Solving the kitchen again ...

Now that the contractor has tentatively blessed my rearrangement of appliances, I had to redo the top cabinets. It wasn't so easy, because my rhythmic frieze of 24"x18" cabinets along the top looked dumb with the doors below. Here's what I came up with:

The bit by the fridge still isn't right - the fridge will really be built-in, with no gap between it and the next cabinet; and the storage above it will be as deep as the fridge, e.g. 24".

Here's a quick mock-up of my cabinet doors with this design. I know it looks amateurish - I'm using a freeware paint program to paste on the doors, that's why I can't do the ones under the window: I can't get it to do perspective. In real life they'll match the others of course.

I'm afraid it's getting too busy. I don't know if I should still mix the door styles - e.g. notice that the bottom cabinets on either side of the stove are different from all the other cabinet doors. I've discarded the third style in my mix completely now. But I do like the puzzle patchwork way in which the door sizes and shapes are arranged.
