	\| Again the food is stored in cabinets to the right of the refrigerator and on the back wall to the left of the window. That seems to work. The seating area is changed in two ways. First, it is not as wide as the kitchen so you have the sense of the kitchen being wider, or expanding out from the cozy seating area space. Second, the seating are is at the same level as the counter. The counter feels bigger and more useful without the change in height. There will be a lot of movement between the dishwasher, dish cabinets and the eating area. It seems that it would be easier to slide stuff across the counter back and forth to the dining room. and joins the seating area more closely to the action in the kitchen.

	\|Here I played around with moving the door and putting the refrigerator on the back wall. Now the groceries go on the counter between the refrigerator and the window and the stuff you use alot can go in the cabinets to the right of the refrigerator. There is a pantry tucked in on the other side for storing the rest of the food. Sink/dw/sish storage would be the same. The seating area is at counter level and is more cozy that the one extending across the whole space. There is also a little kitchen office nook on the right as you walk in from the dining room. The relationship between refrigerator, sink and stove are more optimal than the other designs and it still works great for 2 cooks and OK for three cooks in the U. Having the refrigerator to the left of the window makes the counter between the fridge and sink as prime work area.		\|Here I played around with moving the door and putting the refrigerator on the back wall.
