And you wash your kitchen floor every night? My hat's off to you. I'm lucky to sweep it! But that's me. (And my floor is so old and awful that it's demoralizing to actually give it enough attention to clean it.)<BR/><BR/>My kitchen, though, is only marginally better than your in terms of space and layout. You can see my counter top space <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/46773919@N00/323527878/" REL="nofollow">here</A> on flickr, though it sounds like I have a bit more than you do. I've made it as functional as I can, but it's my particular peeve, too. <BR/>PS--about the dishwasher, when we had one, I found that if I loaded it up and was sure to run it at night (maybe after you've washed your floor) I could unload it in the morning with ease. We only needed to run it about every other night: but just having a set time to run and unload it made life immeasurably easier than just doing it whenever.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073474081578035333.post-59746794296403836982008-01-21T22:33:00.000-06:002008-01-21T22:33:00.000-06:00the kitchen has a nice work triange- but no storag...the kitchen has a nice work triange- but no storage (outside of the pantry) and no countertop prep area. There just is no good way to prep veggies and meat at the same time, and there is no where to plate the food when it's done. What this place needs is an overhaul- and that just won't happen financially for a good long time!thefarmersdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285164600604381321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073474081578035333.post-51809857987954184062008-01-21T19:59:00.000-06:002008-01-21T19:59:00.000-06:00Just being small does nothing to make a kitchen ea...Just being small does nothing to make a kitchen easy to deal with! You have to have a workable cabinet layout for your cooking style, which is a long way from being a no-brainer.drwendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583869876969470655noreply@blogger.com
