We rearranged the sink/dishwasher area to suit my left-handedness, and I did give her some additional details on things, like "stainless steel sinks, kitchen one deep and 2 unequal compartments", "kitchen faucet with pull-out sprayer", "5-burner gas cooktop with sealed burners, continuous grate if I can find one I like". I will try to stick to the 27" wide wall oven she has currently in the drawings, as I think that will be a comparable capacity to my current narrow-but-tall-and-deep oven of 1960's vintage.
Oh, and lighting. I want fairly large ceiling fluorescents in both kitchen and utility room, and she suggested under-cabinet fluorescent strip lights for most of the task lighting. I'll keep a smaller fluorescent fixture over the sink, either on the wall like the current one or on the ceiling--that's my "night light", turned on when I'm out for the evening and want a light on in the house so I don't come home in the dark.
I don't think I've posted the link to the page where I'm going to try to put some stuff tracking the remodeling as it progresses--all that's there now are sketches of the future and current floor plans, and some notes, but I may try to scan these better plans and the elevations over the weekend.
Better head to bed--I've got to get up in the morning and do another load of laundry, then pack and head to south Georgia to my father's for the weekend.
