P.S.: Ive seen kitchens where the stove was in a corner
but at 45 degrees
again , counter top both L and R of the stove were at
45 degrees to the stove , and not in line
have no idea is the stove had to be at that place for other reasons .
45 degree stuff at the corners is very nice , and doesn't take up that
much additional floor space.
also , ' pull ' your counters aways from the wall
rather than standard , this gives you much more counter space
and get a splash guard all round your counter
3 " is very nice, and oddly costing more than you think
but well worth it . my counters are corian , so the splash guards are
integral to the countertop
ie made in one piece
if marble , the splash guard is glued to the countertop.
