It would require 2 new custom cabinets to replace the existing units and some plumbing and electrical work.

The renovation is a holiday home where we spend about four-months each year. We do a lot of entertaining and the renovation plans are based on the kitchen layout in our primary residence -- which has worked really well for us for four years now.
The triangle we have planned has the pantry and fridge at each end of the base and the hob and prep surfaces on the island as the 'apex'. Cooking, for us, is almost never performance art.
It is usually a relaxed, social and collegial activity. We hike two hours each day and are not daunted by an extra step or two further than the theoretical minimum -- and are retired so saving those four or five seconds isn't a high priority. Our guests usually contribute to the process and often there is more than one person prepping or cooking at any point in time.
We like a large open space and don't feel the need to explore every brilliant space-saving wrinkle.

There are three types of food-grade grease. Essentially, these greases are made differently so that they are less toxic. Food-grade greases still protect against heat, friction, oxidation, and general wear, but they are also resistant to certain chemicals, water, and degradation from food products.
I would say that the KitchenAid mixer probably uses H1 lubricants in their mixers. Sometimes, oil leaks through the planetary housing and into the mixing bowl, for example. On the other hand, they might use H3 lubricants for safety reasons. I mentioned above that you should definitely use food-grade grease for your mixer over something such as Vaseline or non-food-grade grease, and this is especially true if you use your mixer in a restaurant or to make food for other people.
Food-grade grease is odorless, tasteless, and physiologically inert, so they are designed for food environments and food-related products. The food and health industries are usually extremely careful about this kind of thing. Not only are the food-processing facilities using food-grade grease for their machines, but the facilities that make the packages for the food are also using food-grade grease.
Leakage is pretty common in these places, so the grease needs to be appropriate for the situation. Remember the food-grade grease classifications that I mentioned earlier. When you are browsing the web for a grease, look for the H1 classification, and also check to see if the grease has NSF approval.
However, a little while is not what you are likely looking to take care of your mixer and keep it running smoothly, and to do that you need the right grease for it. Food-Grade Grease is a specific category of greases that have been designed specifically for use in situations where food contact is possible or likely to occur.
These types of greases are rated in accordance with the NSF ratings that I referred to early in this article. There are three main ratings that are used by the NSF standards to describe the type of grease. A product that is rated NSF H-1 is usually intended for the internal components of food processing equipment where there is a possibility of incidental food contact such as a KitchenAid Mixer.
These compounds can serve a multitude of purposes such as providing anti-rust protection, acting as a release agent on gaskets or seals of tank closures, and as a lubricant for machine parts and equipment where they operate in conditions where the lubricant could potentially expose itself to food.
To qualify for this rating the grease must cause no harm when consumed or affect the food's taste or odor when there are small amounts of contamination. These types of lubricants are intended for use on equipment that is not being used in or around food. There is no special list for this type of rating as it makes up a bulk of greases that are not considered food-grade.
Finally, you have the H-3 rating which is your grease and lubricants that are used to on loaf pans, grills, etc to keep foods from adhering to a hard surface. If it is not obvious already as to why you need to be using a good food-grade grease for you KitchenAid Stand Mixer I will run you through a quick scenario that you may have seen yourself.
Well, these moving parts mainly the worm gear and motor are stored in the planetary head portion of the mixer. Which just so happens to be right above where you place your bowl. It is because as the grease gets older and is not used as often the solid portions and the liquid portions will separate. When this happens you may notice a liquid leaking out of your KitchenAid Mixer which by the way means you need to replace the grease ASAP.
And that liquid can easily drip into your food and contaminate it. Which if you choose to be an NSF H-2 rated grease in your mixer you would likely become sick if you were to consume the contaminated food.
