Spend More Time in Your Kitchen!



When I used to live in my small townhouse, my time in the kitchen was extremely limited. Not because I don’t love to cook, (because it’s one of my favorite pastimes!), but because I would get a horrible sense of claustrophobia in the compressed space. When I had company over for dinner, I usually had to be almost fully prepared before they arrived because I felt terrible when they’d offer to help me out in the kitchen, but it ended up being an incredible hassle trying to cook dinner with two people walking around. As a result, I promised myself that my next kitchen would be the forte of my next house. kitchen1

I believe that a socially and capacity acceptable kitchen is very important for the entertainer. Not only does the amplitude allow for traffic and adequate food preparation for family or parties, but the aura of a profound kitchen is both pleasing and welcoming.

I’m a fan of the kitchen island with barstools because of its classy look and ability to dine casually with your family within a close proximity. Whether you are attracted to a modern, rustic, or country style kitchen, an island accompanied by bar stools add more opportunity to your kitchen experience. For example, I love using my island and stools for that early morning cup of coffee while I read the paper, or providing a good breakfast for my husband and I as we prepare for work. It’s also great for kids too! kitchen4

Don’t neglect your kitchen just because cooking isn’t your aptitude. Instead, allow your kitchen to be one of the highlights of your home, where a social experience is created and invites your family and guests in. Some people believe that the kitchen is only beneficial for cooking, but try treating the space almost like another living room. When you have a party, open your kitchen counter up as buffet access, or sampling appetizers and finger foods. This will also influence your decision to decorate your kitchen space fabulously!
