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

Was debating on a wine cooler and possibly refrigerator drawers if I can justify it in the budget

I would't waste space in my kitchen proper for a wine fridge. Would relegate that to a closet or other space in the house. They're not that great to look at aesthetically anyways.

Debating on countertops right now. Don't want granite...I was thinking maybe butcher block on the island and quartz on the countertops

I like sealed concrete or black or white quartz. Have only ever seen 1 or 2 granites I like and they're both expensive as frick. Anything but that cheap, generic brown granite gated communities put in their show homes.

What are some things you would want in a kitchen?

---

island with a contrasting top (butcher block if primaries are quartz, for example).

traditional fridge. I can't stand the shallow french door types with the bottom freezer.

double oven if you plan to host holiday meals or family gatherings

window above the sink if possible
