We have lived in our home for about 5 years and I am at a point where I want to do a kitchen remodel. I want to add a dishwasher, which I know will take away counter space and cabinet space, both of which I already want more of. I also want to paint, because the paint used by the previous owner is coming off when I wash the walls. In addition, we have a fryer which splatters, I was trying to think of what to do with this, maybe tilling like around the stove? Our kitchen is one long rectangle with an 5ft opening to our living room 3 ft from the wall. The wall between the kitchen and living room, beside this opening is load bearing so I don't want to change that. The other end of the long rectangle is the fridge, opening to the hall and exit.
