Our new build Warbler, island on sink side across from stove has 3 drawers, a pull out trash drawer with 2 bins( I hate will be converted to regular cabinet) one large tall baking sheet/ cookie/pullout, cabinet, dishwasher, and double cabinet under sink.

On opposite side I have 3 double cabinets. With overhang of quartz counter to accommodate 4-6 chairs or stools.

Our Lilly with pony, we have dishwasher, double cabinet under sink, 2 drawers, cabinet under drawers.

So if we rip out the pony put in a single level Island, I will gain the same cabinets as our current house. The island will move closer to back cabinets by 3.6 feet, ( the curve in the pony takes up a lot of space) giving more space in the living room. Of course doing this floor tile will have to be ripped out, because there may or may not be tile under the pony and probably won’t match.

I see someone else posted they are doing the same thing at their northern home, to gain more space and cabinets
