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.
