You guys have been so helpful in this forum with giving advice that I value your opinions. I need help with planning my kitchen as I am not sold on my design.

The kitchen is a small 8x11 with 8' ceilings. On one of the 8' walls, there is an opening and on the adjacent 11' wall there is a pass through. As well, my under the counter washer needs to remain in the kitchen.

Please help me better my design!

Thanks in advance!

I think you've probably got the best configuration there, but I could offer a couple of pieces of advice.

If your ceilings are 8' you can go with th 39" upper cabinets. That will give you a lot more storage all around.

A small rolling island that lives either in front of the tall pantry or under the window will be helpful extra storage and countertop space when needed.

Where's the fridge?

Thanks for the advice! I wasn't sure if 39 inch would leave too little space in between the counters and the wall cabinets. The fridge will be going on the wall with the window directly across from the tall pantry.
