The Perfect Kitchen: A Wishlist
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Everyone has one. A list of all the fancy features and gadgets and really cool (and useful) things we want for our kitchens. Some items on our lists might be just for show, something fancy that we might never really use, but it’d look neat in our kitchen. Others probably have a purpose, something that would make your time cooking or clening up easier and faster.
My list certainly has both. On the impractical side, I would love to have one of those refrigerators that looks just like your cabinets. The room would just flow so much better without a big, metal box in the middle of our wall. A dishwasher that looks like a cabinet drawer and is so quiet your baby can sleep while it runs is on my wish list too, for pretty much the same reason. Dishwashers are definitely workhorses (especially at my house) but not much to look at.
A fancy backsplash is another of my impractical needs. You know, the impossibly intricate mosaic kind made of thousands of tiny pieces of glass. Maybe it could even be arranged in a fussy picture design, like an underwater motif or a nod to the southwest complete with a cactus and a kokopelli?
On the more practical side, I’d simply love a kitchen with more counter space. Who couldn’t use that? Better lighting (okay, and more stylish light fixtures) is another thing I could actually use. And a pantry, a real walk-in pantry, with spacious shelves and floor space, would also be on my list.
It may be awhile before I get the cabinet dishwasher or my fancy backsplash, but being able to get some of the items on my wishlist, like the lights we’re installing this weekend, helps me feel better about the place where I spend a good chunk of time each day (also known as “my office”). So, dish, what things top your kitchen wish list? Can’t wait to hear your ideas, practical or not. Regards!
