Anyone who knows me, knows that I spend a LOT of time in my kitchen. After all, I am a recipe blogger, and I test every recipe before I share it with my readers. Sundays especially are "heavy" kitchen days for me as I try to prepare meals, snacks, etc in advance of the upcoming school and work week. My family spends a lot of time in the kitchen too - whether it is eating meals together or doing homework or playing games at the table, I would say the kitchen is the most used room in our house.
Lucky for me, I have a kitchen that I am happy with. It is a decent size with good counter space - always a plus for us (messy) cooks! The eating area has a huge 8-seater table and the area has 4 large windows and a (windowed) door to outside to the back patio and back yard - which means that I have a bright kitchen and I can see my kids as I work in the kitchen and as they play in the yard. It was a big selling feature for us when we bought our home, and we have been happy with it.
Of course there are things that I would like to change about my kitchen - I would like a more open concept style into our living/play room, as sometimes I feel closed off from everyone if I am in the kitchen and they are all in the living/play room. That might be a reno for us once kids toys are gone (otherwise those toys would be all over the kitchen). We like to entertain, but I don't feel like our current kitchen is a true "entertainer's kitchen". And I would really like a new stove. I would love one with a double oven and convection. I had a convection oven in our last house that I miss. I feel that our cabinets are a little outdated, but they are in such good shape that I could never justify tearing them out "just because". I'd also love a built in cleaner...to clean up after all my cooking and baking messes! LOL
Fortunately for us, I do have help in the cleaning department - we have Finish Quantum in our house. We switched to the Finish line of products a while back now, and have never looked back. We have always been happy with the quality of clean that we get from Finish Quantum.
Right now, Finish and Bosch have partnered and will be turning the dream kitchens of 10 families into reality with their 10 Ultimate Kitchen makeovers valued at $10,000 as part of their Buy One Get One Free with mail-in-rebate promotion! Head on over to their Facebook page for more details!
Tell me, what would your dream kitchen look like?
