Bastard apparently vaguely mentioned to his mother that he was looking at getting a dishwasher. Apparently his mother suggested that we redesign the entire kitchen while we're at it, and pulled out several proposed plans. We're nowhere near wanting as much done to the place as she ever suggests (it's so far from cost-effective if we should choose to sell our house that it's not funny), but some rethinking of the base cupboards is in order, unless we want to put the dishwasher in the laundry and buy a new washing machine (a side-loader) to go on top (not enough space otherwise). Bastard had had some thoughts.
Bastard then left me alone with the design software while he went to training.
The design I made in fifteen minutes of thinking and figuring out how to make stuff appear (I spent the most time fiddling with drawer inserts, trying to delete them after I'd seen what they actually looked like) is the best one so far. It has the second-best choice of corner cupboards (which also happen to be more expensive than the first choice) but it has a better use of space and simpler plumbing choices.
The design software we're using is the IKEA one, it's good as a place to start, but there is no way we're going with the options available therein. For one thing, in order to get benches that are as high as we have now (which are the perfect ergonomic height for me, and tolerable for Bastard), we have to have 21cm worth of wasted space underneath, where the cupboards' legs are for the tallest available cupboards. That's another drawer's worth!
Bastard is now fiddling with options some more.
