ours is being put in this week or next, so we are kitchen-less at the moment (which is bloody grim, btw).
I am really looking forward to having space for everything after years in teeny rental properties. Although our new place is small, we've designed in a lot of storage space, which means we may occasionally see our worktops in the new kitchen!
The other things we have designed in are:
more sockets - on both sides of the kitchen! enough for kettle, toaster, microwave, and food processor to have their own sockets, plus a spare for other items which we use less frequently.
multiple bins - so we have space for bins in a drawer rather than just under the counter where a small child can get to it!
a storage space for the washing rack and ironing board. Sounds stupid, but we don't have any cupboards in the house, and in our old place, these things were propped against the wall. I'm looking forward to being able to put them away after use!!
I don't like the hatch into the dining room - if we had been better off, we'd have knocked it through to give an archway or door, but we're saving that for when we can afford an extension (our kitchen is teeny tiny).
and we haven't got a washing machine yet, so I'm still debating whether to get a washer or washer-drier. but life without a washing machine is surprisingly exhausting!
