I would built a half wall, possibly sides too, with a shelf/bar area across the top, back your kitchen center up to that on one side...
the other side could be a counter height sit-at bar, or more base cabinets and counter space... you could even hang cabinets down from the ceiling above it....pot rack, wine/glassware rack, pendant lights, vent... all very similar to the ad drawing....the controls for the stove top are to the left, above the dishwasher, you may have to stoop to see them, but still accessible... | ||

GE Kitchen Center as an Island
Melissa, getting your Kitchen Center installed will be fun and very rewarding to see it back in service!
I had considered installing mine as an island at some point during the "where the hell is this going to fit" stage of planning my 2009 kitchen renovation. However, my kitchen area was too narrow to accomodate such an installation... It could work but I have a couple of ideas based on lessons learned with mine. My first suggestion is to have some sort of a frame behind the unit with brackets to hold the counter in place. I did not realize this was needed so mine just sits on top of the cabinets and appliances; cosequently it rattles like hell when the dishwasher or washer/dryer are running! About the 'cabinettes' - these should rest right on the top ledge of the counter units (two should be 9 feet in total to cover the unit from end to end). They will be fairly high installed in this fashion and may make having an eating counter behind the unit feel closed off from the kitchen center. If you have the washer/dryer and dishwasher units, I'd recommend that any panels you use to enclose the rear of these appliances easy to remove. Trust me, it may be easier to take apart a couple of panels instead of pulling appliances out of the Kitchen Centre! I've got a service manual for the 1955 version of the Kitchen Center buried somewhere in the house in Ogden - I'll see if they have any installation suggestions or guidelines about an island installation. Good luck!! | ||
