The U shape and G shaped kitchens are 90% of my reasons for doing kitchen guts. The other 10% is due to appliance replacement related issues. The transformation to the L shape with and island increases the function 10 fold. That does not even take in to account the upgrade in the aesthetic. I have a good friend that is a local realtor come through a house I recently converted from a U to an L with a large island. She was shocked at the difference the layout made and moreover it assure a much higher value to the home. He comment was " wow there is hope for the common house. This looks like a custom home and will sell like one."

As a side note: The couple was thrilled with the results but there was however a surprising benefit they never expected. The island gave this newly opened space a strong hold. No matter where in the kitchen the elderly Husband was he had a place to grab or lean against if he felt unsteady. Older Baby Boomers take note. The L shape with an island works on every level.
