I think you are being very practical.  You and your daughter need an
accessible kitchen. You might find it to your advantage to consult a
professional interior designer and discuss with her or him your plans.
As yours and Amber's needs take priority, get as much professional advice
as possible.  A good interior designer would take into account yours and
Amber's needs.  If any of your relatives possess a talent for interior
design, so much the better.  In any case, a good design consultant should
be sensitive to special needs.
