Kitchen Before The Gut Job

Here are some more pictures of the kitchen. Notice the space where the range used to be, where the sink is, and where the dishwasher is.

My range will remain in the same spot but will be a gas range. However, the sink and the dishwasher are moving up towards the large window. This picture is taken from the doorway coming from the living room. Every time I would have the dishwasher open, nobody would be able to come into the kitchen. Thats why it's moving to the opposite side of the kitchen, not to mention the noise level in the living room when it would be running.

Right where their fridge is in this picture is where mine will also be, but it will be turned with the back towards that small wall. The opening on the left goes into the living room but is now wider than before. The wall behind the washer / dryer was the old pantry. That wall is now gone. The washer and dryer are no longer going to be in the kitchen. I'll still have a pantry, it won't be nearly as large as this one but it will be plenty big enough. I have to give up pantry space to have a center island.!
