Solutions. Griffith changed the U-shape of the kitchen to an L-shape, moved the sink and replaced the double wall ovens and separate stovetop with a range. She swapped out the over-the-stovetop microwave for a microwave drawer. She used a counter-depth refrigerator and tweaked the cabinet composition to make it feel more open and fresh. Part of this included removing two cabinets that wrapped the corner past the sink. (See before-and-after plans below.)Now she was able to fit in the large central island her client had been dreaming of. By moving the sink into the island, she got rid of that awkward corner situation. And don’t worry, the homeowners still have a view — the sink faces out the sliding glass door to the backyard. Island. The island is 4 by 8 feet and has seating for five. Inside are pullout trash bins and dishwashers, and the back has additional storage for bulky items and appliances not used every day. The faucet is a modern matte black.
