Re: OT: need kitchen help

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions! I knew r.c.t.n.ers would have a lot of smart things to say and helpful hints.

I decided that it's worth putting a 2" platform under everything, so stove and dishwasher will match countertop height and it will be more comfortable for me. And I'm planning to be here a good while yet, so I'm gonna do it to please *me* (and DH).

The upper cabinets will still have enough room to clear workspace. Some of them will be about 1/2"-1" shy of the standard 18", but since the ones I have now only leave 15", and I've dealt with that for 17 years, that extra wee bit will seem luxurious to me! Over the longest expanse of actual counter workspace, there will be *much* more "head" room.

(In the past I often envisioned a different solution in front of the sink, where people commonly stand for a period of time: building a trap door with a step-down hole. Rather than raising the sink, you can lower the person washing dishes!)
