re: Designing a Kitchen (well sort of) - need some ideas

I've never understood the big deal about having a pot filler. I've never wanted one and I make a lot of big stocks and boil large pots of pasta, but there are so many other things I'd rather have than a pot filler.

Definitely get double ovens and large ones. I'm about to get a warming drawer.

I have electrical outlets at each end of my island. It's a long island, so each end has served many purposes. I have a lot of outlets in my kitchen in various places.

Consider lights under your cabinets in work areas. Get a good light above your sink and not one of those dinky night lights.

I love having a ceiling fan in the cook area when I've got a lot of things on the stove and in ovens. I added additional AC vents recently, also.

Think about how you cook, how you move around when you cook, the types of things you cook and want to cook in considering your appliance.

Can't say much on the fridge. I don't think I'd like the fridge drawers at all.
