You mean like this?

The fridge, dishwasher and sink are on the left side (out of the shot). The
prep-island in the middle has drawers and cabinets for storing cookware.
(Personally, I'd hang a rack for some pots over the prep island, but it's
okay the way it is.) The stove, oven and microwave are on the right. You
can walk around all day and not bump into someone who is working.

This is the kitchen in my parents' home.
