet or pan flat in the bottom. If we only had one sink, the smaller would probably be for prep, but we do have a prep sink.

Dimensions:
.....Overall: 35-1/8" x 20-7/8" x 9"
.....Larger: 21-3/8" x 18-3/4" x 9"
.....Smaller: 10-1/2" x 15-7/8" x 7"

Smaller bowl w/8qt stock pot:

Our first spaghetti dinner in our new kitchen!

Larger bowl after a marathon baking session & another w/cookie sheet in bottom:

First use of baking center...cleanup!

RE: please show - L-shape + island (Follow-Up #8)

Positano~ I've always loved your kitchen & love seeing photos of it.

Ours is an L with an island.

Kitchen is roughly 15 by 12. Island is 8 by 5 with a 20 inch overhang. DW drawers are next to the refrigerator and microwave drawer is in the island.
