A stylish kitchen that matches what’s trending right now.
A kitchen that encourages entertaining by providing seating and space
for people to congregate.
Storage space for everything in the kitchen, to eliminate keeping pantry
items in the laundry room and the crockpot on the shelves in the garage.
A kitchen that makes it easy to experiment with exotic foods and new
recipes—with easy access to spice racks, knives and cutting boards,
pots and pans.
A timeless kitchen that will always be more or less in style.
A kitchen that makes room for pet food storage, water bowls, and
spaces for animals to sit out of the way, watching what’s going on
without being underfoot.
Ideas that keep the kitchen quiet—less banging of pots and clinking
of silverware, no slamming of drawers, less rustling around to find the
colander or mixing bowl or jar of bay leaves or bag of chips you want.
A kitchen that the family feels comfortable hanging around in,
encouraging conversation.
Ideas that incorporate audio/visual entertainment, from music and
television to places where it’s safe for electronics to stay dry and out
of the way of food prep.
A kitchen that’s designed to make it easy to bake—with easy
storage for baking sheets and mixing bowls, and countertop space
for rolling out dough.
A kitchen that can stand up to wear and tear over many years.
