I love my new kitchen, and the quality of my cabinets; however felt my Premier rep could have offered more in terms of layout ideas. I have one wall with a sliding glass door, the only window in kitchen, and the previous sink was facing that door from countertop, which is nice for natural light. The first draft of new kitchen had the sink facing a wall, and lots of interrupted counter space with stove, sink all in a row against the wall, and then a big blank island. I asked that the sink and therefore dishwasher go in the island, which allows me to look at guests at the island counter, and out the window; it was also was better plumbing-wise as little (expensive) rerouting was needed. Another thing I wish had been highlighted is that the standard upper microwave cabinet is really shallow. When I actually shopped for microwaves, none fit in the niche, but then was too late. So though I have a custom kitchen, I have my microwave on the countertop, and had to repurpose the microwave space in the cabinets by improvising a wine rack that fits the space - still looks a bit silly with the outlet in the middle, but the bottles can cover it. My last comment was about ordering the sink countertop; I wish I'd been asked if I wanted a hole for the soap dispenser, which I would have preferred rather than having soap on counter. Perhaps that would be difficult to fill with the deeper sink, but then I would not have bought a faucet with a matching dispenser that I will never use. Minor things but when leading a client through all these decisions, having these options presented would have been helpful. Thanks!
