So, I carefully planned my new kitchen, placing a range cooker on one wall and the sink and dishwasher opposite on the peninsula.
It had a hot beverage zone and a home for the toaster (both well out of the way of the cooker) and a special place for DH's effing bread maker, tucked away above a cupboard with drawers for his many flours.
I could transfer all plates and cups from the dishwasher to their drawers while standing in one place, and made sure any and all actions were as easy for left handed me as for right handed DH.
Architect forgot to give plan to builder, who has put services all on one wall and concreted the floor
.
So, I can either pay even more £££ to have a pipe run under the floor from the utility (which feels like a fudge that will cause trouble in future) or cram the sink and dishwasher onto the same wall as the cooker and fridge (so much for my dynamic work space).
Does anyone have this arrangement? Is it a total pain in the arse? Will the peninsula just become a place to dump crap if it doesn't have a purpose? Should I strangle someone?
