Yay Feeb!

I love our big bench/island - to have lots of space is so cool.
I like that we have a double power point at each end of the bench. And on either side of the stove.
I love that the bench overhangs so people can sit at it and chat to me while I cook (our old kitchen was in a separate room and I demand someone talks to me when I cook these days... abandonment issues much? ).
I love having my hot drinks station. I have the kettle on the bench against the wall and a cupboard with mugs and tea/coffee/stuff overhead. I know for many people it's probably a given but it's so convenient! Milk's the only thing I have to travel for.
The drawers are cool.
We don't have dishdrawers, but we easily do a load a day (plus we have a half load).
A massive clock near the kitchen (okay, that's not a kitchen thing, but I don't often use timers so it's great for good reference).
All the storage! Lots of room. Some drawers, some cupboards. I can't imagine anyone going wrong with all drawers really. (Well, perhaps not for up high, although I've seen wine glasses stored that way, and I imagine cups on hooks would work too...)

What I wish I had:
A walk in pantry, or drawers that pull out. We've only been here 4 months and I have no idea what's at the back of the pantry!
An appliance cupboard with many many powerpoints for the permanent things like toaster and breadmaker that sit on the bench.
A magnetic knife strip, the knife block takes up too much precious room (at least that will be relatively cheap to fix one day!).
Somewhere for the bin! (or a good looking bin at least )
Smooth splashback, like glass. No issues with our cool dimply white tiles, but I can imagine the white grout eventually not being white anymore.


Anyway. It's not a particularly fancy kitchen, and given the kitchen we came from, we are grateful for the small things like a pantry and more than a metre of bench. But those are my thoughts.
