I am certainly ...Thanks so much for the compliment! I am certainly loving the new kitchen. Great questions and I'm glad you stopped by! I can use both the drawer and the cabinet to the right of the stove. The door opens flawlessly but to open the drawer, I do have to open the door to the oven. Ahhhhhh, the joys of remodeling an old kitchen. If I had scrapped the original cabinet boxes and started 100% for scratch with the cabinets, I wouldn't have this problem, but since I refaced the old boxes with new doors and drawers fronts, the drawer is an inch or so in the way. No worries though. I just keep all of those rarely used kitchen utensils tucked neatly away in this drawer. <br /><br />The entire bottom corner is completely usable just as it was before and makes for great storage. With the need to add a space for a range (instead of a cook top and wall oven like I had before) and a doorway connecting my laundry room to the kitchen, I had limited options as to where I could put the new oven, but so far with the only hiccup being the drawer to the left of the stove, I've found the layout to be very functional...and much more attractive :)<br /><br />CaraCara @ Live the Home Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229300912836984894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184224265560825624.post-17156899870365166282012-04-18T15:34:33.000-05:002012-04-18T15:34:33.000-05:00Your reno work is beautiful (as always).

And, also, if that whole bottom corner is just unused space? If so, why did you make this choice, instead of positioning the stove elsewhere? Thank you.
