Mark,
This is how we did the makeover of the Kitchen area in our 77 Eleganza.

A Lot of people used to put the microwave down where the oven was located,
but you had to get down on your knees to use it and look at it. We put the
MW at eye level, added a 2 burner cooktop and used the space available
under the cooktop for additional storage space.
