Dont forget the ceiling lights, under counter lights and floor accent lights!!!
I just bought this house and want to re-wire the kitchen correctly
For a renovation of this sort you need to have a permit as you will be doing the entire kitchen and will need to bring it up to code for your state. I'm in Connecticut, and that would mean the 2005 code, but CT. is one of only 4 states using the 2005 code. Your state will likely be using the 2008 code, or if you are in Mass. it will be the 2011 code. At any rate, you will need a separate circuit for the refrigerator, another TWO GFIC circuits for the counter top devices, another for the dishwasher, a 240v circuit for the stove/oven (if you have that), and *possibly* more for lighting. You mentioned quite a few items that draw considerable power, so depending on how you use them (do you entertain a lot?) you may need yet another circuit. Your best bet is to get a couple of quotes from licensed electrical contractors, and list everything you need just as you did here. Also show them the panel so they can determine if you have room for the circuits they will need and the power they will draw. Quotes are *usually* free, and that will give you the best idea of what you will need. They will be able to actually see what you have now, and with the list of items you intend to use, and how you intend to use them, will be able to give you the right numbers, both for number of circuits and for cost.
