Then I would stay away from metal legs/support which may look too modern, but you can stick to a contemporary look with timber legs to add some warmth to the kitchen and tie in with the dining set, I would suggest something along those lines:

Yes, I was planning on a free standing stove on the opposite wall and no top cabinets on the stove wall. Should I use mirror as splash back ? And black cabinets for the pantry wall and white on the others, White a white stone for bench top ?

I understand the beam being installed when you did your earlier extension as that was an external wall, that's why I have suggested keeping part of the wall next to the island which was also an external wall, to support this, I will check this in the drawing to ensure it lines up for you. By opening up this wall as much as possible you are allowing more light back into the house The cost of running plumbing across I think is negative/comparable to moving the plumbing for the re positioned laundry and kitchen and removing any load bearing walls. Storage in the new kitchen is a big 2900 x 900 island of drawers for easy access, I have added a wall oven but that could become a 600 pantry with drawers in the lower part with a shelf above for small appliances. The wall with the TV could be a wall of narrow built in storage to be used in any way you need. This floor plan gives better flow between kitchen/family.dining/alfresco and better for unloading the car with the driveway running down beside the kitchen and verandah

Apologies for taking so long to come back into the conversation but I have been busy arranging my own kitchen redesign and renovation..... as you do. Thanks for supplying the overall living layout... I think. Your layout confuses me more so now than before. I could be completely wrong but I'm getting the sense that the house has probably seen a series of remodels and extensions in it's time. Each extension has probably disrupted the natural flow and layout of the previous living zones and made more problems, rather than solve them. Am I correct to think: The double doors are the front entrance? The single door next to them, leads to a bedroom or office or something similar? If my hunches are right, then The SNUG / LIBRARY This appears to give you the greatest solution to making a generous new kitchen. I go back to my first RED kitchen as the inspiration. I liked the siriuskey suggestion to have a walk-in scullery at the very end of the kitchen, so my suggestion would be to incorporate that with my red kitchen U design where the kitchen is on the opposite wall to where you currently have it. [YES, I know you would have to cut through the concrete to get the plumbing across to that side but in the overall scheme of things, you would end up so much more usable bench area and entertaining opportunities. I'm having to do just that to reconfigure my kitchen but by biting the bullet, I'm getting something that works, not something that just 'makes do'. ] Move the door to the dining room around onto the snug wall as I previously suggested and use the whole of that dining room wall to get a huge kitchen worthy of entertaining your guests. When I look at your plan, the fact that you have a lounge, a family eatery, a family room and outdoor entertainment all in close proximity - these all scream that the snug/ library is probably a very under used space. I would do away with it altogether and knock through into the lounge. You would then have a proper flow between that and your family living areas. I'm getting vibes that the lounge is another very under utilized area of your house......or at the very least an area that you have to make yourself go to .....because on the plan, it feels so isolated from the rest of the living spaces. With all of this in mind, I think the remaining snug area and [if I'm correct] the entrance could be combined to make a grand entrance. I would even go one step further and suggest that by extending the entrance into the snug space, what ever the space is beyond the single door off the current entrance, could benefit by relocating the wall closer to the double doors. I'm going to make the suggestion that, as we currently don't have a full picture of your house plans, you will probably benefit greatly by having an architect take a proper look at the layout of the house. Architects don't come cheap but in this instance, I get the feeling they will be able to resolve a lot of the inherited problems in a much better way than this forum is going to be able to do.
