Bathroom and Kitchen

[Kenny Clark]

How important is the kitchen either in your own house or your rentals?  

I go through spurts but I love to cook when there's people to share the experience with. The kitchen is what's sold me in my first house and it'd a great lay out in my current house.

My next house I'll be a bit more specific - bigger deeper sinks, pasta faucet even if I only use it once a yesr for a big jug of summer iced tea lol and a dishwasher, walk in pantry are on my check list.

I feel other amenities like skylights or big windows, cellars for dry storage would be cool too but I'm not really a big baker or canner lol.

Now it's got me thinking - imagine a hidden island? Flip a switch and you get a nice pop up island that comes out of the floor? The floor/counter top would be the hardest thing to work throughcfor that lol

How important is a kitchen when your looking at a new house or rental? Anything you've always wanted or you've never seen before you've imagined and will install some day?
