A little tighter than we wanted, but it works!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183168966431701470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-11764885680527736412014-02-08T19:01:34.001-05:002014-02-08T19:01:34.001-05:00My Kitchen is almost the same dimensions.

It's inexpensive (approx $50) and pretty easy to use. It does have some 3D capability, but it's pretty basic.<br /><br />For the nice color 3D views in this blog post, that was done by the system at Home Depot. If you give them detailed dimensions, they can generate the drawings for you, showing the exact cabinets you plan to use. Obviously their system is a much higher quality than mine! <br /><br />Good luck with your project!!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183168966431701470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-10010762294750659972013-08-30T14:05:07.262-04:002013-08-30T14:05:07.262-04:00Can you let me know the software you used to draw ...Can you let me know the software you used to draw these diagrams?

I went back and looked at the dimensions - it's 19' 7" x 11' 4", but the refrigerator actually sits back in a little closet, which was a big help in the layout. I love a U shape - it's so efficient, but still allows a lot of counter space for work area. Our U shaped area is roughly 11 x 11. So you were really close with your guess!<br /><br />I hope to have pictures of the 'in process' work soon!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183168966431701470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-9824027224505695602013-08-28T21:13:13.891-04:002013-08-28T21:13:13.891-04:00Wow, isn't that amazing!!!

Would you mind telling us the exact size/measure of the space? The work area (the U-shape area) looks like something close to a typical 10*10, but perhaps bigger than that?<br /><br />Thanks, and looking forward to this kitchen's completed transformation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-16159809203649777402013-08-28T18:45:36.190-04:002013-08-28T18:45:36.190-04:00woah!!
